According to Swedish telecom gear maker Ericsson, it has partnered with US telco Verizon to provide it with networking equipment for their commercial 5G launch. Verizon will deploy the pre-standard 5G commercial radio network and the 5G Core network in select markets in second half of 2018.


According to Fredrik Jejdling, Executive Vice President and Head of Business Area Networks, Ericsson, “Our pioneering work with 5G will make US consumers and businesses among the first in the world to benefit from the transformative services of the new technology. It further illustrates how our global 5G portfolio, designed to support 5G NR as standardized in 3GPP, enables first movers in the early commercialization of 5G networks."

Ed Chan, SVP Technology Strategy and Planning for Corporate Networking and Technology, Verizon commented, “5G will change the way we work, interact, learn and play. Through our work with Ericsson, we are creating a clear roadmap and building a robust ecosystem that will enable us to maximize the potential of 5G.”
