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.
