      Connectivity Planning Platform

      A flagship example is Ericsson's partnership with the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) to help governments strengthen national connectivity planning and bridge digital divides.

      Through this collaboration, including the Connectivity Planning Platform, policymakers gain practical tools and insights to identify unconnected points of interest and communities and design effective strategies to expand access.

      Together, the partnership supports more inclusive, data-informed decisions that accelerate sustainable connectivity for education and underserved areas.
