Ericsson Response

Where there is a human need to communicate Ericsson is there

We believe that disaster response can be faster and more effective.

Ericsson Response is a global initiative that provides the communication equipment and expertise needed to respond effectively to human suffering caused by disasters. The initiative formalizes our commitment to the issue based on its previous involvement and experience in various disaster response efforts throughout the world. Its strength lies in the ways it uses Ericsson’s core knowledge and expertise to extend help to provide quicker relief during emergencies.

Ericsson Response was formed in 2000 when employees, knowing how vital effective telecommunications are in crises, expressed the wish to contribute their experience in disaster situations. Since then, the program has developed successful partnerships with UN relief agencies and other humanitarian organizations, and provided thousands of hours a year in training to employees willing to volunteer their time and effort.

Key achievements during the past 10 years include providing communications systems and expertise to our partners in Turkey (1999), India (2001), Iran (2003), Thailand (2004), USA (2005), Pakistan (2005), Lebanon (2006) and Haiti (2010).
