Samsung Electronics Company said last week that it has finished the launch of a 5G network with Dish Network Corporation. They have introduced a large-scale fifth-generation network, and this project is expected to speed up the American wireless carrier’s leadership in the global 5G market.
As per Pulse News, the equipment used in the 5G network supply is worth some KRW1 trillion. Samsung Electronics and Dish Network were able to successfully complete the performance test in the country, and this was followed by the introduction of the network in the span of nine months.
In any case, the network business is said to be considered a flagship field of Samsung Electronics’ executive chairman, Lee Jae Yong or also known as Jay Y. Lee. He is said to have played a big role in his company’s success in clinching the supply contract for 5G equipment to Dish Network last year.
The Samsung chair reportedly went on a hiking trip to Mount Bukhan in South Korea with the Colorado-based satellite television company’s chairman Charlie Ergen. Through this rigorous activity, they have built up trust, which has led to business collaboration and agreements.
“DISH Wireless is an innovator in mobile technologies and we are thrilled to reach new heights of connectivity together, validating the immense potential that virtualization and openness can bring to the industry,” Samsung Electronics executive vice president and head of global sales and marketing, networks business, June Hee Lee, said in a press release. “This milestone advances the wide-scale deployment of Samsung’s vRAN in the U.S. and we look forward to continuing our work with DISH Wireless to accelerate 5G expansion and lead the delivery of next-generation connectivity across the country.”
On the other hand, Dish Wireless’ EVP and chief network officer, Marc Rouanne, said, “Samsung is a key player in the DISH Wireless Open RAN ecosystem, created in collaboration with additional Open RAN leaders like Dell, VMware, AWS and others.”
