Last year Ericsson launched their Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) Design Center in Austin, Texas, to develop and test core microelectronics for 5G radio base stations, and now they are announcing plans for a new software development center to be launched later this year. The new location will employ 200 developers and will focus on baseband development.
Ericsson is also committed to continuing research and development for products in the US. “Ericsson will recruit a dedicated team to work specifically on introducing products for the US market, conducting production engineering, testing/integration, and supply preparations on early prototypes. This will be done in close collaboration with US-based R&D resources,” the company explained.
