Based in Ericsson's D-15 facility in Santa Clara, the new facility called Ericsson-Intel Tech Hub is already operational. Its current focus areas include activities in power management and performance planned this year, as well as joint work on Cloud, RAN containerized network function (CNF)* applications on upcoming generations of processing platforms.

The Ericsson-Intel Tech Hub will augment existing R&D work for both companies with multi-year product design efforts, enabling communications service providers to better plan their future roadmaps and offerings, Ericsson said in a media release on Tuesday.

Commenting on this development, Dan Rodriguez, Corporate Vice President and General Manager, Network Platforms Group at Intel, said, "The transformation to fully virtualized, cloud-native-based networks brings tremendous innovation and agility, and is now extending to the RAN. The Tech Hub will provide a venue for Ericsson and Intel to extend our collaboration and showcase how a virtualized RAN can deliver greater levels of automation, agility and sustainability."
