On February 6, Ericsson Far EasTone (FET) and OPPO validated performance-based 5G SA network slicing, confirming support for connectivity models designed to monetize 5G infrastructure beyond standard fees. Earlier the same day, Ericsson signed an agreement in Kyiv with lifecell to upgrade its network core and prepare it for 5G deployment. This project transitions lifecell to a cloud-native network core architecture using Ericsson's Packet Core and modern User Data Management systems. Previously on February 6, Ericsson detailed its work with Far EasTone and OPPO, pledging to demonstrate fresh business models unlocked by their standalone (SA) 5G trials at MWC Barcelona 2026. The trio linked network technology with compatible applications and devices to highlight potential new B2B2C business models. This work followed their February 6 demonstration of an AI-driven 5G standalone ecosystem, validated on Far EasTone’s live 5G SA network. This collaboration integrated programmable networks, application-level slicing via URSP, and on-device AI to enable performance-based differentiated connectivity, which was proven in a large-scale real-world environment at a 40,000-person concert at Taipei Dome, allowing on-demand in-app connectivity upgrades with guaranteed performance under extreme traffic conditions.
