Ericsson and global technology group e& have entered a multi-year agreement to upgrade e& UAE\u2019s 5G Core network by deploying Ericsson\u2019s advanced cloud-native technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agreement, made at GITEX Global 2025, encompasses the modernisation of core network applications from Ericsson\u2019s dual-mode 5G Core solution, such as the Unified Data Management (UDM), IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), User Data Consolidation (UDC) and Ericsson Secure Entitlement Server (SES) on e& UAE\u2019s network, running on a combination of Ericsson Cloud Native Infrastructure Solution and e&\u2019s own cloud. These will allow e& UAE to leverage cutting-edge 5G capabilities while ensuring robust platform stability through automation, continuous software updates and optimisations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The modernisation brings e& closer to fully deploying a next-generation, cloud-native 5G Core that enables ultra-fast, reliable and secure connectivity tailored to customer needs. It will deliver low latency, consistent service quality and highly personalised network offerings, necessary to drive applications such as immersive gaming and mission-critical Internet of Things (IoT) services.<\/p>\n\n\n
