PETER BORSOS | From a world of phones to an invisible infrastructure - the Swedish footprint of Ericsson stretches 150 years

from LETTERS FROM AMERICA · host MARTIN WÆRN

Telling these stories from a road trip wouldn't be possible without the complex infrastructure of a mobile network, so I met with Peter Borsos, Head of Communications at Ericsson, in Washington, D.C., to talk about the company's 150-year history - 120 of those making a Swedish footprint in the United States, surviving both financial crashes and international bribery scandals - and how leaving the battle of smart phones transformed the company into one of the world's most trusted manufacturers of mobile infrastructure with 60 % of the American market. - And about speed!6G is coming to our lives soon, and the big question is, how much more speed do we need before we’re satisfied?
