Case Study: Rogers Communications achieves Canada’s first nationwide 5G standalone network with Ericsson

Ericsson and Rogers deploy 5G standalone network services

Rogers Communications, Canada's largest wireless carrier, sought to be the first to launch a national 5G standalone (SA) network to meet future customer demands and build a cloud-native foundation for next-generation services. Their challenge was to deploy this network to offer unprecedented flexibility and set the base for advanced capabilities like network slicing. They partnered with vendor Ericsson to achieve this transformation.

Ericsson implemented a solution using its dual-mode 5G Core, cloud infrastructure, and orchestration tools. This resulted in Rogers successfully deploying Canada’s first nationwide 5G standalone network, which is highly capable and reliable. The new network expanded Rogers' service portfolio, reinforced its position as a digitalization leader, and provided the means to empower enterprise customers to develop new use cases and applications that will have a profound impact on the economy.
