Swedish network equipment maker Ericsson is expanding its research and development (R&D) team in Bengaluru by more than 150 positions to enhance its capabilities in Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) development.
The R&D expansion in India will serve to enhance Ericsson's portfolio of high-performing programmable networks. The team will work on developing Ericsson Silicon's range of System on Chips (SoC) for use in network technologies to fully leverage 5G and address both current and future needs, the company said in a statement Thursday.
“Expanding our ASIC R&D in India will enable us to leverage the local technology competence in the country towards enhancing our capabilities in semiconductor design. This unit will also contribute towards strengthening the semiconductor ecosystem in the country," said Nitin Bansal, managing director, Ericsson India.
The company has multiple R&D sites in India, including in Chennai, Bengaluru, and Gurugram that work across telecom domains spanning Transport, Packet Core, OSS, BSS, Cloud and advanced AI technologies.
Ericsson invests $5 billion in R&D annually, it added. It though didn't specify the investments to be made for the latest expansion in India.
"By increasing our focus on ASIC development, we are reinforcing our technological prowess. Our investments in the Ericsson Silicon platform, in particular, will accelerate the launch of new products and innovative features to the market.” said Anna Dicander, Vice President, Radio and Transport Engineering, Ericsson Business Area Networks.
