Ericsson and MediaTek completed a world-first commercial 5G network test delivering high-precision outdoor positioning with accuracy under 30 cm using standard 3GPP GNSS RTK technology and handsets' built-in antennas.

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

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Precise localisation is now achievable on standard 5G devices without extra hardware. You can explore new location-dependent services in transport and robotics that were previously limited by less accurate positioning.
