Ericsson expects that in 2026, there will be a $582 billion (roughly Rs. 39,01,215 crores) market opportunity globally as telecom operators leverage 5G technology for industry digitalisation.

For operators, this represents potential to add 34 percent growth in revenues in 2026.

"Ericsson 5G Core System capable of 5G use cases is based on network slices. Network slicing allows an operator to provide dedicated virtual networks with functionality specific to the service or customer over a common network," the company said.
