Three Sweden announced that its commercial 5G Standalone (5G SA) network, powered by Ericsson’s cloud‑native 5G core and radio access network, began operation in December 2025. The launch marks the first commercial deployment of Ericsson technology in Sweden and expands Three’s 5G footprint across the country.
The new network delivers expanded coverage, higher capacity, lower latency and faster speeds for both consumer and business subscribers. It also enables enterprise customers to create dedicated virtual networks through network slicing, providing guaranteed performance for mission‑critical applications such as edge‑AI, Internet‑of‑Things (IoT) workloads and fixed‑wireless access services.
For Ericsson, the deployment is a key milestone in its 5G SA strategy, adding a new market to its growing portfolio of commercial 5G SA networks. It demonstrates the commercial viability of Ericsson’s end‑to‑end solution and positions the company to capture the growing demand for ultra‑low‑latency, high‑reliability services that underpin edge‑AI and IoT ecosystems.
"The launch of our 5G Standalone network is a crucial step forward in delivering enhanced services to our customers," said Rajib Eklund, Chief Technology and Innovation Officer at Three Sweden. "Ericsson’s technology allows us to significantly improve network efficiency and create tailored connectivity solutions for Swedish businesses and consumers."
"We are proud to partner with Three Sweden to make their 5G Standalone strategy a reality," added Niclas Backlund, Head of Sweden and the Baltics at Ericsson. "Powered by Ericsson technology end‑to‑end, this deployment will help Three Sweden drive productivity, sustainability and innovation across sectors."
