Orange Morocco Partners with Ericsson to Accelerate 5G Deployment
Doha – Orange Morocco has signed a strategic agreement with Ericsson to modernize and expand its network infrastructure, preparing for the introduction of 5G technology in the country. The partnership, announced on Thursday, aligns with Morocco's Digital 2030 strategy aimed at advancing the country's digital transformation, according to a press release from the company. The collaboration will enable Orange Morocco to integrate cutting-edge technologies, specifically Ericsson's dual-mode 5G Core and Cloud Native Infrastructure Solution, optimized for hosting cloud-native 5G applications, the statement indicates. This modernization will increase the operator's network capacity and enhance customer experience while building a scalable network architecture for 5G implementation, according to the announcement. Through this strategic partnership, Orange Morocco will introduce the 'Ericsson Cloud Core Policy Controller,' ensuring high scalability, improved network resilience, and new business models, as specified in the company's communication. The telecommunications operator will also expand its network with additional IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) and Ericsson Packet Core sites to strengthen Voice over LTE (VoLTE) services and provide highly reliable 4G and 5G services, the release states. 'Orange Morocco places innovation and customer satisfaction at the heart of its strategy,' said Hendrik Kasteel, CEO of Orange Morocco. 'This partnership with Ericsson reinforces our commitment to offering an increasingly powerful, reliable network adapted to the growing digital needs of Moroccans.' Majda Lahlou Kassi, President of Ericsson Morocco and VP Ericsson West Africa and Southern Africa, added: 'At Ericsson, our customers' success is central to our mission. We are proud to support Orange Morocco in this major transformation, which aims to respond to rapidly evolving connectivity needs.' The modernization also includes improving automation and orchestration of cloud-native infrastructure through upgrades to Ericsson Network Manager, Orchestrator, and Network IQ Statistics software already used by Orange Morocco to orchestrate its network, as detailed in the announcement. This partnership continues a 20-year cooperation between Orange Morocco and Ericsson, demonstrating the Moroccan operator's commitment to anticipating the country's future connectivity needs and strengthening its role as a pillar of national digital development, according to the companies. According to the National Telecommunications Regulatory Agency (ANRT), the commercial launch of 5G in Morocco is scheduled for early November 2025, just before the start of the Africa Cup of Nations. Implementation will begin in major cities before gradually extending to less dense and more remote areas. The Morocco Digital 2030 plan aims to achieve 25% population coverage by the end of 2025, increasing to 70% by 2030. The ambitious goal is to ensure nationwide coverage for the 2030 FIFA World Cup. The arrival of 5G will significantly impact various sectors, including intelligent transportation, home automation, and productivity in next-generation industrial units, according to industry analysts. Agriculture, public services, and the digitalization of administrative procedures will also receive a strong boost. A key element in this process is the strategic agreement signed in late March between Maroc Telecom and Inwi to accelerate the deployment of fiber optics and 5G throughout the country through infrastructure sharing via two joint ventures: Tower Co for 5G and FiberCo for fiber optics.

GCI selects Ericsson to deploy and operate new 5G Core network
GCI Communication Corp partners with Ericsson for core network Build and Operate, deploying 5G Core as part of the Ericsson dual-mode 5G Core solution to support the operator's ongoing transformation. Ericsson will assume responsibility for core network operations across all network generations, leveraging AI to enhance customer experience, freeing up GCI resources for strategic initiatives. Ericsson and GCI to build a framework to streamline and accelerate deployment of future core functionality, accelerating the implementation of new capabilities. PLANO, Texas, April 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) and GCI Communication Corp (GCI) have announced a new partnership to revolutionize GCI's core network infrastructure and accelerate its cloud-native transformation. The new agreement provides the latest generation of cloud-core technology along with new AI tools and ways of working that address increasing network complexity inherent with evolving networks. This new agreement is a major step towards the seamless integration of advanced 5G services capabilities into GCI's network. Ericsson already provides the Radio Access Network (RAN), microwave transport, and core network technology to support GCI's 3G, 4G, and 5G Non-Standalone (NSA) networks - the latter being the first 5G network in Alaska when launched in 2020. With this new deal, GCI will augment the network with a new dual-mode 5G Core in preparation for the future launch of 5G Standalone (SA) services. Ericsson will operate the existing 3G, 4G, and 5G NSA core network as well as the new cloud-native core platform, supporting 5G SA capabilities, on GCI's behalf via its Intelligent Operations Center (IOC). The partnership enables Ericsson and GCI to leverage their own unique areas of technical expertise to support the operation of GCI's statewide network and deliver the best possible connectivity to Alaskans. In today's rapidly evolving landscape, the demand for faster and more reliable wireless connectivity continues to surge. Operators can face challenges when transforming their business processes and operations maturity to meet the demands of advanced 5G services while maintaining the quality of connectivity across earlier generations of networks their customers demand. Previously, options were limited to investing resources in complex modernizations, or relinquishing control by engaging a hosting provider. By operating the core network on behalf of customers, Ericsson has introduced a third option for operators like GCI who need the control and flexibility of a wholly-owned core network while simultaneously accelerating operational transformation. Ericsson provides the means for GCI to support their transformation whilst maintaining control of their core network during deployment of 5G SA and associated advanced services in an efficient, focused and cost-disciplined manner. "By leveraging Ericsson's expertise, innovative solutions, and advanced services capabilities, we are poised to elevate GCI's core network infrastructure to new heights and support its ambitious plans for growth and business evolution over the coming years," said Eric Boudriau, Senior Vice President and Head of Customer Unit Regional Customers & HCPs, Ericsson Americas. "We're dedicated to providing our customers with enhanced services and experiences, incorporating advanced AI and predictive core operations." The partnership heralds a new era of operational efficiency and customer-centricity for GCI. Ericsson's advanced artificial intelligence and predictive core operations promise an unparalleled customer experience. At the same time, new ways of working and inter-company collaboration accelerate the deployment of new future core functionalities while freeing up GCI's resources to concentrate on other strategic initiatives. "We're excited to expand the long-standing partnership with Ericsson and strengthen GCI's wireless footprint throughout Alaska," said GCI Senior Vice President & Chief Technology Officer Troy Goldie. "By leveraging Ericsson's expertise and innovative solutions in the core network, we are building a framework that will enable us to streamline and accelerate deployment of future core functionality and accelerate the implementation of new capabilities enabling us to provide our customers with an even better mobile data and voice experience." Ericsson's Core Build and Operate Managed Services not only provide predictability in core spending but also accelerate core deployment projects and operations transformation. With a shared commitment to innovation and excellence, GCI and Ericsson are poised to shape the future of wireless telecommunications in the region and beyond, one breakthrough at a time.
