Ericsson is the leading supplier of mobile networks in the global market. The company has been the vendor of about 50 percent of the operators with commercial mobile broadband networks.

Ericsson is now driving the standardization of the next evolution step: Long Term Evolution (LTE) and Multimedia Telephony (MMTel).

Ericsson is also aiming at the fixed broadband market. Ericsson's  industry-leading network solutions include radio access network, (radio base stations for GSM, WCDMA, HSPA, LTE) core network solutions, (like softswitch, IP infrastructure, IMS, media gateways), transport solutions (like microwave radio and optical fiber solutions) and fixed access solutions for copper and fibre.

Ericsson is always dedicated to providing comprehensive service to the customers. The services cover network rollout and professional services, such as managed services, consulting and education, systems integration and customer support. As a leading provider of hosting solutions, Ericsson is trying to make the operators launch multimedia services simply, quickly and cost-effectively.

Along with the development, Ericsson established the multimedia organization in 2007 which includes service layer products, revenue management systems, enterprise solutions and mobile platforms. Besides, Sony Ericsson is engaging in leading-edge mobile phones and other mobile communication devices. The 50/50 joint venture integrates the mobile communications expertise of Ericsson with the consumer electronics and content expertise of SONY Corporation and forms an essential part of its end-to-end capability for mobile multimedia services.
