With help from Intel, Ericsson has extended its Cloud RAN (Radio Access Network) offering to include support for 5G mid-band and massive MIMO deployments. Ericsson’s expanded portfolio will leverage Intel’s compute – across multiple product generations of Intel Xeon Scalable processors and accelerator technology — to enable high-density capacity solutions.
The goal of the new offerings, according to Ericsson, is to help communications service providers (CSPs) “capitalize on 5G spectral assets to roll out services quickly and efficiently, while delivering a more responsive experience to mobile broadband users.”
