Think of this as turning the power grid into a ‘smart internet of energy’ where 5G connects all the equipment and AI acts like a traffic controller, constantly balancing where electricity should go, when to store it, and how to avoid waste or outages.
Traditional energy systems are rigid, wasteful, and hard to manage as more renewables come online. Ericsson’s 5G + AI + digitalization approach aims to make grids and energy networks more flexible, efficient, and automated—reducing carbon emissions while improving reliability and cutting operating costs.
Deep integration of telecom-grade 5G infrastructure with industrial IoT and energy-domain solutions, plus existing relationships with utilities, grid operators, and regulators give Ericsson a defensible position versus pure-play software vendors.
Hybrid
Time-Series DB
High (Custom Models/Infra)
Real-time ingestion and analysis of massive time-series data streams from millions of grid-connected IoT devices under strict reliability and latency constraints.
Early Majority
Positioned at the intersection of telecom and energy, leveraging 5G network capabilities, edge computing, and AI in an integrated stack tailored for grid operators and energy companies rather than generic IoT or analytics platforms.
