India, Nov. 14 -- Swedish telecom equipment manufacturer Ericsson has established a new research and development (R&D) facility in Bengaluru, aimed primarily at accelerating the development of 5G in India. The facility focuses on Radio Access Network (RAN) software and reflects Ericsson's increased investment in the country.

Ericsson stated that its initial priority at the new centre will be the development of 5G and 5G Advanced features for the Ericsson 5G baseband. Bengaluru, recognised as one of India's major talent hubs, is well known for its skilled workforce, particularly in software engineering, and hosts several international telecom companies. It is therefore considered a strategic location for the company's expansion.
