Ericsson is expanding its Research and Development (R&D) team in Bengaluru, India, to advance its capabilities in Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) development.
Nitin Bansal, the Managing Director of Ericsson India, said, “By expanding our ASIC R&D in India, we can use the local technology skills in the country to improve our semiconductor design capabilities. This new team will also help build India’s semiconductor ecosystem. We plan to add more than 150 new jobs to our R&D team in India.”
Anna Dicander, Vice President of Radio & Transport Engineering at Ericsson, added, “We want to strengthen our R&D team in Bengaluru, known for its lively technology environment and skilled workers. By focusing more on ASIC development, we are boosting our technological strength. Our investments in the Ericsson Silicon platform will help us launch new products and features faster.”
The expansion of Ericsson’s R&D team in India will help improve its key products and shape the future of high-performing networks.
Dicander explained, “Ericsson Silicon is crucial for making high-performing, energy-efficient, and lightweight products that can be used in many different situations.”
This range of special chips is designed for mobile networks and works with the entire Ericsson Radio System, which includes important parts like basebands and transport. This allows service providers to make the most of 5G technology to meet both current and future needs. Ericsson Silicon helps create advanced features, better performance, and energy efficiency for Ericsson-powered networks around the world.
