 On June 7, far EasTone telecommunications announced the signing of a "memorandum of cooperation on 5g network development" with Ericsson to jointly promote 5g to a new stage, including joint research and development of 5g commercial network, 5g stand alone (SA) and non stand alone (NSA) dual-mode core network, volte new voice solutions, AI network automation technology, etc. In addition, far EasTone telecommunications will join Ericsson's 5g innovation project, using "big data + AI + IOT" (big data, artificial intelligence, Internet of things (IOT)) technology, and combining with the energy of international innovation partners, to promote 5g innovative applications in Taiwan, so as to continuously improve network performance and user experience, and become the best digital partner for consumers and enterprise customers, We will accelerate industrial innovation and upgrading in Taiwan.
In this 5g strategic cooperation, far EasTone telecommunications and Ericsson will integrate resources from both sides, starting from four aspects of "application testing", "network intelligent automation", "forward-looking technology evolution" and "ecosystem connection", so as to flexibly respond to the increasingly complex network deployment requirements of new technologies and application scenarios, and release greater 5g potential. In terms of "application testing", we will expand the scope of 5g laboratory cooperation, continue to plan and test 5g forward-looking technology, integrate with existing network testing, and create an innovative platform for displaying application cases In terms of "network intelligent automation", the two sides will jointly set up an AI laboratory to continuously optimize the 5g network automation performance by using AI and machine learning technology, move towards the base station's independent bandwidth resource adjustment and nearly zero contact network maintenance mode, and provide the best user experience in real time.
In terms of "forward-looking technology evolution", the two sides will jointly develop enterprise applications and emerging industry demand technologies, including 5g network slicing, edge computing, enterprise private network and fixed wireless access (FWA) and other new generation network core technologies, so as to promote the digital transformation of Taiwan's industry In the part of ecosystem connection, far EasTone telecommunications will join the Ericsson 5g innovation program, form an alliance with global 5g innovation partners, and use the Ericsson consumer behavior research laboratory to analyze data, so as to promote the landing of multi innovative 5g consumer applications in Taiwan.
"Far EasTone telecommunications and Ericsson have always been 5g partners. This time, we are very happy to deepen the partnership again and share technology and ecosystem resources," said Chee Ching, President of far EasTone telecommunications. Through Ericsson's global leading 5g technology and development strength, combined with far EasTone telecommunication's new economic layout and industrial experience, it will provide consumers and enterprise customers with better 5g network and rich innovative applications, drive Taiwan's industrial innovation and upgrading, and jointly promote 5g to a new generation. "
The construction of far EasTone telecommunication 5g is steady. AI big data analysis is used to select the location of base station, and the operation of "4G / 5G single station adjustment and optimization" is used to maximize the benefits of each 5g base station. Ericsson's exclusive equipment is used for the whole station construction to reduce the complexity of multi vendor network compatibility and improve the comprehensive efficiency of network planning and maintenance; With its award-winning "dynamic 4G / 5G cross frequency sharing" (ESS) and 4G + 5g whole network optimization technology, far EasTone telecommunication has brought its spectrum efficiency into full play, and won the certification of "Taiwan 5g network speed champion" by Speedtest and opensignal, two international authoritative organizations! In the future, far EasTone telecommunications will continue to focus on construction and keep improving to create a world-class 5g high-quality network and innovative applications to benefit consumers and enterprise customers.
