Ericsson named a leader in IDC MarketScape: European Enterprise Private 5G Solutions 2025 Vendor Assessment

The IDC MarketScape assessment evaluates enterprise private 5G solution providers, focusing on their capabilities and strategic initiatives for delivering robust and scalable connectivity solutions. We believe Ericsson's recognition reflects its commitment to innovation and excellence in meeting the diverse needs of industries across Europe and globally.

The IDC MarketScape report states: “The creation of a dedicated enterprise unit [in Ericsson] reflects a major strategic shift. This unit focuses specifically on private network solutions, enterprise mobility, and vertical-specific use cases, demonstrating Ericsson’s ambition to compete not only as a network vendor, but as a solution provider for digital enterprise infrastructure.”

Ericsson's strategic transformation and creation of its enterprise unit is supported and bolstered by its professional services and streamlined partner ecosystem. This approach enables scalable enterprise deployments and seamless integration with broader digital transformation initiatives, making Ericsson a trusted partner for industries such as manufacturing, mining, ports, airports, and energy.

Alejandro Cadenas, Associate Vice President Analyst at IDC, says: “With Ericsson’s industrial-grade cellular platform, deep cellular expertise, and the enterprise route to market brought by Cradlepoint, the company is well-positioned to help organizations accelerate digital transformation, enhance operational resilience, and scale connectivity across complex environments. Ericsson demonstrates a strong understanding of enterprise requirements, with a roadmap that reflects customer needs while remaining focused on delivering measurable business outcomes. Its extensive deployment footprint across multiple regions, supported by local teams, allows enterprises to replicate private network solutions across sites in many countries with consistency and speed.”

Manish Tiwari, Head of Enterprise 5G, Ericsson Enterprise Wireless Solutions, says: “We believe this acknowledgement from the IDC MarketScape validates that Ericsson is designing and delivering solutions that cater to business-critical industrial requirements. We are at a tipping point where enterprises are recognizing Private 5G's ability to offer deterministic wireless networks that support low latency and high mobility applications at scale—and understanding its value over alternative wireless networking technologies.”
