Telstra has unveiled plans to launch an industrial grade on-premise 5G wireless platform through a partnership with Ericsson. The telco said the platform, which can be deployed on-site, utilises 4G and 5G technology. Telstra added the platform would provide secure, scalable and resilient wireless connectivity to expand connectivity capacity. During a media briefing, manufacturing, transport, ports, mining and agriculture were all industries cited which were suited to the solution by Ericsson’s ANZ boss Emilio Romeo. “This solution is unique in that it gives organisations access to an independent 4G/5G network on their premises to deliver enhanced wireless capabilities,” Telstra’s head of networks and IT Shailin Sehgal said in a statement.
