In its latest 5G “magic quadrant” assessment, Gartner labeled Ericsson as the standout network infrastructure and communications service provider, placing it ahead of China’s Huawei and Finland’s Nokia, the only other companies that the Gartner report labeled as “leaders” in the field.
Some of Ericsson’s particular strengths, as detailed by Gartner, include its improvements having to do with dynamic spectrum sharing (DSS) and Uplink Booster, as well as the vendor’s August 2020 claim to 100 commercial 5G agreements with unique CSPs.
