MONTREAL – Ericsson officially unveiled its new Global Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Center in Vaudreuil-Dorion, QC on Friday, designed to spur development of the next generation of cloud infrastructure and services.
The site, which covers 20,000 square meters, is the third Ericsson Global ICT Center, following the opening of the Global ICT Centers in Linköping, Sweden in September 2014, and Rosersberg, Sweden in January 2016.
The company said that the location enables more than 20,000 R&D engineers globally to accelerate innovation cycles, reduce costs and better support its customers. The new facility supports engineering on virtual platforms with global test labs and IT hubs connected via a single virtual environment, allowing Ericsson to host 5G development under one roof.
“With the opening of our third Global ICT Center today in Vaudreuil-Dorion, joining the first two in Linkoping and Rosersberg in Sweden, Ericsson is now in a unique position to deliver our technology expertise to customers across the world faster than ever before”, said head of engineering IT and test environments Martin Johansson, in the news release. “Our current test environments are spread across more than 50 locations worldwide. These new state-of-the-art facilities allow seamless collaboration across borders in a 24/7, online R&D environment."
