"The trial was successfully completed, enabling connectivity between naval units engaged in a day and night training scenario on the open sea. A completely self-contained end-to-end Ericsson 5G SA network - comprising Ericsson Ultra Compact Core and Ericsson massive MIMO radio access network products and services - was installed on the Italian Navy's amphibious landing ship, San Giorgio, which served as the lead unit during a recent experimentation campaign."
"5G Compad 2.0 comprises a three-year European Defence Fund project that has the objective of turning the results of the original 5G Compad into a more advanced, deployable capability for coalition operations. It will look to develop the next generation of secure, resilient multi-dimensional defence communications leveraging both civil 5G and dedicated military technologies to support missions on land, at sea, in the air and in space."
Ericsson and Leonardo conducted a maritime 5G Standalone connectivity test with the Italian Navy, installing a self-contained end-to-end Ericsson 5G SA network aboard the amphibious landing ship San Giorgio and Ericsson 5G SA CPE on the Raimondo Montecuccoli. The trial enabled connectivity between naval units during day-and-night open-sea training and validated on-board performance, security, and resilience. The deployment used Ericsson Ultra Compact Core and massive MIMO radio access network products. The exercise formed part of EDF 5G Compad 2.0 and the Italian Navy Opex 2-25 in the Gulf of Taranto, targeting multi-domain, secure, resilient coalition communications with advanced sensing, positioning, non-terrestrial networks, and dynamic spectrum-sharing capabilities.
