Ericsson (ERIC) & Hillwood to Boost Autonomous Mobility

Ericsson ERIC recently announced that it has partnered with Hillwood, a leading industrial and commercial real estate developer in the United States, to boost autonomous mobility.

Ericsson is a technology partner to automakers, connectivity providers and hyperscalers. ERIC and Hillwood have a shared vision for connected mobility to make transportation safer and sustainable.

Ericsson Routes is an incubation unit within Ericsson to broaden services to the automotive industry. It is an Ericsson ONE project. Ericsson ONE is the company’s accelerator for internal growth businesses.

Autonomous vehicle companies in the AllianceTexas Mobility Innovation Zone (MIZ) will significantly benefit from 4G and 5G connectivity for their operations through Ericsson Routes.

The AllianceTexas MIZ is an ecosystem that allows mobility visionaries access to resources and partnerships to test and commercialize the latest technologies.

Thanks to Ericsson Routes, Hillwood’s customers will now have cutting-edge services to advance the mobility industry.

Powered by wireless cellular, Ericsson Routes provides connectivity predictions so that users can have a reliable connection throughout the journey.

Earlier this year, Ericsson Routes was launched in San Francisco to provide a single integration point and a prediction engine for autonomous vehicles across their wireless service providers.

Ericsson Routes will test and expand support for drone connectivity later this year.

Ericsson’s investments in automation, analytics, and AI-driven offerings are supporting 5G and efficiency in service delivery.
