(MENAFN- Khaleej Times) Etisalat Group and Ericsson have entered a strategic partnership to develop the next generation of mobile technology - 5G.
The two companies will exchange knowledge, share pioneering solutions and tap into the potential of 5G technology, which will help deliver the future Networked Society.
Abu Dhabi-based telecom firm announced last year that it was aiming to be the first company in the region to roll out 5G in the coming years and has already demonstrated 115Gbps data transmission rate capability as part of the development of 5G. The technology will be vital to support the growing demand for data required by customers. The partnership will also tap into the potential of the 450Mbps LTE speed that can be accomplished thanks to its License Assisted Access (LAA) technology. LAA will help to improve mobile data speeds and reduce congestion, benefiting all wireless network users, and spearheads the journey to 5G.
Hatem Bamatraf, chief technology officer, Etisalat Group said: "Etisalat is at the forefront of technological development. Our belief in mobile broadband and dedication to innovation drives us to be the first telco to roll out 5G. Partnership is essential to bringing 5G to the market and, through our collaboration with Ericsson, we hope to gain a deeper understanding of the full potential of 5G, and subsequently, accelerate the transition to a Networked Society."
