Ericsson has entered two more 5G research collaborations as it seeks to ready the technology for commercialization in 2020.

Ericsson will work with King's College London and Technische Universität Dresden (TU Dresden) on research addressing the technical implications and societal challenges of implementing 5G technology.

“The collaboration with King's College London and TU Dresden will accelerate the momentum around smart sustainable cities, the Internet of Things and evolved industries powered by 5G in UK and Germany,” Ericsson head of region Western and Central Europe Valter D'Avino said.

“They underscore Ericsson's ongoing commitment to innovate in Europe and develop 5G with relevant partners as the basis of a networked society and of digitized economies in the next decades.”

For Ericsson, these are the latest in a series of collaborative agreements covering 5G R&D, including a deal with SingTel to help test technology candidates for inclusion into 5G standards, one with IBM to jointly develop dense 5G antennas and one with Telstra to co-develop 5G technologies.

Ericsson is also a driving force in the 5G Infrastructure Public-Private Partnership (5G PPP) and leading the EU project METIS (Mobile and wireless communications Enablers for Twenty-twenty (2020) Information Society).
