Case Study: Telstra achieves superior 4G network performance with Ericsson LTE 1800 MHz solution

Telstra - Customer Case Study

Telstra, Australia’s market-leading telecommunications company, needed to keep up with insatiable demand for high-speed mobile broadband while maintaining its unmatched network coverage and ensuring a smooth migration as it re-farmed spectrum. Ericsson supported Telstra’s expansion with LTE 1800 MHz radio equipment and a multi-access Evolved Packet Core, helping deliver the performance and capacity needed for growing smartphone and data traffic.

Ericsson implemented a complete solution including multi-standard RBS 6000 base stations, triple-access EPC, SGSN-MME Pool, Evolved Packet Gateway on the SSR 8020, plus OSS management and services for rollout, design, optimization, and spectrum re-farming. The result was a 40% reduction in network nodes, 100% availability, and stronger network performance, with Telstra reporting 15% revenue growth and 35% EBITDA growth over two years.
