Ericsson brought live 5G network coverage for developers from around the world at the annual Google I/O event in Mountain View, California this week. Google had selected Ericsson as 5G infrastructure provider for this year’s developer conference, I/O 2019. The Swedish telecom vendor is providing Google with live 5G networks on mid- and millimeter wave spectrum bands using commercial 5G products, reflecting worldwide deployments.
With its high speed, low latency and greater capacity, the provided 5G connectivity gave some 7,000 developers at the event the opportunity to work on 5G use cases, along with the possibility to experience 5G on an array of next-generation devices from several device makers.
Inaugurated in 2008, Google I/O – which stands for input/output as well as the slogan “Innovation in the Open” – brings together developers from across the globe every year for talks, workshops, and a first glance at Google’s latest developer products.
