Dutch communications service provider KPN has selected Ericsson as its mobile core network vendor, the latter said in a release.
Under the five-year agreement, Ericsson will deploy dual-mode 5G Core software with full support services, including an accompanying systems integration program with third-line support services.
Ericsson noted that its 5G Core will upgrade KPN’s existing 2G/3G/4G packet core and signaling technology and enable the Dutch telco to deploy its first standalone 5G network.
