[Asia Economy Reporter Minyoung Cha] "There are many tech-savvy IT enthusiasts in Korea. The demand for the latest technology generates a lot of traffic, and we can provide customized portfolios that meet these (enterprise customers') needs."

Ericsson LG introduced its 'Ericsson Silicon' technology optimized for mobile networks such as 5G. It is the latest semiconductor design technology that reduces silicon size while integrating more functions to enhance performance and energy efficiency.

H?kan Sellberg, CEO of Ericsson LG, held an 'Ericsson Silicon Day' on the morning of the 28th at the Seoul R&D campus near Gasan Digital Complex in Seoul, introducing Ericsson's new technology, Ericsson Silicon.

Ericsson Silicon is a system-on-chip (SoC) in the form of an ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) that combines hardware and software. It was designed from the initial product planning stage to maximize the performance of the entire mobile platform, from radio and RAN computing to transport network equipment.

Ericsson Silicon has been applied to Ericsson's representative wireless lineup, the ERS product series, contributing to improved 5G network quality and enhanced energy efficiency. According to internal measurements, energy efficiency has improved up to seven times compared to products released in 2016. Power consumption is also 30-60% lower than industry benchmarks. Security features have also been strengthened.

Recent trends in the semiconductor market focus on efficiency. As we enter the third year of the 5G era, following 2G, 3G, and LTE, the semiconductor equipment required for mobile network construction has increased. The processing equipment needed for baseband and radio base stations that make up wireless network base stations has also surged. For one core network, 1,000 times the baseband and 10,000 times the radio equipment are required.

Ericsson LG CTO Kwon Kyung-in is explaining Ericsson's silicon technology.

Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Kyungin Kwon also stated, "As we enter the third year of 5G commercialization, processing power and performance capacity are increasing exponentially," adding, "Ericsson Silicon is optimized for digital front-end and beamforming technologies, which are highly demanded by 5G."

CEO H?kan Sellberg emphasized, "Ericsson has long applied custom-developed dedicated ASICs to mass-produced products," and added, "We will continue to actively support customers to meet market demands through ongoing technological innovation."

Regarding the recent withdrawal of LG Electronics from the smartphone business, the impact on Ericsson LG is expected to be limited. CEO H?kan Sellberg said, "Our joint venture (JV) is related to mobile equipment, not the handset business, so there is no impact," and noted, "Since there are excellent talents in the related business, there may be opportunities to consider talent acquisition."

Ericsson LG is a joint venture established in 2010 by Ericsson and LG Electronics that sells telecommunications equipment and solutions. It has achieved milestones such as producing Korea's first commercial electronic telephone exchange, commercializing the world's first code division multiple access (CDMA), and building the world's first nationwide LTE network.
