In order to improve its expertise in the development of Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), Ericsson is growing its Research and Development (R&D) team in Bengaluru, India. This calculated action demonstrates Ericsson’s dedication to helping India lead the way in future communication technology.
Ericsson’s commitment to promoting innovation in the very competitive sector of ASIC development is further evidenced by its choice to increase its R&D presence in Bengaluru, one of India’s leading technological hubs.
Ericsson’s industry-leading portfolio will be strengthened by the R&D expansion in India, helping to shape the future with programmable networks that perform well.
Ericsson has played a significant role in forming India’s telecom environment, including mobile connectivity, for more than 120 years.
From establishing the foundation for GSM services in 1994 to assisting with the transition to 5G, the company initiated its India 6G program in 2024 by establishing an India 6G Research Team at its R&D Center in Chennai.
Ericsson invests over USD 5 billion in research and development every year worldwide, which helps to solidify the company’s technological leadership in 5G and next-generation products and solutions.
With research and development facilities in Chennai, Bengaluru, and Gurugram, India, Ericsson operates in the telecom sectors of transport, packet core, OSS, BSS, cloud, and advanced artificial intelligence.
