At Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) and Aeris Communications see growing excitement among partners and customers about the joint capabilities of their combined companies. Ericsson announced in December 2022 the transfer of its IoT Accelerator and Connected Vehicle Cloud businesses to Aeris, a leading provider of IoT solutions based in San Jose, California. Close is expected during Q1 2023.

The combined capabilities of Aeris’ and Ericsson’s IoT business will create a leader in the fragmented IoT market that brings unprecedented scale, stability, reliability and security to launch and manage IoT programs around the world. Aeris’ secure Intelligent IoT Network and value-added services, targeting industry verticals such as Transportation, Utilities, Automotive and Healthcare, provide opportunities for communications service providers (CSPs) to monetize new services on top of global connectivity offered through Ericsson’s award-winning IoT Accelerator platform today.

At MWC, the combined team is showcasing new security capabilities that protect IoT programs from cyber security threats and other vulnerabilities. Already receiving positive feedback from customers, this is one of the first innovations the combined team will be offering to tens of millions of IoT devices on the IoT Accelerator platform.
