Ericsson Antenna System (EAS) demonstrates leadership in passive antenna technology with a portfolio that supports a wide range of frequency bands, from 600MHz to 6GHz, and advanced technologies such as TDD, FDD, multi-beam, and beamforming. Our precisely engineered solutions ensure seamless network integration and real-world performance optimization, delivering future-ready solutions that balance speed, coverage, and sustainability.
Passive antennas significantly influence 5G network performance by optimizing signal strength, minimizing interference, and reducing energy consumption. As highlighted in a recent joint article with ABI Research, passive antennas have the following impact:
An 11 percent improvement in beam efficiency translates to 18 percent higher downlink throughput and 21 percent higher uplink throughput at the cell edge.
Optimized antenna design can lead to 7.5 percent improved energy efficiency (GB/kWh) and a 29 percent reduction in radio energy consumption.
Ericsson antennas are also addressing uplink challenges. With rising demand from video calls, social media uploads, and AI-driven applications, uplink performance is more critical than ever. EAS’s antennas enhance user experience by:
Strengthening signal quality and network stability
Reducing interference for improved connectivity
Optimizing power efficiency to extend device battery life
Driving energy efficiency for sustainable networks
Energy efficiency is a growing priority for mobile operators looking to lower carbon emissions while maintaining high-performing networks. Passive antennas contribute to sustainability by optimizing beam patterns for precise signal transmission, reducing side lobes to minimize energy waste, and lowering power requirements for both infrastructure and devices.
“Ericsson is the leading CSP partner that is extensively researching and simulating the impact of passive antennas on networks, rather than relying on traditional data sheets,” says Mikael Eriksson, Head of Ericsson Antenna System, Ericsson.
“Network impact, measured by performance, sustainability and TCO, is our north star and focusing on this has allowed us to deliver unmatched network impact around the world, in a variety of different deployment scenarios, seeing results of better coverage, improved uplink performance, reduced energy consumption and superior spectrum efficiency.”
EAS’ advanced passive antennas are at the forefront of next-generation 5G infrastructure. As network requirements evolve with the emergence of programmability, antennas are critical in helping CSPs realize the full potential of their network, ensuring high-performance, energy efficiency, and the best total cost of ownership. EAS remains committed to pioneering innovations in antenna technology, empowering mobile operators to build efficient and future-proof networks.
