The awarding of significant 4G and 5G contracts, which will see Ericsson increase its network share, has cemented the long-standing network collaboration between Ericsson and Indian communications service provider Vodafone Idea (Vi).
Ericsson, which now powers Vi’s network, will roll out 5G and enhance 4G in Indian telecom circles. Furthermore, Ericsson will expand its reach and gain a larger portion of the Vi market by offering 4G and 5G services in the telecom circles of Delhi, Kerala, Chhattisgarh, and Rajasthan.
The two firms’ long-standing relationship has reached a new milestone with this noteworthy development, demonstrating their continued commitment to equipping India with a robust digital infrastructure.
In order to guarantee the greatest possible network performance in the Vi network, Ericsson will implement energy-efficient and lightweight Ericsson Radio System products, such as mid-band Massive MIMO antenna-integrated radios, as part of this contract.
A key component of Vi’s plan to provide top-notch network capabilities and enable quicker, more dependable connectivity to satisfy its customers’ increasing demands is the rollout of 5G.
Akshaya Moondra, CEO, Vi says, “Collaborating with Ericsson will enable Vi to modernize its 4G network and rapidly deploy a world-class 5G network. 5G deployment will enable us to seamlessly manage the growing data traffic on the Vi network, providing secure and reliable connectivity while enhancing the customer experience from the network.”
Jagbir Singh, CTO, Vi says, “Ericsson’s energy-efficient 5G Radio Access Network (RAN) products and solutions from the Ericsson Radio System portfolio will be deployed in the 4G and 5G networks for Vi. All products and solutions are designed to maximize the network performance and benefit of 4G and 5G for our end customers and enterprises in India.”
Andres Vicente, Head of Ericsson’s Market Area in Southeast Asia, Oceania, and India, says, “5G is a critical enabler of digital transformation and economic growth. With Ericsson’s advanced technology, we aim to empower Vi to deliver fast, reliable, and scalable 5G services for its customers.”
Amarjeet Singh, Customer Unit Head, West India, Ericsson, says, “We are delighted to support Vi as it modernizes its 4G network and launches 5G services for its customers in India. With our global 5G deployment experience, we will help Vi seamlessly evolve its network from 4G to 5G.”
