Bharti Airtel Chooses Ericsson Core for Fixed Wireless Access

Bharti Airtel and Ericsson have deepened their long-standing relationship with a new agreement to support Bharti Airtel’s rollout of Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) services in India. The deployment will enhance Airtel core capability and capacity for Fixed Wire- less Access, thereby elevating the customer experience for Airtel FWA users. As part of this agreement, Ericsson is introducing a new platform which will support higher capacity with a smaller footprint and better total cost of ownership. The solution builds on the previously announced dual-mode 5G Core solution deal between Ericsson and Airtel for 5G packet core.
