We focus on concepts that are two to ten years ahead of existing products in order to support Ericsson’s future direction. Besides pushing the state of the art in areas such as Cloud for 5G and IoT, our current research is directed at realizing our vision of the next generation Cloud platform - Cloud 3.0, towards application for industrial customers and as a distributed Cloud infrastructure. Our daily work includes advanced research, development of prototypes and exploratory systems, patent and IPR generation, external collaborations, and supporting the Ericsson organization through articulating and influencing technology strategy.
