Telia, Ericsson and the KTH Royal Institute of Technology join forces to boost the development of 5G in Sweden.
In a new agreement, Telia and KTH will build an environment at KTH in which 5G networks can be tested and developed. Together with Ericsson as a technology partner, Telia will also work with different industry players to create a uniquely innovative arena.
The idea behind the cooperation is that the expansion of the 5G network will drive the entire digitalization of society. 5G plays a key role in rolling out technologies like, for example, IoT and connected cars, said Telia.
The new cooperation is part of the Digital Demo Stockholm initiative that drives improvements for a smarter city by means of digital solutions.

Joakim Sorelius, Head of Development Unit Networks, Ericsson
