Ericsson inaugurated its Global Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Center in Vaudreuil-Dorion, Quebec. The new data center follows the opening of the Global ICT Centers in Linköping, Sweden in September 2014, and Rosersberg, Sweden in January 2016.
Ericsson said the new facility, which covers 20,000 square meters, allows it to emulate an operator’s mobile network and to test new solutions as if they were running on a live network. The Global ICT Centers will use the Ericsson Hyperscale Datacenter System 8000.
Martin Johansson, Head of Engineering IT and Test Environments, Ericsson, says: “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. 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.”
