Ericsson establishes research and development presence in Vietnam
The company says its Vietnam R&D activities involve around 500 engineering professionals working on network and cloud technologies.
Ericsson announced on November 10 that it had established research and development capabilities in Vietnam, involving around 500 engineering professionals. The company said their work covers Radio Access Network (RAN), Core Network and cloud-native technologies.
The operation builds on software engineering and testing work already undertaken in Vietnam, according to Ericsson. Its scope includes radio software for Massive MIMO and remote radio solutions, as well as cloud infrastructure, testing frameworks and automation. The company said these activities support its global product development, including work on 5G and future technologies.
Ericsson said partnerships with R&D organisations in Vietnam give it access to local engineering expertise and specialised skills across several technology fields. It said the arrangement supports further expansion of its research and development activities in the country.
Rita Mokbel, head of Ericsson Vietnam, said the company wanted to give local engineers more opportunities to develop technologies for global use. She said the R&D presence was also expected to support Vietnam’s technology ecosystem through work on telecommunications software and technology platforms.
