The rollout of Ericsson's Cloud RAN technology for Telstra's commercial 5G network is the first deployment in Australia and marks a major milestone in Telstra's ability to deliver next generation 5G services to customers around the country. As part of this deployment, Telstra and Ericsson have migrated two carrier frequencies 2600MHz and 3600MHz to the Cloud RAN infrastructure. The first sites to receive the newest capabilities delivering 5G are located on the Gold Coast, Queensland. This is the next step in the ongoing collaboration between Telstra and Ericsson to realise the benefits of Cloud RAN. As a result, Telstra can now take advantage of the dynamic scalability, increased flexibility, capacity and faster delivery of services that Ericsson's Cloud RAN infrastructure offers. Virtualisation of this part of the network is the last piece in the full automation and orchestration capabilities of the end-to-end network at scale.
