Ericsson has been selected by Epic Malta as their exclusive 5G radio access network (RAN) provider, bringing the wide-reaching benefits of 5G to Malta.
As part of the new partnership, Epic will use Ericsson’s technology leadership to fully modernize their existing network.
RAN products and solutions from the Ericsson Radio System portfolio, including Ericsson Spectrum Sharing and Ericsson Antenna System will be deployed in Epic’s network as part of a smooth, fast, and cost-effective shift to 5G that will accelerate the digital transformation of Maltese society.
Ericsson RAN portfolio also includes Massive MIMO technology, which enables communication service providers to capitalize on mid-band 5G spectrum. And with a unique approach to energy optimization, Ericsson's radios and basebands will also improve the carbon footprint of Epic’s current network, contributing to significant energy savings.
