neXt Curve's Leonard Lee was invited on a tour of Ericsson's booth at MWC 2025 Barcelona with VP of Strategy, Oliver Buschmann. Oliver takes Leonard on a journey from the Aduna, network APIs, differentiated connectivity, to programmable networks, to the topic of 5G monetization.

Many thanks to Ericsson for the booth tour and inviting neXt Curve to share our insights into the future of the industry and the opportunities amassing behind 5G SA.

This was one of the highlights of MWC 2025 for neXt Curve. Leonard Lee, Executive Analyst of neXt Curve, was invited by Ericsson to have chat with one of the industry’s tech luminaries, Erik Ekudden, CTO of Ericsson. It was great to get the essence of our ongoing conversations about the industry, tech leadership, and the reinvention of the network in a 5G era and beyond.

Erik and Leonard hit on some serious topics important to the industry with a nice mix of levity. We didn’t know where the conversation would go but we knew we had to start with a view on where we are with 5G.

It’s really time to unleash the backlog of 5G technologies waiting to deliver on the promises of 5G yet unrealized which I have been advocating in neXt Curve for a least two years now.
