Mobily trial 5G on 800/1800MHz band using Ericsson Spectrum Sharing in Saudi Arabia
· Mobily and Ericsson test 5G on low band for extended
5G coverage
· Ericsson Spectrum Sharing will support Mobily in
expanding 5G coverage
Mobily has teamed up with Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) to
trial 5G on 800/1800 MHz band using Ericsson Spectrum
Sharing .The trial showed 5G capabilities in a real-world
environment over a live network, including tests on speed
and latency.
Ericsson Spectrum Sharing allows both 4G and 5G to be
deployed in the same band and on the same radio through a
software upgrade – instantly allocating spectrum between
the two mobile technologies based on user demand on a
one millisecond (ms) basis. The award-winning solution will
allow Mobily to efficiently manage 4G and 5G traffic in its
network thereby enhancing coverage, performance, and
mobility.
Eng. Alaa Malki, Chief Technology Officer at Mobily says:
“With Ericsson Spectrum Sharing, Mobily can improve 5G
mid-band coverage while maintaining the 4G customer
experience. Given that this is one of the strategic steps for
Mobily toward 5G standalone deployment using the same
spectrum and radio assets we utilize for 4G.”
Ekow Nelson, Vice President at Ericsson Middle East and
Africa says: “The successful 5G trial is an important step in
our strategy to continuously expand and modernize
Mobily’s network. Ericsson Spectrum Sharing is a unique
innovation that instantly shares spectrum between 4G and
5G carriers based on traffic demand. This Ericsson
innovation will enable Mobily to use its spectrum assets
efficiently and will drive 5G-wide coverage rollout quickly,
smoothly and cost efficiently.”
The Ericsson Spectrum Sharing solution will give Mobily
a head-start in expanding its 5G services, signaling new
opportunities, including in the areas of
agriculture, smart cities and healthcare. It can rapidly
enable the continuous coverage required, bringing the full
advantage of network slicing and lower latency to power
new business opportunities across a multitude of industries
in cities, on factory floors, and roads across the Kingdom.
