AI can enhance 5G network performance by 30%: Ericsson CTO
Mumbai: Telecom operators can improve the performance of their existing 5G networks by 25-30% using artificial intelligence (AI), without necessarily investing in additional hardware, according to Swedish telecom equipment maker Ericsson. This offers a potentially cost-effective upgrade path for operators such as Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel as they prepare for the transition to 6G.
A large proportion of the equipment Ericsson supplied in 2025 and 2026 is already capable of supporting AI features, Ericsson chief technology officer Erik Ekudden told ET.
