Ericsson and Zain Bahrain partner for 5G-powered Industry 4.0
Ericsson and Zain Bahrain have extended their existing partnership to cover Ericsson’s 5G Edge User Plane technology, which Zain plans to use to support so‑called Industry 4.0 services in Bahrain’s industrial sector. The upgrade aims to push computing and network functions closer to end users, which can reduce latency and improve reliability for connected machinery, sensors and other industrial systems.
The companies say the move is intended to give factories and other industrial sites in Bahrain the network capacity and responsiveness needed for applications such as automation, remote monitoring and other data-heavy operations that depend on fast, stable connections.
