This page describes the applications of Radio Dot in 5G wireless networks and highlights the features of the Ericsson 5G Radio Dot.
What is a 5G Radio Dot?
The 5G Radio Dot is essentially a small cell designed for 5G wireless networks. Its primary purpose is to address indoor coverage challenges by delivering high-speed connectivity, ultimately enhancing the user experience.
Compliant with the 3GPP standard, the 5G Radio Dot can boost throughput to over 2 Gbps. This palm-sized base station can be easily installed on the roof of a house or within a business premise. Its compact size and ease of installation make it a valuable asset in areas where macro radio signals struggle to penetrate, ensuring seamless 5G coverage.
