NEW DELHI: Aligning with ‘Make in India’ initiative, Swedish tech major Ericsson has announced the setting up of antenna manufacturing in India in collaboration with homegrown company VVDN Technologies, reported IANS.
By June this year, it will localise 100 per cent of ‘Ericsson Antenna System (EAS) passive antenna’ production for the Indian market.
This strategic investment enables faster time-to-market, deeper collaboration with local partners, and greater adaptability to customer needs – all while supporting the broader vision of India’s digital transformation, the company said in a statement.
“At Ericsson, antennas are critical, serving as the entry point to enhanced network performance and innovation,” said Mikael Eriksson, Head of Ericsson Antenna System. “Expanding in India strengthens our ability to deliver cutting-edge technology at speed, closer to where our customers are building next-generation networks,” he added.
The initiative supports India’s rapid 5G rollout and bolsters Ericsson’s ability to respond with greater agility to evolving market needs – both regionally and globally. The move also reinforces EAS’s role in building highperforming mobile networks. This initiative adds India to Ericsson’s global manufacturing footprint– which already includes facilities in Mexico, Romania, and China – further diversifying and future-proofing the company’s supply network.
