Ericsson announced that it would launch the world’s first commercial 5G New Radio (NR) incorporating multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) technology and multi-user MIMO, with the first deployments coming in 2017. Together with the Ericsson 5G Plug-Ins announced in June this year and its commercially available Radio System Baseband 5216 — which as of now powers Ericsson’s award-winning Radio Test Bed — the company is first to deliver all components of a 5G access network, it said in a statement. Back in June Ericsson launched 5G plug-ins to address diverse 5G use cases from mobile HD video, driverless buses and haptic feedback-enabled drones to fiber-equivalent residential wireless access.
Commenting on the announcement Arun Bansal, Head of Business Unit Network Products, Ericsson said “We are introducing the new hardware that 5G Plug-Ins will run on so that the first operators can start to deploy 5G infrastructure. We are also launching innovations that improve both the performance and efficiency of today’s networks using concepts that will evolve into 5G” . The “AIR 6468″ 5G radio combines advanced antennas with a large number of steerable ports to enable 5G technologies of beamforming, Massive MIMO and multi-user MIMO.d Verizon, Korean SK Telecom and Japan’s NTT Docomo.
