Ericsson and Etihad Etisalat (Mobily) have extended their managed services agreement for a further three years to use next-generation Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) for autonomous operations.

A December 30, 2019 agreement, signed at Mobily’s Riyadh headquarters, covers the deployment of Ericsson products and solutions spanning transport, core, charging and billing and radio access –  including 5G products from the Ericsson Radio System portfolio.

Ericsson supplied Mobily with a standalone end-to-end 5G system, including a prototype 3.5GHz radio, baseband, and prototype UE device for the 5G demo, which showcased 5G throughput, targeting speeds of up to 1Gbps.
