Nex-Tech Wireless has signed a four-year deal with Ericsson to modernise 85% of its rural Kansas RAN network and expand its cloud-native standalone 5G core capabilities, aiming to bring advanced 5G to underserved areas and enable network hosting for other providers.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Telecom & Connectivity.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

The rollout of advanced 5G in rural Kansas opens an access point for you if you provide complementary network services or software platforms. This creates a runway to tap into rural areas that have been historically underserved and positions you close to new wholesale hosting opportunities.
