Ericsson is one of only three companies worldwide capable of delivering end-to-end 5G radio access networks, alongside Nokia and Huawei, making it indispensable to sovereign European telecommunications infrastructure. The company's equipment underpins mobile networks for billions of users globally, and its continued competitiveness is a matter of European national security as Western nations move to exclude Chinese vendors from critical network infrastructure. With nearly 150 years of telecommunications heritage, Ericsson anchors Europe's position in the global connectivity supply chain.
