Ericsson has launched its Ottawa-developed Indoor Fusion 8828 5G solution, a compact 5G indoor solution that seamlessly combines radio and baseband functionalities into one unit, providing enhanced indoor wireless connectivity.
“5G connectivity has the power to radically transform businesses and improve the lives of both employees and customers,” says Jeanette Irekvist, President, Ericsson Canada. “We are proud to bring our innovative 5G solutions to Canadian businesses of all sectors and sizes. We look forward to providing reliable, quick and game-changing coverage to customers across a wide variety of indoor spaces.”
The Indoor Fusion 8828 is a compact, plug-and-play 5G solution aimed at businesses in small and medium-sized buildings, like coffee shops, chain stores, movie theatres, restaurants, and more. It supports up to four Radio Dots, delivering multi-Gbps speeds, and delivers reliable 5G connectivity for smaller locations.
Bell will be a global pioneer in implementing Ericsson’s Indoor 5G solutions.
“We are committed to meeting the needs of our business clients and providing them with a great experience through state-of-the-art technologies,” says Mark McDonald, Executive Vice President & Chief Technology Officer at Bell. “As the first to implement Ericsson’s innovative 5G in-building technology, we’re excited to break new ground, while enhancing operations and connectivity for businesses, to improve the daily experience for its employees and customers alike.”
The Fusion 8828 was designed in Ottawa by the Ericsson Radio team in 2023. Fusion uses Ericsson’s extensive RAN and RDS assets to create a fully featured solution for small venues that works seamlessly with the rest of Ericsson’s portfolio.
