ZAGREB (Croatia), August 26 (SeeNews) – A1 Telekom Austria Group has selected Swedish technology giant Ericsson as partner in the launch of its 5G network in Croatia, the group's Croatian unit A1 Hrvatska said on Thursday.
“In Croatia Ericsson is responsible for both radio and core 5G network,” A1 Hrvatska said in a statement.
Following a recently signed deal for transformation of 5G access radio network, A1 continues cooperation with Ericsson on implementation of convergent 5G core solution, it added.
The two companies have been strategic partners for 22 years now, since A1 entered the Croatian market.
