Verizon, a leading U.S. communications service provider, and Ericsson, a Swedish communications and technology manufacturer, recently partnered to deliver an enhanced 5G experience for consumers. The first phase of 5G was aimed at large-scale deployment and ecosystem development. But going forward, it will be about the experiences and use cases it enables for consumers and businesses. To this end, Ericsson and Verizon have teamed up to complete advanced trials of low-latency, low-loss, and scalable throughput (L4S) capabilities. The trial will optimize Verizon’s 5G network to support use cases such as remote control of industrial processes, interactive video, augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR).

L4S allows content service providers to efficiently use network resources for time-critical applications, including AR/VR, gaming, real-time video conferencing, Vehicle to Everything (V2X) communications, drone operations, remote control driving, and more. can. L4S is useful in scenarios that require fast, consistent throughput and the ability to meet desired delay goals in real time.
Verizon said L4S on its 5G network is the next in a long line of technological advances the company has made to improve consumers’ 5G network experience.

“Our goal from the beginning has been to build a revolutionary 5G network that requires a redesigned, newly designed, and completely requires a virtualized network,” said Adam Koeppe, senior vice president of networking. and Verizon Technology Planning.
“While the first wave of 5G saw the deployment of large-scale network infrastructure, increased 5G adoption, and rapid ecosystem construction, the second wave of the 5G era saw the deployment of large-scale network infrastructure, increased 5G adoption, and rapid ecosystem construction, while the second wave of the 5G era saw the deployment of large-scale network infrastructure, increased 5G adoption, and rapid ecosystem creation. “It will be characterized by extensive innovation based on security and reliability,” he said.
During the L4S trial, Ericsson and Verizon tested XR applications using XR virtual reality headsets on Ericsson’s 5G SA core connecting to Verizon’s C-band spectrum.
