Ericsson has opened a purpose-built global ICT center in Rosersberg, Sweden as a foundation for the development of the next generation of cloud infrastructure and services to drive innovation across new offerings delivered from any location. The new center follows the opening of the Global ICT Center in Linköping, Sweden in September 2014. In addition to these two facilities, Ericsson will be opening another Global ICT Center in the second quarter of this year in Montreal, Canada .
According to Ericsson, the 20,000 square meters center supports engineering on virtual platforms with global test labs and IT hubs connected via a single virtual environment - supporting Ericsson to host 5G development under one roof. The Global ICT Centers will also allow Ericsson to emulate an operator's mobile network and to test new solutions as if they were running on a live network.
