Ericsson’s Chief Technology Officer, Erik Ekudden talks about the new innovation ecosystem being created by 5G and cloud platforms in the latest episode of the Ericsson News Podcast: “The next era of 5G and cloud with CTO Erik Ekudden”.
Erik has experience working with technology leadership globally and influences the strategic decisions and investments of Ericsson in mobility, distributed cloud, artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things. This is due to his decades-long career in technology strategies and industry activities.
5G and the massive increase of compute power in the network will transform the telecom industry. Service providers offering the most value add in emerging edge ecosystems stand to gain most from lucrative new pathways into 5G cloud revenue streams.
Ericsson is strongly investing in the wireless edge and wireless WAN space to enable service providers to grow into emerging enterprise markets. Earlier last year, they announced the acquisition of Cradlepoint which provides a strong foundation for this. Ericsson is also active in various ways from a standardization, technology and use case alignment perspective where they engage with device vendors, cloud providers, operations technology vendors and application developers with specific domain knowledge to define common network APIs.
