Ericsson<\/a> has been named a 2026 Google Cloud Partner of the Year Award winner for Telecommunications. The recognition also marks its fourth consecutive win. It highlights Ericsson\u2019s innovation with Google Cloud in building a cloud-native, AI-powered ecosystem for Communications Service Providers. This helps CSPs innovate faster, scale efficiently, and manage growing operational complexity. Ultimately, it supports the journey toward network autonomy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Razvan Teslaru, Head of Strategy, Cloud Software and Services at Ericsson<\/a>, said the award validates the shared vision with Google Cloud. He added that the partnership is reshaping how networks are built, operated, and monetized in the AI era. Furthermore, he noted that combining Ericsson\u2019s telecom expertise with Google Cloud\u2019s AI and cloud capabilities delivers strong business value and a clear path toward fully autonomous networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Kevin Ichhpurani, President, Global Partner Ecosystem and Channels at Google Cloud, said the Partner Awards recognize strategic innovation and measurable customer value. He also noted that Ericsson has played a key role in driving customer success over the past year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, Ericsson and Google Cloud delivered industry-first innovation through a 5G core as-a-service model. The solution combines telecom-grade reliability with public cloud flexibility. It culminated in the launch of Ericsson On-Demand. The platform is designed with Google Cloud using Google Kubernetes Engine and AI infrastructure. It is fully managed end-to-end by Ericsson. This enables CSPs to deploy and scale core network services quickly and efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, Ericsson is advancing autonomous network operations through stronger data governance foundations. It manages around 800,000 telecom sites globally. Dataplex Universal Catalog supports unified data governance, metadata discovery, and automated lineage tracking. The company\u2019s data operating model now governs enterprise-wide policies, roles, and processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, Ericsson\u2019s managed services networks business has undergone large-scale migration to Google Cloud. This shift moves operations away from traditional data centers toward a cloud-native model. It improves agility, resilience, and performance. The use of Google Cloud\u2019s AI-optimized infrastructure, including TPUs and GPUs, has strengthened security and continuity. As a result, performance and protection now exceed legacy environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the next phase, Ericsson plans to integrate generative AI, policy-driven controls, and data fabric principles. This will ensure secure, transparent, and high-quality data products across its ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In conclusion, Ericsson continues to strengthen its leadership in telecom transformation through deep cloud and AI collaboration. The recognition as Google Cloud Partner of the Year Award underscores Ericsson\u2019s role in shaping the future of autonomous networks and cloud-native telecommunications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
