On this episode of the Six Five Webcast: The 5G Factor, hosts Ron Westfall and Tom Hollingsworth, assess the mobile ecosystem implications of Ericsson demonstrating its commitment to the Open RAN cause by advancing O2 interface industrialization with Dell Technologies and Red Hat. They review Apple debuts the iPhone 16e using its A18 chip alingside the new Apple C1, the first cellular modem designed by Apple and why Qualcomm is well-positioned to continue delivering top quality modem/RF systems and capitalize on new business across diverse segments. Plus, why Telstra is set to become the first operator in the Asia-Pacific region to benefit from a high-performing, programmable network with 5G Advanced capabilities, due in good part to its collaboration with Ericsson, as well as showing why 5G Advanced enabled programmability capabilities show why 5G networks can help drive ecosystem-wide innovation.
