• Ericsson On-Demand is a game changer for deploying, managing, and scaling core network services.
• It allows Communication Service Providers (CSPs) to provision core services rapidly, scale easily, and only pay for the resources they consume.
• It delivers telecom-grade reliability alongside the flexibility of a public cloud, suitable for smaller core deployments.

STOCKHOLM, June 12, 2025 — Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) has announced Ericsson On-Demand, a novel solution providing core network services to communications service providers (CSPs) as a genuine software-as-a-service (SaaS) offering.

Developed with Google Cloud, the platform utilizes AI infrastructure and Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) and is fully managed by Ericsson. The solution enables CSPs to quickly establish and expand core network services, reduce operational expenses, and achieve greater business flexibility through a fully managed, cloud-native platform.

In an era where CSPs face increasing pressure to innovate rapidly and at scale while dealing with growing operational complexity, Ericsson On-Demand represents a significant leap in agility and efficiency. The platform can deploy a complete core network in minutes, scale resources up or down as required, and enables CSPs to pay only for the resources they utilize. Furthermore, customers are relieved of the responsibility of managing the underlying infrastructure.

Key features of Ericsson On-Demand include:

• Rapid Provisioning: Quickly launch core network services, eliminating long deployment times.
• Elastic Scaling: Instantly increase capacity to handle peak demands without upfront capital expenditure or overprovisioning.
• Cost-Effective and Transparent Pricing: Benefit from consumption-based billing, free from infrastructure or licensing fees.
• Accelerated Innovation: Enables CSPs to innovate at cloud speed and expand their reach globally.
• Fully Managed Operations: Leverages Ericsson’s 24/7 Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) teams, incorporating AI-assisted troubleshooting and lifecycle automation, which shortens resolution times and lowers operational costs.
• Integrated Security & Control: Features geo-restricted deployments, identity and access management (IAM) policies, and cloud-native firewalls.

Powered by the same Ericsson engineers responsible for providing mobile connectivity to billions globally, and built on Google Cloud, Ericsson On-Demand combines carrier-grade reliability with the adaptability of a public cloud. The platform utilizes GKE to streamline and improve network availability, alongside Google Cloud’s comprehensive AI infrastructure, accessible globally across 42 cloud regions and over two million miles of terrestrial and subsea fiber. This setup allows CSPs to operate with the resilience, availability, and compliance expected by their customers.

Ericsson On-Demand also supports CSPs in integrating new features into their existing systems incrementally, without causing service interruptions. Its secure-by-design architecture complies with changing compliance and sovereignty standards, providing deployment options worldwide.

Whether it’s supporting wide-area enterprise networks, speeding up fixed wireless access (FWA) deployments, or testing new markets, On-Demand allows CSPs to transition from concept to implementation with unmatched speed.

Eric Parsons, VP Head of Emerging Segments, Cloud Software and Services, Ericsson, stated: “Ericsson On-Demand is more than just a product; it’s a catalyst for ambition. Today’s CTOs must be agile, scale efficiently, and guide their organizations into new commercial domains. On-Demand eliminates the risks and complexities that hinder their progress, providing the agility to stay ahead of market changes, the confidence to innovate freely, and the clarity to capitalize on previously unattainable opportunities. Adopting On-Demand signals strong leadership and a dedication to future growth.”

Muninder Singh Sambi, vice president and general manager of Networking and Security, Google Cloud, commented: “With Ericsson On-Demand running on Google Cloud’s AI infrastructure, CSPs can quickly implement 5G core networks and unlock new revenue streams. This collaboration with Ericsson goes beyond technology; it aims to construct the AI-driven telecom infrastructure of the future for our clients.”
