Ericsson and e Egypt have extended their long-standing partnership through a four-year agreement focused on modernizing and expanding e Egypt's network to enhance 5G readiness through an ambitious cloud-native transformation program. The expansion will lead to enhanced user experiences by introducing new services and accelerate the adoption of Voice over LTE VoLTE at e Egypt.
It provides enhancements to e Egypt's data management capabilities through the migration from Unified Data Consolidation UDC network function to cloud-native Unified Data Management UDM. The agreement will additionally deliver upgrades to key core network applications including the IP Multimedia Subsystem IMS for enriched communication services, Ericsson Dynamic Activation EDA and Service-Aware Policy Controller SAPC for streamlining processes and optimized Quality of Service QoS.
As part of the agreement, Ericsson will also upgrade the network infrastructure supporting the core network, deploying bare metal Cloud Native Infrastructure Solution CNIS and Network Functions Virtualization Infrastructure NFVI.
