The Swedish telecommunications company Ericsson has expanded its indoor 5G portfolio. The new offerings by the company are Ericsson Indoor AIR 1279 and Ericsson Radio Dot 4459 small-cell radio. Both the products will cover the US market and Ericsson Indoor Connect, which supports multi-operator and multi-vendor scenarios will increase the 5G connectivity. Jessy Huang, who is the Head of Ericsson’s Indoor Product Line, marked that the quality of 5G service in indoor areas holds equal importance as compared to outdoor connections. To ensure proper connectivity, Ericsson is expanding the 5G indoor portfolio and making it the simplest and most flexible product. Since the 5G footprint is expanding around the globe, Mid-band and millimetre Wave (mmWave) spectrum is effective for providing ultra-fast speeds and a low latency network.

The Ericsson Indoor AIR 1279 is designed to offer beamforming capabilities and advance software features. Also, it will minimise the need for new cabling to reduce site footprint and total cost ownership (TCO).

Along with Indoor AIR 1279 and Radio Dot 4459, Ericsson has also launched Indoor Connect, a multi-operator and multi-vendor mobile solution in which the Radio Dot System developed by Ericsson enables multiple CSPs to deliver 5G indoors on sub-6 GHz bands.
