Ericsson and Intel partnership in 5G and Cloud

Taking mobile communications to the next level through collaboration in the areas of 5G and Cloud

Collaboration between Ericsson and Intel employees in Cloud RAN.

Ericsson-Intel Tech Hub

The Ericsson-Intel Tech Hub focuses on the benefits that Ericsson Cloud RAN and Intel technology can bring to: improving energy efficiency and network performance, reducing time to market, and monetizing new business opportunities such as enterprise applications. The center is based in Ericsson’s D-15 facility in Santa Clara and is already operational.

How CPU choices impact application performance in layered architectures

Modernization of telecom networks will be a continuous journey as more and more agile technologies are developed. Deploying network function virtualization or introducing 5G cloud-native applications require solid system-level verification as well as optimizing applications for the hardware platform to achieve maximum performance.
