Ericsson and Verizon are paving the way for secure, mobile critical communications response services in the form of mobile on-site networks and 'networks on wheels'. We explore what's happening in the THOR project with Blaze Vincent from Ericsson and Carlo Thompson from Verizon. The THOR (Tactical Humanitarian Operations Response) project is a rapidly deployable emergency response network solution, with 4G and 5G capabilities, as well as microwave and satellite links. These vehicles provide the communications that are needed in emergencies and allow other technologies to connect, in order to extract data and implement communication solutions quickly.

Episode 79 - 5G-connected disaster response vehicle

Ericsson Mobility Report, November 2022 edition, is just out - and we're joined by Peter Jonsson, executive editor for the report, and Ove Persson, director of energy performance, to discuss the latest 5G numbers and energy efficiency, which is covered by 2 articles in the report. Exactly how fast is 5G is growing worldwide? How many 5G subscriptions, 5G subscribers? What's the population coverage? We also dive into the important topic of network energy efficiency. The challenge is that more data means more energy is needed and finding new ways to reduce energy consumption is key, such as modernization and automation - service provider e& in UAE is working towards their own sustainability goals.
