Telecom equipment major Ericsson said it is hiring engineers to work on Network APIs at its India R&D centers.
Ericsson did not reveal the number of engineers it will be hiring to work on Network APIs at its India R&D centers.
Ericsson has engineering teams at R&D sites in Chennai, Bengaluru and Gurugram working across telecom domains spanning Transport, Packet Core, OSS, BSS, Cloud and advanced AI technologies. The Ericsson 6G Research teams in India are working on several advanced technologies.
Recently, Ericsson announced a venture with telecom operators, including Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio, to combine and sell APIs on a global scale to boost innovation in digital services.
Andres Vicente, Head of Southeast Asia, Oceania and India, Ericsson says, “We are stepping up the work on AI, Gen AI and Network APIs at our R&D Centers in India.” The R&D teams will work on developing programmable/API capabilities to support simplified and secure network interfaces, and advanced use cases, including Device Management, Security, and Fraud Detection.
Ericsson has integrated AI into its product and service offerings, implementing AI solutions in customer networks to address challenges in network planning, deployment and operations. This has significantly shortened the time it takes to perform tasks such as network monitoring and troubleshooting.
India R&D Centre is involved in the development of Ericsson’s Gen AI platform called Ericsson Language Intelligence (ELI) that includes large language models optimized for telecom use cases.
Ericsson has conducted GenAI driven Network Autonomy demo at the India Mobile Congress. The brain inspired AI demo shows how it is possible to significantly reduce AI compute energy consumption in future 6G networks. The robotic dog demo highlights how AI, Robotics and 5G can be used together to ensure safety in enterprises, for example, against fire hazard or any intrusion.
