Ericsson Launches On-Demand SaaS Platform for CSPs
Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) has announced the launch of Ericsson On-Demand. This new solution delivers core network services as a true software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform for communications service providers (CSPs). The platform was developed with Google Cloud, using AI infrastructure and Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). Ericsson manages it end-to-end.
The company reported that Ericsson On-Demand helps CSPs quickly set up and expand core network services. It also cuts operating costs and offers business flexibility with a fully managed, cloud-native platform. As CSPs face pressure to innovate rapidly while managing operational complexity, Ericsson On-Demand provides greater agility and efficiency.
The platform deploys a full core network in minutes and can scale up or down based on demand. CSPs only pay for what they use, without worrying about managing the underlying infrastructure. Key features include: Rapid provisioning of core network services without lengthy deployment cycles
Elastic scaling to handle peak demand with no upfront capital expenses
Consumption-based billing with no infrastructure or licensing fees
Ericsson On-Demand is powered by Ericsson's 24/7 Site Reliability Engineering teams. These teams use AI-assisted troubleshooting and lifecycle automation to reduce operational overhead. The platform also includes built-in security and control, such as geo-restricted deployments and identity and access management (IAM) policies.
Built on Google Cloud, Ericsson On-Demand combines telecom-grade reliability with public cloud flexibility. It leverages Google Cloud's AI infrastructure available in 42 regions worldwide. Ericsson stated this ensures network resilience, availability, and compliance to meet customer expectations.
The solution supports incremental feature additions without downtime. Its secure architecture meets evolving compliance and sovereignty needs. Ericsson highlighted use cases including wide-area enterprise networks, fixed wireless access rollouts, and market testing. The platform enables CSPs to move from idea to execution with speed.
Eric Parsons, VP Head of Emerging Segments at Ericsson, said Ericsson On-Demand removes risk and complexity. He added that it allows CTOs to innovate fast and scale smartly. Muninder Singh Sambi, VP at Google Cloud, noted the partnership will help CSPs rapidly deploy 5G core networks and unlock new revenue streams.
This launch signals Ericsson's commitment to future-ready growth and innovation in telecom.

Stock market today: U.S. bearish as Nasdaq drops 1.5 percent ahead of Fed meeting, European and Asian markets decline
Global stock markets exhibited mixed movements on Wednesday amid ongoing investor caution ahead of key economic data and central bank speeches later this week. Markets worldwide are navigating a mix of cautious optimism driven by geopolitical developments and awaited economic policy signals, balanced against the headwinds from a recent tech selloff and softer trade data. All eyes remain on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's upcoming remarks, which are expected to provide critical guidance on the future path of U.S. monetary policy amid speculation of a rate cut in September. U.S. markets show bearish trend The U.S. markets on Tuesday showed a predominantly bearish tone as the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite declined by 1.5 percent to close at 21,314.95, dragged down by significant losses in mega-cap technology stocks such as Nvidia , which fell 3.5 percent. The S&P 500 also slipped 0.6 percent, finishing at 6,411.37, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average edged slightly higher by less than 0.1 percent to close at 44,922.27, supported by strong performances in retail and industrial sectors including Home Depot. Overall, the market mood was cautious, with investors awaiting the Federal Reserve's July meeting minutes and the highly anticipated speech by Fed Chair Jerome Powell scheduled for Friday. Futures trading on Tuesday night indicated minor fluctuations, with S&P 500 futures little changed and Nasdaq futures down 0.2 percent in early Wednesday Asian hours, suggesting a cautious stance ahead of the data releases. Read more | Stock market today: U.S. indexes fluctuate as Europe shows resilience and Asia rises amid trade talks European markets open lower after five-month high Meanwhile, European stock markets started the day with a slight downward bias after reaching a five-month high on Tuesday, fueled by optimism over diplomatic progress towards peace between Russia and Ukraine. The pan-European STOXX 600 index gained 0.7 percent on Tuesday to 558 points, while the Eurozone's STOXX 50 closed up 0.9 percent at 5,486. However, early Wednesday indications suggested an off-peak opening, with the UK's FTSE expected to open 0.18 percent lower, Germany's DAX down 0.6 percent, France's CAC 40 down 0.56 percent, and Italy's FTSE MIB down 0.56 percent. The Tuesday rally was led by consumer discretionary and automobile sectors, with companies such as LVMH and Kering climbing 3 percent, and Stellantis and Mercedes-Benz up by 3.2 percent and 2.7 percent, respectively. Defensive stocks like defense contractors pulled back on peace optimism. European investors remain focused on geopolitical developments and key inflation data releasing this week. Asian markets decline amid U.S. tech selloff Asian markets opened lower on Wednesday, tracking the tech-led selloff in the U.S. and reflecting weak trade data out of Japan. Japan's Nikkei 225 declined 0.93 percent, and the Topix index fell 0.31 percent, with South Korea's Kospi plunging 1.52 percent and the Kosdaq down about 1 percent. Japan's July export data showed a year-over-year drop of 2.6 percent, the steepest in over four years, which exacerbated the negative sentiment. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index lost 0.3 percent, and Hong Kong stocks were also under pressure despite a strong first-half profit report from the Hong Kong Exchange operator, which saw a nearly 40 percent profit surge to a record HK$8.52 billion fueled by robust trading volumes and listings activity. Futures for Hong Kong's Hang Seng were down slightly to 24,977 from the previous close of 25,123. Investors in Asia remained cautious ahead of the Chinese central bank's loan prime rate decision and awaited additional trade data expected later in the week.
