Ericsson, Intel team up on 5G use cases development for enterprises in Thailand

Swedish telecom gear maker Ericsson and Intel have collaborated on the development of 5G use cases to drive digitalisation of enterprises in Thailand.

“Intel and Ericsson will collaborate on their respective technology expertise to show how communications service providers (CSPs) can accelerate 5G adoption and expand their business-to-business (B2B) engagements based on 5G use-cases,” said the companies in a statement Thursday.

Ericsson and Intel will jointly develop enterprise use cases in select verticals such as manufacturing, transport, and logistics.

“Both Ericsson and Intel are committed to enabling the Thailand Industry 4.0 vision through 5G technology,” said the companies.

“We will leverage our global 5G experience and collaborations with Intel to the benefit of CSPs in Thailand, with resilient network performance, scalability, simplicity, and security as a primary focus,” said Igor Maurell, Head of Ericsson Thailand.

“Through this collaboration, we will help enable Thailand’s 5G infrastructure with innovative edge services – powered by Ericsson and Intel technologies – to help local enterprises transform and accelerate their businesses through digital solutions,” said Thomas Sennhauser, CTO for Communications Business, Asia Pacific Japan region, Intel Corporation.

Sennhauser added that the companies aim to support the CSPs in Thailand to meet their energy efficiency and sustainability goals as the telecoms industry embraces virtualised RAN and distributed architectures.
