T-Systems and Ericsson Launch Joint
Campus Network Initiative
- Partnership aims to contribute new ways to accelerate
5G campus network roll-out worldwide
- Integrated packages are available with Edge Computing
solutions from T-Systems and Campus Network solutions from Ericsson
- Enterprises are showing more interest than ever in
campus networks
T-Systems
and Ericsson have combined their expertise to offer a fully integrated set of
campus network solutions, which the two companies will make available to
partners worldwide.
By forging a partnership based on
Ericsson’s Campus Network infrastructure and T-Systems’ Edge Computing
capabilities, the two tech giants aim to deliver an integrated End-to-End
solution that gives customers a high-quality, seamless service.
We are in the age of things.
Systems, sensors and algorithms produce and consume vast amounts of data. The
interest in 5G-based campus networks is growing rapidly, as
enterprises increasingly require connectivity solutions with high throughput
and low latency that do not compromise on security. A campus network based on
the 5G standard is ideal to fulfil this new set of digitization requirements
high performance, security, reliability. Algorithms and Artificial Intelligence
transform data into decisions. Dynamic and flexible processes require relevant
information made available reliably anywhere and anytime.
The
best of both companies
Based in the already existing
agreement between both companies, which is focusing on the German market, the
new partnership will now be extended on an international level. As part of the
partnership, the two global companies intend to leverage their footprint and
offer joint solutions to the industrial sector on a large scale.
The partners combine best of two
worlds. Ericsson´s technology as the leading provider of campus network
infrastructure on the one hand. T-System´s edge computing solutions and additional
services from T-Systems, based on the highly scalable EdgAir Computing Platform
ranging from embedded Systems to high available and massively scalable Frame
solutions on the other.
Unlocking
new business models
With this high degree of
integration, customers of the partners are able to control and manage their 4G and 5G networks according to individual
requirements of their business processes and to react quickly to exceptions.
This assures bandwidth and prioritized data traffic for the private network in
case of excessive load and of critical situations.
This integrated campus solution with
its capabilities to deliver low latency, high volume on-site data processing
and high data security enable new innovative use cases, efficiency improvements
and cost reductions as the basis for new, digitalized business models.
Solutions
with scalability
Arun Bansal, Ericsson Executive Vice
President and Head of Market Area Europe and Latin America, said: “Enterprise
is looking to take advantage of the high level of coverage and capacity of
private networks, for future-proof solutions. Alongside our long-term partners
T-Systems, Ericsson is powering the next generation of disruptors and innovators,
with a customer centred approach and decades of industry-leading experience.”
Adel Al-Saleh, member of the
Deutsche Telekom Board of Management and CEO T-Systems commented: “As
enterprises look to scale up their digitalization and automation, working together
with Ericsson enables us to meet global business needs quickly and securely. We
can bring this technology to more customers in a way that is seamless, managed
end-to-end, and scalable as customer needs evolve. We’re looking forward to
seeing continued success in the marketplace thanks to this close
collaboration.”
