Ericsson has become a technology partner of MTS Startup Hub in Nizhny Novgorod. The Center has deployed a Private Networks solution (dedicated network), a compact system consisting of a network core (Enterprise Core), a control subsystem, as well as a data transmission subsystem and a radio access subsystem (RAN). The network core components are virtual network functions similar to those used on telecom operators’ networks with a high degree of reliability. Networking functions are deployed in a cloud environment from Ericsson - Cloud Execution Environment (CEE). Radio coverage is provided by the latest equipment from the Erisson Radio System line for 5G in the 4900 MHz and 1800 MHz bands (products AIR 6449, Baseband 6630, Radio 2203). This end-to-end solution from Ericsson provides high mobility and allows you to quickly deploy a private network across the enterprise for a wide range of tasks.MTS PJSC opens a representative office of MTS StartUp Hub in Nizhny Novgorod, a Center for innovation and investment.
