The production of Ericsson\u2019s global 5G radio equipment in Malaysia is our additional socioeconomic contribution to the country and marks the latest in a broad range of initiatives to bring our global experiences, expertise, and insights to Malaysia in support of the government\u2019s ambition to be a digital leader.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMalaysia is an important market for Ericsson and domestic manufacturing in Malaysia will contribute to the local economy through employment and the transfer of technical knowledge to the local workforce in areas such as manufacturing, product engineering and equipment testing\u201d, adds H\u00e4gerbro.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The resulting technology leadership has seen Ericsson recently topping the Frost Radar: Global 5G Network Infrastructure Market ranking for the third year in a row. It was also named a Leader in the 2023 Magic Quadrant for 5G Network Infrastructure for Communications Service Providers report by Gartner, also the third year in a row that Ericsson has earned this recognition from the independent research and advisory firm.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to delivering a world-class 5G network, the selection of Malaysia for manufacturing also increases Ericsson\u2019s socio-economic contribution to the country. Malaysia already hosts a Global Maintenance Center in Bukit Jelutong, which is one of the largest in the world, a Regional Distribution Centre at KLIA\u2019s Free Trade Zone. It is also the base for a Regional Competence Hub that hosts 5G expertise and regional support functions, as well as promotes local talent globally.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">H\u00e4gerbro says that Ericsson will continue to deliver a secure, affordable, world-class 5G network and customer experience for Malaysia.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Malaysia has already become a recognized global leader in 5G connectivity with reports stating that Malaysia has achieved outstanding results in implementing and delivering a great 5G experience for consumers as well as the 5G network delivering excellent speed and reliability, outperforming many industrialized nations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>END<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>NOTES TO EDITORS:<\/b><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ericsson.com\/en\/press-releases\/2\/2022\/9\/malaysias-5g-network-to-use-new-energy-saving-ericsson-radios\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Malaysia\u2019s 5G network to use new, energy-saving Ericsson radios<\/span><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ericsson.com\/en\/press-releases\/2\/2022\/6\/ericsson-boosts-distribution-center-in-malaysia-for-enhanced-customer-network-support\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ericsson boosts distribution center in Malaysia for enhanced customer network support<\/span><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ericsson.com\/en\/press-releases\/2021\/9\/ericsson-to-support-malaysias-digital-transformation-through-nationwide-5g-deployment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ericsson to support Malaysia\u2019s digital transformation through nationwide 5G deployment<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>FOLLOW US:<\/b><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Subscribe to Ericsson press releases <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ericsson.com\/en\/newsroom\/latest-news\/press-subscription\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">here<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Subscribe to Ericsson blog posts <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/foryou.ericsson.com\/blog-subscription-center.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">here<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.twitter.com\/ericsson\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.twitter.com\/ericsson<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ericsson\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ericsson<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/ericsson\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/ericsson<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>MORE INFORMATION AT:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ericsson.com\/en\/newsroom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ericsson Newsroom<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">David Ong-Yeoh, Head of Communications for Ericsson Malaysia, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:david.ong-yeoh@ericsson.com\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">david.ong-yeoh@ericsson.com<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 (+60123900885)<\/span><br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:media.relations@ericsson.com\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">media.relations@ericsson.com<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 (+46 10\u00a0719 69 92)<\/span><br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:investor.relations@ericsson.com\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">investor.relations@ericsson.com<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 (+46 10\u00a0719 00 00)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>ABOUT ERICSSON:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ericsson enables communications service providers and enterprises to capture the full value of connectivity.
