Niklas Heuveldop, President and Head of Ericsson North America, says:
"We have recently decided to increase our investments in the US to be closer to our leading customers and better support them with their accelerated 5G deployments; thereby bringing 5G to life for consumers and enterprises across the country.

5G promises to deliver very high data speeds, extreme low latency, ultra-high reliability, energy efficiency and extreme device densities, which will be realized by the development of LTE in combination with new radio-access technologies.
 |
We have strengthened our Ericsson Radio System portfolio with a host of new radio products supporting Massive MIMO technology to enable the smooth evolution from 4G to 5G.
We have also added a new category of radio products called Street Macro – a new site type that addresses the need of operators to grow in dense urban locations when available radio locations are limited.
