Ericsson Intelligent Automation Platform

Ericsson rApps run on the Ericsson Intelligent Automation Platform (EIAP), our leading open network management and automation platform – supporting multitechnology cloud, open and purpose-built RAN environments.

Our EIAP includes a non-Real Time RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) and an open SDK that allows CSPs and third parties to deploy rApps supporting automation across the entire network lifecycle. EIAP is cloud-vendor agnostic, meaning it can be deployed on-premises, on the service provider cloud edge or in hyper-scale cloud environments.

Key features of the EIAP:

Multi-technology and multi-vendor: supporting purpose-built RAN, Cloud RAN and Open RAN
Seamless introduction of Open RAN: enabling consolidation and coordination of all rApps on a single platform
Open innovation: provides an open foundation for third-party app developers to innovate at scale

Explore the EIAP

Ericsson Intelligent Controller

Included as part of the EIAP, the Ericsson Intelligent Controller (EIC) delivers a safe and feature-rich execution environment for rApps. As the EIAP’s non-realtime RAN intelligent controller (RIC), the EIC provides a single, secure platform to consolidate and scale rApp automation.
