Ericsson and Icelandic service provider, Síminn, are partnering
to ramp up the move towards 5G through a core network and
radio access modernisation partnership. Síminn will modernise
and expand its radio network and continue to deploy the 5G-ready
Ericsson Radio System. The companies will also conduct 5G trials
enabled by Ericsson 5G New Radio and Ericsson Spectrum Sharing.
Síminn is eyeing the introduction of new IoT services on its 4G network
– including Narrowband IoT (NB–IoT) and Cat–M1. The agreement
aims to accelerate the growth of Iceland’s IoT ecosystem across
diverse use cases.

IBM has announced that The Agricultural Social Insurance
Fund (KRUS), a social insurance provider for farmers in Poland, is
adopting IBM Cloud to implement a hybrid cloud strategy that will
help modernise its new e-learning platform. Moving its educational
programmes about the rules of safe work in farming to the cloud
enables KRUS to improve schools’ youth safety. Agriculture is one of the
most dangerous industries, placing farmers at high risk for potentially
fatal and nonfatal injuries. Until now, KRUS’s educational programmes
were only available in pamphlet form and had limited reach. In
advance of the summer usage spike, KRUS has revamped the
programme for children.
