Innovations with impact
Since day one, we have been committed to innovation and to the global ecosystems that support it.
Innovation
In the beginning we revolutionized analogue communications with new switching techniques and technology. When the digital revolution came we were first there too. When broadband was in its infancy we were already working on the technology that would become 3G, and we were developing 4G long before the smartphone became ubiquitous.
Every innovation has a story of its own, with a lot of great people joining together to challenge traditional ways of thinking.
Since the dawn of telecommunications, Ericsson has put enormous time and effort into collaborating with others to set the open standards that make global communications and connections possible.
Here below you find some examples of our innovations that have had significant impact for people, business and society, but first, our technology of today.
