ERICSSON is the driver of the Network Society – world leader in communications technology and services. Our long-term relationship with the majority of telecommunications operators around the world allows people, companies, and societies to live up to their potential and to create a more sustainable future. Ericsson’s 5G is the evolution of the mobile communications and it will be instrumental to tend to the needs of the connected society and to make the digital transformation of the rest of the industries a reality with the possibility of attending multiple new cases of use. Ericsson actively participates in European and international programs for the investigation and development of 5G such as Horizon2020, 5GPPP, or METIS II which we lead. Our alliance with Telefónica and IMDEA Networks for 5TONIC within the framework of our 5G for Europe program will contribute so that Spanish industries and society in general enjoy the benefits of 5G in the near future”. Ericsson is the first manufacturer to join the initiative as part of its 5G for Europe program.
