R&D made in France dedicated to 5G
Opened in January 2020, Ericsson France R&D center is located in Paris area. Its focus areas are 5G and 6G in the domains of security, AI and automatization, private and mission critical networks.
The opening of this research and development center in France supports Ericsson's technology leadership strategy for 5G. It complements our already strong R&D presence in Europe, with 20 R&D centers.
Centered around 5 poles, the site initially focused on 5G software development and 5G security and is now involved more and more in new activities around 6G especially in automation, AI (Artificial Intelligence), private and mission critical networks for the entire Ericsson group.

Consortium CP4SC
Ericsson R&D France is part of the consortium CP4SC. The mission of Cloud Platform for a Smart City (CP4SC) is to empower governments to bring their bold carbon neutrality ambitions to life. We do this by harnessing the power of data, drawing from a wide range of sources including mobility, energy management, and earth and environmental observation. Ericsson R&D France put 5G connectivity to the heart of the platform to enable Internet of Things (IoT) devices across various urban applications – from traffic management to building operations, city planning, and air quality control. All of these were powered by the leading-edge 5G Standalone network.
Looking ahead up to June 2025 the consortium members will be collaborating to define a global integration base for the platform and develop innovative new components. With the combined expertise of various INRIA and IFPEN laboratories, we're on track to create a standardized, interoperable data platform. This platform will be a game-changer for governments at all levels, enabling seamless data sharing and collaboration between diverse actors – from the public and private sectors to research institutions.
