Ericsson announced that it delivered 5G network equipment for a new pilot network that was launched in the city of Helsingør, Denmark. Local partners and municipal customers have been granted access to test new services on the 5G network.

The pilot network went live during a joint Ericsson-TDC in event in Helsingør that featured multiple 5G demonstrations including an immersive gaming experience.

The network is built using Ericsson’s commercial 5G hardware and software, including Massive MIMO radio (AIR 6488) from Ericsson Radio System, and represents an important milestone in Denmark’s journey towards commercial 5G and global Industry 4.0 opportunities.

In March 2019, Ericsson was chosen by TDC for the rollout of commercial 5G (including managed services) as part of a major network overhaul. Today, the 5G pilot network is successfully underway in its trial phase, operating on a 3.5 GHz test license.

Arun Bansal, President of Europe and Latin America, Ericsson
Ericsson is leading the way on 5G in Europe, so we are pleased to work with partners such as TDC to ensure that their customers in turn also benefit from that leadership and expertise.

Andreas Pfisterer, CEO, TDC NET
I am truly excited that TDC, together with Ericsson, is building 5G infrastructure to enable a digital Denmark with the best wireless network.
