Ericsson to boost network performance in KSA

With neutral host solutions and multi-operator sharing, communications service providers (CSPs) can cost effectively expand coverage in iconic locations across the Kingdom with 5G indoor networks.

Ericsson, in partnership with Solutions by STC, a digital enabler in Saudi Arabia, has collaborated with Advanced Communications and Electronics Systems (ACES), an international neutral host provider, to deliver a neutral host solution at King Saud University (KSU) Stadium (Marsool Park) in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

As part of a neutral host provider model, and with the support of Ericsson Indoor Connect, communications service providers (CSPs) will be able to roll out indoor 5G solutions at a faster rate for their subscribers, thereby providing high-performing 5G to all users by sharing the same infrastructure.
