Bharti Airtel chooses Ericsson core for Fixed Wireless Access
The deployment will enhance Airtel core capability and capacity for Fixed Wireless Access, thereby elevating the customer experience for Airtel FWA users
Bharti Airtel and Ericsson have deepened their long-standing relationship with a new agreement to support Bharti Airtel’s rollout of Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) services in India with its core network portfolio. The deployment will enhance Airtel core capability and capacity for Fixed Wireless Access, thereby elevating the customer experience for Airtel FWA users.
As part of this agreement, Ericsson is introducing a new platform which will support higher capacity with a smaller footprint and better total cost of ownership. The solution builds on the previously announced dual-mode 5G Core solution deal between Ericsson and Airtel for 5G packet core which created a unified and future-ready network infrastructure, underpinning Airtel’s journey to 5G Standalone (SA).
Bharti Airtel is a leading integrated telecommunications company with operations across Asia and Africa.
