Ericsson eyes Malaysia s 5G evolution Ayisy Yusof
KUALA LUMPUR: Ericsson, Sweden s networking and telecommunications giant, will continue to support Malaysia s communications service providers to evolve seamlessly from the fourth generation (4G) of broadband cellular network to 5G, leveraging on its technology leadership and global expertise.
Ericsson Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh president David Hägerbro said it was supporting 85 live 5G deployments across 42 countries globally with 136 commercial 5G contracts. Networks in Malaysia need to evolve to address the growing data traffic. The current networks will only be able to address the consumer demand for data services to a point. Telecom networks will have to be upgraded and evolved. 5G is inherently more cost-efficient as it enables massive reductions in cost per gigabyte, almost by a factor of 10, he told the New Straits Times recently.
