    • 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.

    Alaska scenery

    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.
