Communications service providers can now tap the full potential of 5G New Radio (NR) technology with the commercial availability of Ericsson Standalone 5G NR software for 5G mid- and low bands, announced the company on Monday.
The software became globally available to all customers in June. With the general availability of Standalone 5G NR software on low and mid bands, Ericsson now offers an end-to-end Standalone 5G solution.
With this software, communications service providers can now operate 5G NR without the need for signaling support from an underlying LTE network, said Ericsson.
