Hi3G, operating as 3 in Denmark has selected Ericsson to modernize its transport network with 5G-ready routers over the next three years.
The new IP Mobile Backhaul transformation project will see the implementation of Router 6000 hardware, software and customer support (part of Ericsson Radio System). This will prepare Hi3G’s network for future 5G requirements, and support the significant increase in the number of connected devices on the network.
The rollout will start during the fall of 2018 and expands Ericsson’s partnership with Hi3G. The Scandinavian communications service provider already has a long experience with Ericsson’s MINI-LINK product portfolio, which shares a common management system with Router 6000 series. This makes the management and deployment of Router 6000 easy and efficient.
The Router 6000 series is a game changer because it responds directly to operators' challenges of exponentially growing data traffic volumes and significant increase in the number of connected devices. It not only addresses operators’ needs for scalability, but also for security and higher operational efficiency.

Arun Bansal, SVP and Head of Ericsson, Europe & Latin America
Hi3G is establishing itself as one of the 5G leaders in the region and we are committed to helping them on this journey by building the highest quality network that provides an outstanding user experience.
