Ericsson (ERIC), Dell Team Up to Boost Network Transformation

Ericsson ERIC recently announced that it has joined forces with Dell Technologies to assist communication service providers (CSPs) in their transition to cloud-based network infrastructure. The collaboration aims to utilize their extensive industry expertise to develop customized plans to enable CSPs to modernize their network architectures and operating models. A major goal is to jointly develop services that simplify the deployment process, including factory validation, installation and ongoing operational management.

Ericsson and Dell will focus on developing energy efficient solutions, ensuring scalable and cost-effective network management. This will foster innovation, providing CSPs with more growth opportunities.

Per the deal, Ericsson will commercially launch its Cloud RAN software on Dell PowerEdge servers. The solution will offer continuous integration testing and lifecycle management, empowering CSPs to deploy advanced technologies swiftly while mitigating risks.

Network operators are increasingly leaning towards cloud-based network infrastructure, owing to the potential for better monetization and reduced operating costs. Despite recognizing the critical importance, several challenges undermine their initiatives. Limited time and budget, along with concerns over maintaining network reliability and security during the transition, are major issues.

With its strategic partnership with Dell, Ericsson will provide the necessary expertise to overcome these barriers, accelerating network modernization and introducing advanced cloud-native programmable networks to match customer expectations in a rapidly evolving market. These initiatives will strengthen Ericsson position in the wireless equipment industry and improve its commercial prospects.

With the emergence of the smartphone market and the subsequent usage of mobile broadband, user demand for coverage speed and quality has increased exponentially. Further, to maintain performance with increased traffic, there is a continuous need for network tuning and optimization. Ericsson is much in demand among operators to expand network coverage and upgrade networks for higher speed and capacity. The company is reportedly the world’s largest supplier of LTE technology with a significant market share and has established a large number of LTE networks worldwide.

The company focuses on 5G system development and has undertaken many notable endeavors to position itself as a market leader. It believes that the standardization of 5G is the cornerstone for digitizing industries and broadband. Ericsson expects mainstream 4G offerings to give way to 5G technology in the future. It currently has 162 live 5G networks across the globe, spanning 69 countries.

The stock has gained 14.2% over the past year compared with the industry’s growth of 51.3%.
