Ericsson and Google Cloud team up to deliver carrier-grade 5G core as-a-service built with AI at the foundation
Ericsson On-Demand delivers a significant shift in how core network services are deployed, managed and scaled
Provisions core services in minutes, allowing Communication Service Providers (CSPs) to scale effortlessly and pay only for what is used
Combines telecom-grade reliability with public cloud flexibility, for smaller core deployments
STOCKHOLM, June 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) today announces the launch of Ericsson On-Demand, a new solution delivering core network services as a true software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform to communications service providers (CSPs).
The platform is designed with Google Cloud, leveraging AI infrastructure and Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) - and is managed end-to-end by Ericsson. The solution will help CSPs to quickly set up and grow core network services, cut operating costs and gain business flexibility with a fully managed, cloud-native platform.
At a time when CSPs are under growing pressure to innovate at speed and scale while managing increasing operational complexity, Ericsson On-Demand offers a radical step-change in agility and efficiency. The platform deploys full core in minutes, scales up or down as needed, and allows CSPs to only pay for what they use. Customers also don't have to worry about managing the underlying infrastructure.
Key features of Ericsson On-Demand include:
Provisioning in minutes: Launch core network services rapidly without lengthy deployment cycles.
Elastic scale: Instantaneously scale-up capacity to meet peak demands with no upfront capex or overprovisioning.
Cost-effective and transparent pricing: Consumption-based billing with no infrastructure or licensing fees.
Ability to quickly innovate: Allows CSPs to innovate at cloud pace and expand globally
Fully managed operations: Powered by Ericsson's 24/7 Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) teams with AI-assisted troubleshooting and lifecycle automation, further reducing time-to-resolution and operational overhead.
Built-in security & control: Geo-restricted deployments, identity and access management (IAM) policies, and cloud-native firewalls.
Powered by the same Ericsson developers that delivers mobile connectivity to billions of users worldwide - and built on Google Cloud - Ericsson On-Demand combines telecom-grade reliability with public cloud flexibility. The platform leverages GKE to simplify and improve network availability, in addition to Google Cloud's full stack AI infrastructure which is available globally across 42 cloud regions and more than two million miles of terrestrial and subsea fiber. This will further enable CSPs to operate with the resilience, availability, and compliance their customers expect.
Ericsson On-Demand also helps CSPs add new features to their current systems bit-by-bit, without causing any downtime. Its secure-by-design architecture meets evolving compliance and sovereignty requirements, offering deployment options around the world.
Whether enabling wide-area enterprise networks, accelerating fixed wireless access (FWA) rollouts, or testing new markets, On-Demand empowers CSPs to move from idea to execution with unprecedented speed.
Eric Parsons, VP Head of Emerging Segments, Cloud Software and Services, Ericsson, says: "Ericsson On-Demand, is more than a product, it's an enabler of ambition. Today's CTOs must move fast, scale smart, and lead their organizations into new commercial territory. On-Demand removes the risk and complexity holding them back. It gives them the agility to outpace market change, the confidence to innovate without compromise, and the clarity to seize opportunities that were previously just out of reach. Choosing On-Demand is a bold signal of leadership, and a commitment to future-ready growth."
Muninder Singh Sambi, vice president and general manager of Networking and Security, Google Cloud, says: "With Ericsson On-Demand on Google Cloud's AI infrastructure, CSPs can rapidly deploy 5G core and tap into new revenue streams. This partnership with Ericsson isn't just about technology; it's about building the AI-driven telecom of tomorrow for our customers."

Ethereum Treasury Firm SharpLink Gaming Plunges 70% – But There May Be a Twist
SharpLink Gaming (SBET), a Nasdaq-listed company that is pursuing an ether ETH treasury strategy, tumbled 70% on Thursday in after-hours trading following a fresh filing to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The company submitted an S-3ASR registration statement, enabling the resale of up to 58,699,760 shares related to its private investment in public equity (PIPE) financing. The Thursday filing allows more than 100 shareholders in the PIPE round to sell their shares, effectively flooding the market and triggering a post-close sell-off, Charles Allen, CEO of BTCS, a publicly-traded firm that's pursuing crypto reserve strategy, explained in an X post and an interview with CoinDesk. The company raised $450 million earlier this month through a PIPE round from a wide range of investors, including ConsenSys, Galaxy, and Pantera Capital, to acquire ETH for its treasury. Ethereum co-founder and ConsenSys CEO Joseph Lubin also joined the firm as board chairman. However, there may be a larger strategy behind the latest move. Allen said in an X post that he thinks the company may have quietly raised up to $1 billion to buy more ETH using an at-the-market (ATM) offering that was previously announced in a May 30 SEC filing. "If they played cards right, they would expect a surprise PR tomorrow with $1B of ETH purchases, which could light the match to reignite the stock," he said. ETH is down 4.1% over the past 24 hours at around $2,650 as bitcoin and the broader crypto markets slid.

