2degrees and Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) today announced a project to replace large parts of 2degrees' existing microwave network infrastructure with state-of-the-art Ericsson MINI-LINK products.
This upgrade is part of 2degrees' ongoing network modernisation programme, enhancing its network capabilities to provide world-class networks and service to its customers.
The first four microwave links have been successfully completed, with hundreds more proposed over the project timeline.
Ericsson will progressively replace and expand 2degrees' existing microwave network technology with Ericsson's MINI-LINK 6000 microwave solution across sites as part of its network lifecycle refresh.
Microwave technology is a key enabler for building timely and cost-effective mobile coverage and capacity, delivering speeds and latency comparable to fibre.
Ericsson's MINI-LINK portfolio is the market-leading microwave family for cost-efficient mobile transport networks. It includes both split mount and all outdoor short haul as well as long haul solutions covering the complete microwave spectrum from 5GHz up to 80GHz. This provides unparalleled flexibility and scalability for all deployment scenarios.
The agreement expands on Ericsson's ongoing partnership with 2degrees to modernise the telecommunications provider's Radio Access Network with products and solutions from the Ericsson Radio System portfolio, delivering better experiences and services to consumer and business customers throughout
