In a strategic move to boost enterprise connectivity and intelligence, NTT DATA and Ericsson have announced a multi-year partnership. The collaboration aims to drive enterprise adoption of private 5G and unlock advanced edge AI and physical AI use cases.
According to a release, the partnership is designed to support AI-driven and outcome-focused transformation as organisations embed intelligence at the edge across global operations.
By combining Ericsson’s private 5G and Edge platforms with NTT DATA’s full-stack enterprise network services, wireless expertise, IT/OT security, and managed services, the companies plan to deliver industry-ready solutions. These solutions will help enterprises deploy private 5G networks while achieving measurable business outcomes.
Key focus areas
The partnership will prioritise 4 main areas, including global private 5G managed services. Under this model, NTT DATA will serve as Ericsson’s global system integration and managed services provider. It will deliver private 5G as a fully managed service with consistent architecture, operations, and security standards worldwide.
NTT DATA Edge AI agents will operate on Ericsson’s enterprise Edge platforms. This will enable real-time intelligence and autonomous decision-making at the point where data is generated.
“The companies will deliver proven private 5G, edge AI and physical AI use cases across manufacturing, mining, ports, airports, energy, transportation and smart cities, helping enterprises accelerate deployment and realize measurable return on investment,” the release stated.
The companies added that joint sales, marketing, and delivery efforts will provide enterprises with a single and consistent path to deployment. This approach is expected to reduce vendor complexity and shorten time to value.
