Telstra and Ericsson Join together to drive 5G

Ericsson and Telstra (Australia) today announce their agreement to join forces and collaborate on the development of 5G standards and technologies. Telstra is a leading mobile broadband operator. An early adopter of LTE (launched September 2011), Telstra works with its network partner Ericsson to deliver ongoing network innovation, most recently with LTE-Advanced.

Building on the successful partnership between Telstra and Ericsson, the 5G collaboration will ensure that evolving industry standards and Ericsson’s 5G solutions reflect the needs of advanced mobile network operators. Telstra will run a 5G field trial in Australia which will include opportunities for Telstra’s industry partners and customers to experience the potential of 5G.
