To date, Ericsson has deployed solutions to mobile and wireline operators as well as extensively large enterprise solutions for a wide-range of government organizations and industry partners including the Central Bank of the RF
"Our history is important but even more exciting is our future, enabling the Networked Society across Russia and its neighbors," says Robert Puskaric, head of Ericsson Region Northern Europe and Central Asia. "Every third mobile call in Russia is supported by an Ericsson solution, and Ericsson switches serve more than 40% of all national and international telephone traffic in Russia.
"In addition, our work in the Skolkovo Innovation Center is an extension of our commitment to the region’s development and lays groundwork for rich innovation and partnership in the ICT arena," Puskaric concluded.
The Skolkovo Project entails the creation of a project-oriented Ericsson research and development (R&D) center and support for further development of Skolkovo's R&D infrastructure through the establishment of an Ericsson Networked Society Lab. It involves collaboration with the Skolkovo University of T echnology and support to develop an efficient regulatory environment.
Other recent deals include an agreement with the Russian technology company SFERA to share technology for emergency call and coordination services in the Russian market
The Nobel brothers, Ludvig and Branobel, bought an exchange for ten lines and a bit more for their oil company’s offices in Petersburg, Baku and Zaritsin. Ten years later, Ericsson opened its first office in St. Petersburg in 1897.
Just twenty years ago, Ericsson helped facilitate the birth of mobile communication in Russia. In 1991, then-Saint Petersburg Mayor Anatoly Sobchak made Russia’s first mobile telephone call to then-Seattle Mayor Norman Rice.
Today there are about 400 employees in three offices: Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Krasnoyarsk.
