Ericsson 5G Precise Positioning software

Ericsson has introduced a software feature for indoor networks called Ericsson 5G Precise Positioning, which provides location services for a wide range of use cases that communication service providers (CSPs) and enterprises can use, like asset tracking and tool positioning, in environments such as factories, mines, hospitals, warehouses and other industrial private network applications, as well as in emergency response scenarios.

The software is designed to enable new enterprise use cases and advanced 5G monetisation, due to its mobile 3D positioning precision of <1 m for any 5G device indoors. Only a mobile connection is needed (no sensors) and it is fully integrated with the existing network. The software feature is also part of Ericsson’s Private 5G Networks offering to enable enterprises to easily deploy a 5G network.
