Ericsson’s dynamic spectrum sharing solution won Overall Mobile Technology and Best
Mobile Technology Breakthrough at the 2020 Global Mobile Awards.
Cairo, Egypt, March 5th 2020 – Winning the Overall Mobile Technology Award, also known
as the CTO Award, means
that Ericsson is recognized as a technology leader in 2020 for its innovative Ericsson
Spectrum Sharing solution.
The 25th annual awards were judged by a panel leading industry and subject matter
experts, analysts, journalists, academics and mobile operator representatives. According to
the judges, Ericsson Spectrum Sharing helps operators to migrate from 4G to 5G in a faster,
simpler and more efficient manner and helps operators maximize usage of infrastructure
and spectrum assets.
“What I love about it is that it will allow us to transition from one technology to another
utilizing the same spectrum band. This has not been achievable until now,” read the
GLOMO judge’s motivation.
Ericsson Spectrum Sharing also won the Best Mobile Technology Breakthrough Award.
According to the award judges, “This is a powerful enabler that will help accelerate the
rollout of 5G by maximizing the re-use of existing hardware, thus saving costs while
avoiding disruption to customer service, and helping to speed time to revenue for both
telcos and customers.”
Ericsson Spectrum Sharing can significantly increase resource efficiency by introducing 5G
in lower frequency bands at existing sites to create coverage. This marks the first-time
spectrum can be shared dynamically between technologies on the same band, enabling
spectrum sharing between 4G and 5G. Service providers can roll out 5G with minimal
impact on user experience, increase efficiency, boost service assurance and greatly
enhance performance and mobility.

In addition, Ericsson has been recognized with a GTI award, in Mobile Technology category
at the annual GTI (Global TDD Initiative) awards for its RAN Compute solution and product
portfolio.
Ericsson’s RAN Compute solution won the award for its role in the commercialization of 5G,
as it enables communications service providers to take advantage of low-frequency bands
to achieve wide 5G New Radio (NR) coverage without affecting 4G service – all while
protecting existing spectrum investments. Ericsson’s baseband products, combined with
Ericsson Radio System solutions, enable operators to maximize the use of available
frequency through Ericsson Spectrum Sharing, Ericsson’s dynamic spectrum sharing
