Zimbabwe: Econet upgrades Harare mobile network with Ericsson
March 2nd 2023
Econet Wireless Zimbabwe has awarded a contract to Ericsson for the modernisation of its radio access network (RAN) and core network infrastructure across Zimbabwe’s capital city, Harare. Ericsson says the network upgrade will pave the way for Econet to deliver 5G connectivity in more locations, unlocking advanced consumer and enterprise use cases.
As part of the mobile core evolution, Ericsson will modernise the existing Evolved Packet Core (EPC) network to cloud-native dual-mode 5G core, as well as upgrading the Unified Data Management (UDM) solution. The agreement with Econet also includes Ericsson’s cloud infrastructure solutions, the Circuit Switch Core modernisation and the introduction of IP Multimedia System (IMS) for VoLTE and VoWiFi.
