Yahoo Finance Ericsson (ERIC), BT Collaborate to Boost Private 5G Networks
Ericsson ERIC and BT have inked a multi-million-dollar agreement to offer private 5G networks to companies in the U.K. market by investing heavily in next-generation infrastructure.
Per the agreement, the companies will offer 5G private solutions to businesses and enterprises across the U.K. These private networks have the potential to offer secure and higher-quality connections with lower latency and glitches compared with the conventional Wi-Fi networks.

The agreement with Ericsson will enable BT to grow sales of next-generation mobile network technology products to businesses and organizations in sectors such as education, healthcare and logistics.

As a result of the private 5G network, new innovative applications and IoT can be used to improve productivity and business operations, and increase cost savings via real-time data sharing, automation and robotics.
Ericsson is well-positioned to cash in on the market momentum with its competitive 5G product portfolio. The company continues to execute its strategy to become a leading mobile infrastructure provider and establish a focused enterprise business. Investments in research and development have established it as one of the leading providers of 5G communications equipment.
