Belgium prepares for 5G with new Ericsson-Telenet RAN partnership
Telenet's customers will benefit from technologies whose full potential will be unleashed with the rollout of 5G, such as AR, VR, and IoT applications.
Micha Berger , CTIO Telenet, says: "We are on the eve of a next step in our technological evolution. 5G is so much more than a radio technology system - it is the engine for innovation and opportunities for other ways of working, automation and analysis. But as with any next generation it all starts with developing a high-performance network. Choosing the right suppliers and partners is crucial. I am therefore pleased to be able to partner with Ericsson to roll out a future-proof mobile network in Belgium that will provide all our residential and professional customers with the best possible user experience. This partnership and cooperation between parties is unique and will keep us at the heart of innovation with cutting edge technology."
According to a 2021 Analysys Mason report exploring the costs and benefits of 5G geographical coverage in Europe , there is potential EUR 250 billion benefit for European GDP through a full rollout of 5G.
Franck Bouetard, Head of Ericsson Belgium, Luxemburg , France , Algeria and Tunisia , says: "5G plays a critical role for Belgium to meet its digital ambitions and boost economic recovery, and Ericsson is ready to deploy quickly with our leading 5G portfolio. After years of successful collaboration with Telenet, we are pleased to strengthen our relationship, which will see the delivery of high performing, energy-efficient and secure 5G to Telenet's customers across the country. I am very pleased that we are working together to realize the expansive benefits of 5G and investing in Belgium , and in Europe ."
