Swedish telecommunications company, Ericsson, recently launched its Enterprise 5G strategy, aiming to provide enhanced connectivity in operational and public-facing enterprises.
By leveraging private 5G and neutral host 5G solutions, the strategy allows carpeted and industrial enterprises to accelerate innovation, safety, and operational efficiencies.
Manish Tiwari, Ericsson’s Head of Private Cellular Networks, Enterprise Wireless Solutions, underscored, “As enterprises continue to increase automation, improve safety, and invest in seamless connectivity to meet end-user expectations, existing technologies such as Wi-Fi and Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) often fall short due to technical limitations, cost, and complexity.”
Furthermore, Tiwari highlighted that the Enterprise 5G Portfolio addresses requirements by leveraging Ericsson’s best-in-class radio, software, and managed operations capabilities to enable flexible enterprise solutions.

Enterprise 5G Portfolio Solutions
The following innovative solutions comprise Ericsson’s latest Enterprise 5G Portfolio:
- Ericsson Private 5G: A converged 4G/5G private cellular solution with industry and licensed spectrum support, offering flexible deployment models and best-in-class coverage, mobility, security, and latency.
- Ericsson Private 5G Compact: A U.S. CBRS-based offering designed for enterprises that need robust connectivity in environments where Wi-Fi falls short, leveraging a simplified radio architecture (previously branded as Cradlepoint NetCloud Private Networks).
- Ericsson Enterprise 5G Coverage: A best-in-class neutral host solution, currently certified by all major U.S. carriers, that offers a simplified and scalable architecture compared to legacy DAS, resulting in attractive total cost of ownership (TCO) for enterprises.
The project utilizes the Ericsson radio access network (RAN) portfolio, featuring the Radio Dot System for indoor deployments and small cell radios for outdoor use. By adopting simplified subscription-based packaging with optional services and feature add-ons, acquisition costs are minimized.
Moreover, the telecommunications giant redirected its emphasis towards pre- and post-sales support, which includes vertical expertise and channel partner training. This strategic focus drives enterprises to prioritize innovation and business outcomes.
