Ericsson also announced a successful test of its 5G Radio Dot System solution in Taiwan. “The field test achieved peak downlink speeds exceeding 1Gbps at Taipei City Mall,” it said. The system reduces energy consumption by up to 45% compared with active distributed antenna systems, “offering a more sustainable and cost-efficient approach to indoor 5G coverage.”
