Ericsson's business

In August of 20 13, after the dissolution of the joint venture between Ericsson and stmicroelectronics, Ericsson took over the LTE ultra-thin chip business. Since then, the chip business department has been committed to putting the first batch of devices integrated with Ericsson chips on the market. 2065438+In August 2004, Ericsson M7450 chip was successfully commercialized.

Ericsson has previously announced that it will evaluate the success of the chip business within 18-24 months after the integration. After evaluating its business, Ericsson found that since the integration, the chip market has developed with each passing day, and the foreseeable ultra-thin chip market has shrunk day by day. At the same time, the chip market is also facing various challenges such as fierce competition, price erosion and accelerated technological innovation.

September 20 14, Ericsson decided to stop chip research and development and pay more attention to the opportunities of wireless network. Ericsson said that in order to seize the opportunities in the wireless network field, especially in the fields of small cell, energy efficiency and M2M, Ericsson urgently needs to increase about 500 R&D personnel. Some resources of the Chip Division just have relevant R&D capabilities, which can support this growth demand. Ericsson's business dealings with China can be traced back to 1982. Ericsson opened its first office in China on 1985, and established Ericsson (China) co., ltd on 1994.

China has always been one of the most important markets for Ericsson in the world, and Ericsson continues to build China's core position in Ericsson's global market in terms of talents, production and research and development. At present, China has become one of the three largest product supply centers of Ericsson in the world. 65438-0997, Ericsson China Institute was established in Beijing to train excellent technical and management talents for China telecom industry. In 2002, Ericsson China R&D Institute was formally established in Beijing.

Ericsson in China —— Constantly Strengthening the Development Strategy of "Core China"

Ericsson has more than 1 1000 employees in China. In 20 12, according to the sales revenue, Ericsson China ranked the third largest market of Ericsson in the world (after the United States and Japan), accounting for 6% of the total sales of the group.

With the vigorous development of China's communication industry, whether it is production and supply, technology research and development or professional services, China's position as a global hub of Ericsson is becoming more and more prominent. From June, 5438 to February, 2000, when China released the Tenth Five-Year Plan, Ericsson submitted the development plan of 200 1-2005 in China to the China government. In particular, Ericsson's investment in China will increase substantially in four areas: high-tech investment, job creation, export increase and R&D and human resources development. Since then, Ericsson has taken the step of building a "core China". In the following years, Ericsson continuously upgraded its industrial base in China-Nanjing Ericsson Panda Communication Co., Ltd., which has now become the largest supply center of Ericsson in the world.

While turning China into a production and supply center, Ericsson is also committed to turning China into the cornerstone of Ericsson's global technology research and development. At present, Ericsson China has more than 4,300 employees engaged in technology research and development, and its annual R&D investment exceeds 654.38 billion RMB. Since the establishment of Ericsson China R&D Institute in 2002, Ericsson's R&D resources in China have been effectively optimized and integrated, and now it has grown into the second largest R&D base of Ericsson in the world. In 2004, Ericsson China exported the first batch of 3G/WCDMA base station products developed and manufactured in China, which fully proved the perfect 3G local R&D, production capacity and resources established by Ericsson in China.

Since 1995, Ericsson has started to build a telecom professional service team in China, and the proportion of professional service business in China's overall business shows a continuous growth trend. Ericsson has set up front-line support services in 36 cities in China. The company has more than 9000 front-line service engineers and service support personnel from partners, forming a three-level technical support system. Ericsson also attaches great importance to cultivating localized talents. From 65438 to 0997, Ericsson China Institute was established in China, which trained a large number of high-quality technical and management talents for the communication industry in China.

The cooperation between Ericsson and China has a history of more than 100 years. As early as 1892, Ericsson received an order from China. 1894, 2000 Ericsson phones came to Shanghai across the ocean. In this sense, Ericsson has been a supplier of communication products in China since then, and its cooperation history with China has entered 120 years this year. 100 years, with its excellent products and technologies, Ericsson has made positive contributions to China's economic development and the rapid rise of the communication industry, creating a number of firsts and firsts in the history of China's telecom development:
