The establishment of a specialized Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) development facility in Bengaluru has been announced by Ericsson. Its R&D presence in India is greatly increased by this action, which is also anticipated to result in the creation of over 150 new jobs.
Nitin Bansal, Managing Director, Ericsson India, said: “Expanding ASIC R&D in India will allow us to leverage local technology competence and enhance our capabilities in semiconductor design. This unit will also contribute towards strengthening the
Ericsson’s Bengaluru ASIC unit will focus on designing advanced semiconductors for telecom infrastructure, helping:
- Strengthen India’s emerging semiconductor design ecosystem
- Foster local talent development in chip design and R&D
- Support India’s vision for self-reliant technology development
Ericsson promotes innovation and efficiency worldwide while guaranteeing that its solutions are well-suited to local needs by funding local R&D.
Currently, Ericsson has R&D facilities in Chennai, Bengaluru, and Gurugram, where teams are engaged in vital telecom areas:
- Transport
- Packet Core
- Operations Support Systems (OSS)
- Business Support Systems (BSS)
- Cloud technologies
- Advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions
Ericsson’s R&D presence in India will be bolstered by the new ASIC unit, positioning the nation as a key location for the development of next-generation telecom technology.
This program strengthens India’s standing as a major international hub for semiconductor R&D and telecom innovation.
Ericsson’s long-term dedication to India’s technological landscape is demonstrated by its new Bengaluru ASIC development lab. In addition to expanding its own portfolio, Ericsson is helping India achieve its objective of developing a robust, innovation-driven semiconductor ecosystem by establishing more than 150 new jobs and funding domestic semiconductor design.
