Ericsson was recently selected by AT&T to supply them with 600MHz dual-band radios as the latter works to put newly acquired spectrum from EchoStar to use across its wireless network. It is more than 60% of the way through a broader wireless network modernisation effort. Ericsson was selected through an open, competitive process to supply the 600MHz dual-band radios, which will enable the operator to deploy uplink-enhancing 8RX technology across low-band spectrum for the first time. “We’re more than halfway through our wireless network modernisation, and we’re executing to plan”, said Yigal Elbaz, SVP and Network CTO at AT&T. AT&T said it will share further details on timing and commercial availability of the 600MHz deployment at a later date.
