Ericsson To Introduce 5G Networks With Airtel In India By 2020

As another year’s end approaches the telcom giants seem to be stirring the industry with the news of the network of the future that will arm our AI and Self driving cars. The 5G network infrastructure is next in the line of generations of the networks to facilitate almost everything today because our lives have been virtually transferred on the smartphones and computers.

There is a tight competition amongst Telecommunication companies to apply for the patent of the technology infrastructure. Any company who is in control of the whole 5G spectrum is winning the big leagues here, so from DT to Huawei everyone is rushing to improve their inventions in order to land some deals in their influenced markets.

Qualcomm plans to make its early 5G products available to the public as soon as the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea.
