Overview
Swedish telecom network equipment maker that launched AI in RAN in June 2026, embedding AI models directly into basebands and radios to boost 5G network performance without new hardware, alongside a new AI-ready radio and antenna lineup featuring Ericsson Silicon neural network accelerators unveiled ahead of MWC 2026. Ericsson also co-launched Digital Arena Sweden, a national 5G/6G/AI test center backed by more than SEK 300 million in investment, and reported margin-resilient Q2 2026 results even as sales eased, with AI network use cases continuing to advance.
