Through a major partnership with Ericsson (ERIC), Telstra is set to become the first in the Asia-Pacific region to leverage a high-performing, programmable network with 5G Advanced capabilities.
Under the four-year deal, Telstra will upgrade its radio access network (RAN) with Ericsson's next-generation Open RAN-ready hardware solutions and 5G Advanced software. It will also implement AI and automation to optimize network management through self-detection and self-healing capabilities.
Further, the company will open the network to tech innovators from wider ecosystems via network APIs or Application Programming Interfaces.
