Whichever G your interested, curious or impressed by the answer is #Finland. For a snapshot about the #telecoms competencies and #solutions please read the short blogpost that Jöns Tuomaranta wrote. It catches much of what you need to know although the focus is rightfully on #6G #businessfinland #6GBridge #ecosystems

🕸️ As a global hub for #6G innovation, Finland is defining how this next wave of connectivity will make our societies more resilient. 💡 “What really sets us apart is the ability to cover the entire chain – from radio technologies and network infrastructure to semiconductors and handsets. We have a powerful R&D ecosystem, innovative companies and supportive government funding. It’s a rare combination that makes it easy for international companies to come here and develop their business in this space,” says our Senior Advisor Jöns Tuomaranta. 💡 Finland is already laying the groundwork for the forthcoming 6G era of wireless communications. “6G technology holds immense potential for strengthening digital resilience against f.ex. natural disasters,” explains Pekka Rantala, Head of 6G Bridge Program at Business Finland.

#6G is emerging and already in this phase, various companies are already working on related future technologies. That's why Business Finland has a related program, pulling the ecosystem together. Finland is leading the #6G game. If you want to join in, let's talk.

With 5G maturing, many in the industry are considering what is the next development. Huawei is betting big on 5.5G, unveiling major advancements at MWC 2024. But is this a real leap forward, or just marketing hype? Huawei's focus is on blazing-fast speeds, lower energy consumption, and easier deployment. If they can deliver, 5.5G could be a major upgrade, potentially addressing key challenges in current 5G rollouts in areas like the Middle East, Asia and of course China itself. What does this mean for the industry? Huawei's innovations could lead to faster, more reliable, more energy-efficient networks. For businesses and consumers, that could mean new applications, enhanced connectivity, and a smoother overall experience. Is 5.5G the future? It's too early to say, but Huawei's determination and technology leadership are certainly shaking things up. My colleague Jordan Cox provides an in-depth analysis of Huawei's 5.5G development in his latest CCS Insight blog post, read it here: https://lnkd.in/eMmP3ybM #5G #connectivity #huawei #5Gdevelopment

Latest developments in global 5G-A industry - Chapter 1 With the large-scale commercialization of 5G networks around the world, the industry has begun research and exploration on the next stage of 5G technology evolution. 3GPP launched relevant standard research in the R18 version, marking that global 5G development has entered a new stage of 5G-A (5G-Advanced). 5G-A will be significantly improved over 5G in terms of peak speed, connection density, positioning accuracy and bit energy efficiency, and will lay a good foundation for 6G network deployment. Some countries and regions, represented by Asia, are accelerating 5G-A technology pilots and network deployment, and it is expected that 2024 will be the first year of global 5G-A commercialization. 01 Policy progress in major countries and regions around the world The United States has released a national spectrum strategy and implementation plan. In November 2023, the United States released the National Spectrum Strategy, announcing the release of a total of 2786MHz of wireless spectrum to meet domestic wireless needs. Among them, the 7.125GHz-8.4GHz spectrum will be used for wireless broadband. In March 2024, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) released the "National Spectrum Strategy Implementation Plan" and formulated a timetable for the completion of spectrum work. In December 2023, US President Biden signed the "5G Spectrum Administration License Enforcement (Sales) Act", granting the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) a one-time temporary authorization to issue licenses to ensure 5G coverage in rural areas of the United States. Spectrum policy provides guarantee for expanding 5G coverage and upgrading to 5G-A. South Korea has identified 5G-A as a national key technology. In December 2022, the South Korean government released 12 national strategic technologies that "must be ensured in the competition for technological hegemony". One of the key strategic technologies is "next generation communications" technology, including 5G-A, 6G, Open RAN, 5G/ 6G communication components and 5G/6G satellite communications. The Middle East has taken the lead in proposing the goal of building a 10G network city. Saudi Arabia proposed as early as 2016 in its "Vision 2030" transformation goals that 10 Gigabit networks will be built in the top five cities in Saudi Arabia by 2025. In 2022, the United Arab Emirates Telecommunications Authority released the "White Paper on the Role of 5G in the Industrial Digitalization of the United Arab Emirates" proposing that in 2026, the United Arab Emirates plans to build a high-quality network with an edge rate of Gbit/s. Many countries in the Middle East have released active spectrum policies. It is expected that 15 new spectrums will be released in the region in the next three years, and millimeter wave spectrum will be released in 2025. 10 Gigabit network and millimeter wave are typical factors promoting the development of 5G-A

Liquid Intelligent Technologies, a leading communications solutions provider, has entered into a strategic alliance with Globalstar, a company at the forefront of satellite technology, to enhance 5G connectivity across Africa, the Middle East, and the Gulf region. Through this partnership, Liquid is granted the exclusive rights to market and distribute Globalstar’s cutting-edge XCOM RAN private networks 5G access solution in these territories. The term ‘5G’ often gets tossed around as a tech buzzword, and ‘AI’ has become a catchphrase for modern innovation. However, this collaboration between Liquid and Globalstar transcends the typical hype surrounding such terms. It’s a significant development that promises to deliver essential connectivity services where they are most needed. Exploring the Capabilities of XCOM RAN Technology Delving into the specifics of XCOM RAN, the acronym stands for Xtra Capacity Outdoor Mobile Radio Access Network. To put it in layman’s terms, imagine it as an extremely powerful Wi-Fi router that doesn’t just connect you to the internet—it creates a dedicated, private network. This network is reserved for a specific user group, ensuring that these users have exclusive access to the network’s full bandwidth capacity without any external interference or congestion.

Traditional telcos and Big Tech activities in the connectivity field are becoming closer, blurring the lines between their traditional roles. While this presents huge potential benefits in terms of cooperation, innovation and costs, if not managed correctly, it could also put EU’s economic security at risk.

Technological change these days happens at enormous speed and companies who are at forefront of innovation keep changing (appearing and disappearing). Ericsson will soon celebrate 150 years since foundation, but this year we are celebrating another milestone - 100 years of Ericsson Technology Review - publication of our magazine dedicated to Telecommunications related technologies. You can read the Centennial Edition of this magazine below and get yourself prepared for future technologies in Telecommunication Networks. #5G #6G #EricssonReview #TeamEricsson