Hooker Furnishings Corp (NASDAQ:HOFT) reduced its operating loss by $1.6 million or 31% compared to the previous year, reflecting successful cost reduction initiatives. The company improved gross margins by 190 basis points, driven by better margins at Home Meridian and Domestic Upholstery. Hooker Branded achieved breakeven for the quarter, and Domestic Upholstery and Home Meridian significantly reduced their operating losses by 55% and 17%, respectively. The new Vietnam warehouse is expected to enhance supply chain efficiency, reducing lead times from about six months to four to six weeks, with positive initial customer feedback. The company anticipates achieving approximately $25 million in annualized savings by the next fiscal year through its multipronged cost reduction strategy. Consolidated net sales decreased by $8.3 million or 8.8% compared to the same period last year, primarily due to a double-digit sales decrease at Home Meridian. The home furnishings industry is facing challenges due to persistent softness in the housing market, higher mortgage rates, and declining consumer sentiment. Import tariffs have sharply curtailed demand in the mid-price segment, impacting Home Meridian's sales. The company recorded a net loss of $3.1 million or $0.29 per diluted share, although this was an improvement from the prior year's first quarter. Uncertainties around import tariffs, particularly for products sourced from Vietnam, continue to create significant uncertainty and impact consumer confidence. Q: Can you comment on the cadence of shipments from February through April, particularly after Liberation Day? A: The cadence changed drastically due to tariffs, affecting the HMI customer more than the Hooker Branded and Domestic Upholstery side of our business. - Jeremy Hoff, CEO Q: What drove the higher orders at Hooker Legacy brands in May, and any updates on HMI since April? A: The increase is due to our broadened merchandising strategy with collected living, which is starting to show positive effects. For HMI, there's still significant uncertainty due to tariffs, particularly with the upcoming July 9 date. - Jeremy Hoff, CEO Q: How will the cost savings initiatives progress for the rest of the year? A: We expect about $2.5 million less in costs compared to last year due to Phase 1. Phase 2 initiatives will have a $250,000 positive impact in Q2, with significant savings expected in Q4, around $3.5 million. - Earl Armstrong, CFO Q: What are your capital allocation priorities after dividends and debt? Could there be share buybacks? A: Strengthening the balance sheet is our top priority, followed by dividends. We have no current plans for share buybacks. - Jeremy Hoff, CEO Q: Do you expect the strong May performance to continue throughout the year, and how will seasonality affect revenue? A: Historically, the second half is stronger than the first. While May was strong, it's uncertain if this momentum will continue throughout the year. - Jeremy Hoff, CEO For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript.

Q: What are the key strategic decisions made recently, and how do they impact the company's operations? A: Julien Lederman, CBO: We have discontinued several products that did not deliver sufficient ROI, saving around $20 million annually. This reflects our ability to make impactful decisions quickly. We are focused on product rationalization and operating model optimization to ensure competitive advantage and high margins. Q: How is Nano Dimension approaching post-merger integration with Markforged? A: Ofir Baharav, CEO: We are focused on product rationalization and operating model optimization. We aim to ensure our solutions have a competitive advantage and deliver ROI. We are reducing expenses, breaking down silos, and creating a flatter organization to innovate and deliver value efficiently. Q: What are the strategic foundations of Markforged that Nano Dimension is building upon? A: Ofir Baharav, CEO: Markforged has a leading software platform, FFF technology adopted on factory floors, and a metal binder jetting solution for high-performance metal parts. We are shifting to strategic sales and reducing operating expenses to enhance these strengths. For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript.
