About us

For as long as Ericsson has existed, we have had the idea to make communications available for all. That communication is a basic human need and for more than 140 years, our ideas, technology and people have changed the world: real turning points that have transformed lives, industries and society as a whole.

Mobility is the fastest scaling technology ever. Today, there are almost 8 billion mobile subscriptions globally, enabling people around the world to communicate. Our industry is a key driver of innovation, economic growth and human equality – one of the few industries that touches almost all people in the world, on a daily basis. Yet, it is also a very competitive industry, and our customers, the communications service providers, are looking to technology to help them tap into new revenue streams, go fully digital and continuously be more efficient in response to skyrocketing traffic on their networks.

The advent of 5G and IoT and real-time connectivity – from connected cars to personal wearables to smart grid technology – will again fundamentally change our world. It will pull us into an age of advanced machine intelligence, blended virtual and physical realities, and complete network connectivity. We are at the forefront of this change, helping service providers meet expectations today and in the future by focusing on network quality and an evolution path to 5G.

We are setting both 4G and 5G speed records, leading in network slicing and distributed cloud and reducing complexity with innovative Artificial Intelligence and machine learning solutions. Our commitment to developing leading technology is underlined by the more than 42,000 patents we have worldwide, including our landmark 5G patent application that was the largest ever in our industry in terms of inventors.

If you would like your career to truly have a global impact, then we are interested in talking to you.
