XL Axiata has partnered with Ericsson to deploy its dual-mode 5G core solution.

Ericsson’s dual-mode 5G core will bring XL Axiata’s 4G and 5G services together in a single, fully integrated, container-based and cloud-native core network. This technology will first be deployed for new sites in East Java to cater to the growing data traffic in that region.

Based on the aggregation and expansion of 4G capabilities, along with the addition of 5G services in accordance with XL Axiata’s operational and business needs, the new solution will bring with it significant improvements in performance. It will future-proof the network and lead to a reduction in costs associated with the core network as it rolls out new connectivity and services to subscribers.

Dual-mode 5G core solution takes advantage of cloud-native architecture to ensure XL Axiata has access to the latest software updates and features and can upgrade, as needed, when bringing new services to market.
