That shift has seen traffic move rapidly from business areas to residential areas over just a matter of days. In many networks, traffic has increased upwards of 20 percent.<\/p>\n<p>Even with stay at home orders in place over much of the globe, Ericsson was able to move employees who operate customer networks from our global Network Operation Centers to home with zero impact on performance levels.<\/p>\n<p>Ericsson made the transition to remote work globally already at the beginning of March and now has 85,000 employees routinely working from home.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The importance of network quality<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cMore than ever, connectivity is key. With the spread of COVID-19, fixed and mobile telecommunications networks have become an even bigger part of the critical infrastructure, showing the importance of quality in the connectivity,\u201d says Ekholm.<\/p>\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ericsson.com\/en\/blog\/2020\/3\/mobile-network-quality-financial-performance\">recent study<\/a> based on 4G life cycle data from more than thirty countries, Ericsson analyzed the correlation between network quality and financial performance. The conclusion: network quality is a powerful way to drive lower churn rate and increase the average revenue per user (ARPU).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we looked across all service providers, not just leaders, network quality correlated with increased ARPU and reduced churn. Put simply, investing in network quality keeps subscribers happy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>5G offers service providers an opportunity to gain first-mover advantage and create a significant network performance gap with the competition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are already seeing early signs of service providers monetizing the 5G opportunity, with positive ARPU trends and growing revenues in pioneering 5G markets,\u201d says Ekholm.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The future of 5G<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Given the importance of connectivity, and 5G in particular as critical national infrastructure, Ekholm believes that it is in the public interest to ensure that pervasive, high quality, affordable and secure networks are available when and wherever they may be required.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c5G will unlock the potential of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and will be the cornerstone upon which a country\u2019s relative competitiveness is built.\u00a0 While 4G gave us the app economy, 5G will be the greatest open innovation platform ever,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>Ekholm adds that 5G will drive exponential public and private sector value including efficiencies in public services and new and more effective modes of delivery, for example in healthcare, education, transport and disaster control.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is vital that public policy supports a narrowing of the digital divide. Governments should ensure that every citizen and business will enjoy the benefits of the 5G era equally.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This includes, according to Ekholm, countries developing a common and holistic policy that maximizes investment incentives for the private sector. It also includes making sufficient 5G spectrum available as soon as possible and optimizing spectrum assignments to deliver expansive 5G connectivity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn this time of crisis, we are prouder than ever of our people, the ones who are helping us connect the world. We have the best people in the industry, and I know I speak for all Ericsson employees when I say that we are, and will continue to be, a significant company on the world stage.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaking at the kickoff of a new online event series, Ericsson President and CEO, B\u00f6rje Ekholm, highlighted the importance of connectivity during times of crisis and the opportunity we now have to rethink the role of networks in the future.
