Key Takeaways
ERIC unveils Ericsson On-Demand, a SaaS core network solution built with Google Cloud.
The platform enables CSPs to launch full networks in minutes and scale with zero upfront costs.
Main features include AI-driven automation, real-time scaling and telecom-grade cloud reliability.
Ericsson (ERIC - Free Report) has unveiled Ericsson On-Demand, an innovative solution that delivers core network services through a true software-as-a-service (SaaS) model. Designed in collaboration with Google Cloud, this platform harnesses the power of Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) and Google’s AI infrastructure to offer communications service providers (CSPs) a fully managed, cloud-native solution. Ericsson On-Demand enables CSPs to rapidly deploy and scale their core networks, reduce operational expenses and gain the agility needed in today’s dynamic telecom landscape.
As CSPs face growing pressure to innovate at speed while navigating complex operations, Ericsson On-Demand marks a significant leap forward. The platform can launch a full core network within minutes, scale elastically based on demand and operate on a pay-as-you-use basis, eliminating the need for upfront capital investment or overprovisioning. With Ericsson managing the entire infrastructure, CSPs can focus on innovation and customer experience without being burdened by backend complexities.
Key capabilities include ultra-fast provisioning, real-time elastic scaling, consumption-based transparent pricing and seamless integration of new features without service disruption. The solution is backed by Ericsson’s 24/7 Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) teams, offering AI-powered lifecycle automation, proactive troubleshooting and built-in security measures such as geo-restricted deployments, identity and access management (IAM) policies and cloud-native firewalls. What sets Ericsson On-Demand apart is its blend of telecom-grade reliability with the flexibility of the public cloud. Built on the same engineering expertise that powers global mobile networks and deployed on Google Cloud’s vast infrastructure—spanning 42 regions and more than 2 million miles of fiber—it ensures high availability, compliance and scalability. CSPs also gain the ability to grow gradually by layering new capabilities over existing systems without any downtime, adhering to evolving data sovereignty and regulatory standards.
Ericsson On-Demand empowers CSPs to go from concept to execution faster than ever, whether rolling out fixed wireless access (FWA), launching wide-area enterprise services or entering new markets.
Ericsson highlighted that Ericsson On-Demand is not just a product but a catalyst for ambition. Management stated that On-Demand strips away complexity, enabling it to lead confidently into new territories, outpace market shifts and realize opportunities that were once out of reach.
