Ericsson advances local antenna ecosystem in India with first export-ready antennas for high-.......
Unveiled at an event attended by India’s Union Minister for
Communications and Development of North Eastern Region, Jyotiraditya M.
Scindia, the new antenna is ready for commercial release in June, with
international shipments starting in July.
Ericsson is expanding
its passive antenna manufacturing and engineering ecosystem in
India—building an end-to-end capability that includes local sourcing,
production, and engineering, with solutions specifically designed to meet
global and Indian network requirements. Ericsson began this journey one year
ago with a focused effort to build out the local ecosystem and establish
component and antenna manufacturing in India.
With more
than 50 percent of antenna content now produced locally, Ericsson is entering
the next phase: evolving its India-based engineering capabilities to support
regional adaptation, accelerate innovation, and scale with global demand.
Ericsson’s
advanced passive antennas are at the forefront of next generation 5G
infrastructure. As network requirements continually evolve to meet the needs of
communications service providers, antennas are critical in helping them realize
the full potential of their network, ensuring high performance, energy
efficiency, and the best total cost of ownership.
“We are
committed to building an end-to-end antenna ecosystem in India—one that
includes local sourcing, production, and engineering,” says Mikael Eriksson,
Head of Ericsson Antenna System, Ericsson. “This is a long-term investment in
capability, talent, and technology. Our advanced passive antennas play a vital
role in the evolution of 5G networks globally, and with our growing local
presence, we can deliver future-ready solutions that meet the changing needs of
our customers.
By growing
its local engineering ecosystem, Ericsson is enabling deeper collaboration with
Indian R&D partners, and stronger integration with a rapidly maturing
supplier base.
Nitin
Bansal, Managing Director, Ericsson India, says: “India is rapidly emerging as
a global hub for high-tech manufacturing and innovation. Ericsson’s investment
in local production and engineering not only strengthens India’s telecom
infrastructure but also contributes to building a resilient, future-ready
ecosystem. Ericsson’s advanced ‘Made in India’ antennas will cater to both
domestic and global demand.”
Antennas
produced in India will adhere to Ericsson’s rigorous global standards for
quality and performance, ensuring they meet the needs of both domestic
operators and international customers.
