Today, Ericsson has announced its third quarter results, despite a challenging market, we have maintained profitability and strengthened our financial position. The Ericsson Networks business remains a key driver of performance. Networks sales reached SEK 35.4 billion, with an adjusted gross margin of 50.1%. R&D investment remained stable, supporting the strategy and maintaining our technology leadership position. Looking ahead, Ericsson expects the RAN market to remain stable, with Networks sales growth in Q4, anticipated to be in line with historical seasonality. In parallel, I am also proud to say that today we’ve announced a major five-year partnership with Vodafone to modernize its network footprint, using Ericsson’s Network solutions across six key markets. This means we will be Vodafone’s sole RAN vendor in Ireland, Netherlands, and Portugal, and primary vendor in Germany, Romania, and Egypt.  This collaboration will enable Vodafone to deploy Open RAN-compatible Massive MIMO radios, RAN Compute solutions, and 5G Advanced software capabilities, laying the foundation for differentiated connectivity and intelligent, sustainable network operations. These developments underscore our commitment to building the networks of the future — networks that are not only high-performing and efficient, but also open, intelligent, and ready to support the evolving needs of our customers and their users. ➡️ Read the full Q3 2025 report here: https://lnkd.in/dHRjVajU ➡️ Check our partnership with Vodafone here: https://lnkd.in/dxHpEH8S #TeamEricsson Börje Ekholm Jenny Lindqvist Patrick Johansson

Finnish Electronics Retailer Gigantti Prepares for MVNO Venture Finnish electronics retailer Gigantti Oy, is taking steps into the telecommunications sector with the establishment of a new mobile virtual network operator (#MVNO), Giga Mobiili. The Finnish Transport and Communications Agency, Traficom, officially granted Giga Mobiili Oy, a telecommunications operator identification number on February 7, 2025, validating its entry into the Finnish market: https://lnkd.in/gf9FwgfX Niko Sandström, CEO of Gigantti, confirmed the venture to Iltalehti, stating, "We have indeed founded a new company, Giga Mobiili, at the beginning of the year to explore opportunities to expand our service offering." Sandström emphasized that Giga Mobiili will operate as an independent limited company with its own dedicated executive management. Giga Mobiili's core business, as outlined in Traficom's decision and the Commercial Register, is the establishment and maintenance of an Mobile Virtual Network Operator in the Finnish market. While the approval from Traficom and the nature of the business are now public, Sandström remains tight-lipped about which network #GigaMobiili will ultimately utilize. "We are currently taking the first steps in designing the service and products, and we will share more about it as the plans progress," he stated. The corporate information for Giga Mobiili Oy reveals the strategic importance of this new venture to Gigantti's parent company, Elkjøp Nordic. Fredrik Tønnesen CEO of Elkjøp Nordic, currently serves as the sole member on Giga Mobiili Oy's board of directors. Gigantti is Finland's largest retailer of consumer electronics and home appliances, founded in 1998 and headquartered in Helsinki. It is part of the Nordic Elkjøp Group, which is owned by Currys PLC., a leading technology retailer in the UK and Ireland, who operates the MVNO iD Mobile. Gigantti offers a wide range of products including entertainment systems, telecommunications, and kitchen solutions. It operate 42 stores across Finland, alongside a strong online presence with an annual revenue of approximately €550 million and around 1,500 employees. https://lnkd.in/gtsbPcc7

5G power up workflows for professional still photography The value of connecting Broadcast cameras over 5G has started to gain traction in advanced 5G markets, but what about sports photography? 📷 Last week, 3 Sverige, Sony, and Ericsson gave Bildbyrån new sports photography tools for covering the soccer game between Djurgårdens IF Fotboll and Hammarby Fotboll AB in Stockholm. 28,333 fans attended the game live, and other fans received access to still photography from the game in real-time. What I find fascinating with this development is that 5G has the potential to eliminate all lag in the post-production flow: 1️⃣ The lag from taking the picture until it can be sent 2️⃣ The lag from taking the picture until it has been post-processed 3️⃣ The lag from taking the picture until it has been published. This used to be a process where we eliminated the development stage by moving from film to digital, but with a remaining lag between taking and publishing pictures. By equipping photographers with a 5G data transmitter, you can now upload images to cloud storage as soon as they are taken, and an editor, different from the photographer, can edit them and publish instantly. Enjoy reading about this exciting use case for 5G uplink capabilities and the role it can play in taking professional still photography to the next level. #5G #5GSA #NetworkSlicing #Photography #Innovation https://lnkd.in/gyUYsM3B Peter Dahlberg | Joel Marklund | Issa Al-Fanek, MASc | Michael Axelsson | Arturo Vega

Robust communication beyond cellular… For more than 30 years, I have relied on SATEL Oy radios in ultra-critical communication scenarios. Most of these deployments would today be classified as Intranet of Things solutions—systems where communication never reaches the public internet and never passes through a conventional cellular base station, yet still delivers low and predictable latency. For specialized use cases and high-reliability environments, there are few alternatives that can match this level of determinism and resilience. #iot #robustcommunication #satel #induo
