Ericsson plans to ramp up its commitment to Japan’s connectivity ecosystem through R&D investment that will initially see up to 300 high-skilled next-generation telecoms jobs created in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This will also enable Japan’s ecosystem to become an integral part of Ericsson’s global ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ericsson President and CEO B\u00f6rje Ekholm said while the process is in its initial stages, the commitment is actively being progressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Japan is known around the world for embracing emerging technology and being frontrunner adopters of new generations of connectivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We are on the cusp of the biggest transformative and innovative changes in the history of technology and connectivity is the key to making them happen through open high-performing programmable networks. Ericsson’s intention is to invest in that pioneering Japanese legacy through advanced RAN R&D in 5G, and beyond, to benefit the entire telecoms ecosystem of partners, suppliers and customers in Japan,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The speed, low-latency, large data capacity and intelligent capabilities of high performing, programmable networks are key to making innovative new technology business use cases – including AI – a reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ericsson began operations in Japan in 1985 and has offices in Tokyo, Yokohama and Sendai. The company currently employs more than 1,000 people in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to the intent to expand research and development operations in Japan, Ericsson is collaborating on 6G research with the Yokohama National University and the University of Electro-Communications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
