Ericsson Partners With VVDN Technologies to Localise Passive Antenna Production in India

Ericsson Antenna System (EAS), a division of Swedish telecom company Ericsson, is set to fully localise production of passive antennas in India by June 2025, marking a significant expansion of the company’s manufacturing footprint in the country. This move, in collaboration with Indian technology partner VVDN Technologies, reinforces India’s position as a key innovation and export hub within Ericsson’s global network. The localised production will cater not only to domestic demand but also to international markets, strengthening Ericsson’s global supply chain.
