Ericsson announced on Monday that Vodafone Egypt has trialled Ericsson’s AI-native scheduler for link adaptation on its 5G network to explore how AI can enhance network performance and customer experience.

The solution – which is part of Ericsson’s AI RAN software portfolio – leverages AI to optimize radio link parameters for 5G customers in high-interference areas.

Ericsson said this enables faster real-time radio decisions in Vodafone Egypt's RAN, which enhances throughput and enables better spectrum usage, whilst ensuring reliable performance even in high-demand environments where radio conditions are not optimal.

Dalia Merheb, country manager and head of sales for Ericsson Egypt, said that the live Vodafone Egypt network trial demonstrated up to a 14% gain in radio spectrum efficiency.

“Through this trial with Vodafone Egypt, we are demonstrating how intelligent, real-time adaptation can help optimize radio resources, enhance users’ experience, and improve spectral efficiency,” she said in a statement.

Catalin Buliga, technology director at Vodafone Egypt, said the AI-native scheduler solution marks a shift from networks built to react, to networks built to learn and adjust in real time.

“We continue to adopt AI in our network to improve its efficiency and deliver a consistent and reliable experience for our customers,” Buliga said.

Earlier this month, Ericsson announced that Bahrainian telco Batelco by Beyon will test its AI-native scheduler for link adaptation as part of a [broader network modernisation deal](https://developingtelecoms.com/telecom-technology/wireless-networks/21056-bahrains-batelco-to-deploy-more-ericsson-gear-test-ai-ran-solution.html) between the two companies.
