Ericsson announced an expansion of its Ericsson Intelligent Automation Platform (EIAP), adding support for core network automation to its existing capabilities. The update extends the company's open, multi-vendor automation tools from the Radio Access Network (RAN) domain to include core networks, creating a unified platform for both areas.
The company states that this evolution is designed to accelerate the Autonomous Networks transformation for Communication Service Providers (CSPs). By combining RAN and core automation into a single system, Ericsson says the platform empowers operators to streamline their operations and optimize costs.
According to the announcement, the expanded platform aims to deliver a more resilient and higher-performing core network. The goal is to enable CSPs to provide a premium experience for their customers through these automated improvements.
The announcement was published on July 6, 2026. Specific details regarding pricing, implementation timelines, or specific customer deployments were not provided in the source material.
Ericsson is a telecommunications equipment company headquartered in Sweden. The company has previously focused its automation efforts on the radio access portion of network infrastructure, and this move represents a shift toward integrating those tools with core network management.
