Swedish telecom equipment giant Ericsson has announced its intention to set up a research and development (R&D) centre in Chennai and a global services delivery centre (GSDC) in New Delhi, as well as upgrade its GSM radio base station manufacturing facility in Rajasthan. The company is also looking at increasing its head count in the country. While the company did not disclose the financial details of the investments, it said it would be investing “hundreds of millions of dollars” every year in the country. The company’s new R&D centre will conduct research in cutting-edge technologies such as service layer and value-added services, while the GSDC will strengthen its managed services offering in India.
