The Friday File: Ericsson ups 5G outlook, KT shuffles decks and Kuiper taps AWS

Mobile World Live brings you our top three picks of the week, with Ericsson raising its 5G user forecast, KT shaking up its R&D team and Project Kuiper opting for AWS infrastructure.

Ericsson ups 2023 5G forecast by 100M

What happened: Ericsson boosted its forecast for global 5G subscriptions to 1.6 billion by the end of 2023, after estimating additions to total 610 million, a 63 per cent increase year-on-year.

Why it matters: The Swedish vendor raised a previous prediction by about 100 million, which would mean one-in-five global mobile subscriptions would be 5G by end-2023 and the technology would cover 45 per cent of the global population. North America is expected to lead with a 61 per cent penetration rate, with India to rack up 160 million 5G subscribers some 14 months after services launched.

KT creates merged R&D unit

What happened: South Korean operator KT integrated its IT and R&D groups to create a Technology Innovation Division, part of a wider reorganisation and executive reshuffle.

Why it matters: The company made bold moves to transform into an ICT services specialist, with new CEO Kim Young-seop bringing in a fresh CTO for the R&D unit, promoting head of its customer strategy division Park Hyo-il to CSO, and dismantling the Digital Transformation Convergence division and creating an AI unit to establish a governance framework.

Project Kuiper, AWS forge private network ties

What happened: Amazon-owned Project Kuiper announced a plan to offer private networking capabilities in partnership with Amazon Web Services.

Why it matters: The access to AWS infrastructure will enable Project Kuiper customers to move data into any cloud region globally. The satellite service provider also forged a deal with three NTT companies in Japan and Sky Perfect JSAT to provide broadband services to enterprises and government divisions.
