SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
April 23, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) today announced the upcoming launch
of Ericsson D-Fifteen, a new innovation and co-creation center at
the company's Santa Clara office,
which will serve as a launching pad for the next industrial
revolution, powered by 5G.
The 5G-connected facility represents Ericsson's evolution in
Silicon Valley, bringing multiple core capabilities together under
one roof. D-Fifteen combines the company's collaborative spirit
with leading technologies to provide a high-powered platform for
building impactful and unique solutions, driven by co-creation and
innovative partnerships.
The facility is under construction and will open in the summer
of 2019.
Margaret Herndon, Head of
Marketing and Communications for Ericsson
North America says: "D-Fifteen will be a place for
experimentation and collaboration, a showcase for the promising
technologies that 5G will empower. This facility will bring
together the brightest minds in Ericsson and, working with our
partners, we'll tap into the fast-moving, boundary-breaking spirit
of Silicon Valley to bring about the next evolution in mobile
networks. We want our partners to dare, design and deliver all in
one world-class facility."
D-Fifteen builds on Ericsson's history of more than 140 years of
innovation. From automated switches in the 1920s, to Bluetooth in
1999 and the first mobile broadband network in 2004, the company
has a track record of bold innovation.
The name D-Fifteen is a nod to that history. The first Ericsson
workshop, where Lars-Magnus
Ericsson, his wife Hilda and their partner Carl Johan Andersson created their first
products back in 1876, was located at Drottninggatan 15 in
Stockholm. The name of the new
center links to those beginnings and the spirit of innovation and
leadership that has remained in Ericsson's DNA ever since.
D-Fifteen will be an incubator for the big ideas that will push
the boundaries of what mobile technology can do. Customers,
partners and the Silicon Valley ecosystem community will be invited
to collaborate around how their products and services will be
affected by 5G technologies and get a firsthand look at the latest
Ericsson innovations within Core, Edge Computing, AI and Cloud.
The center will bring together key areas of Ericsson's
technology innovators into one location. The first of those to join
D-Fifteen include:
- D-15 IoT Studio: A hands-on testing ground,
where Ericsson engineers will roll up their sleeves and put
connected technology to the test.
- D-15 Labs: A 5G testbed where service
providers and partners will pressure test the multi-layered
networks that are at the heart of the 5G experience and enable the
promising technologies of the future like self-driving cars and the
Industrial Internet of Things.
