Ericsson has partnered with Telus to launch and optimize its 5G standalone (5G SA) network from coast-to-coast. Leveraging Ericsson's 5G Core technologies, delivered through the cloud-native Ericsson dual-mode 5G Core solution, the 5G SA network enables TELUS to bring customers the most advanced 5G services with functionalities like ultra-low latency and even faster speeds. Ericsson's technology is built to support 5G - designed to scale for the future and support a massive number of connected devices.

A 5G SA network offers reduced latency, improved efficiency, optimized spectrum utilization and enhanced reliability. This technology will not only transform how Canadians use their connected devices, but also open the door to a wider array of applications for consumers, IoT applications, enterprises and public safety. Its capabilities also pave the way for innovations like connected cars, cloud gaming and virtual and augmented reality.
