Ericsson has hosted senior
U.S. government officials at its 5G Smart Factory in Texas, highlighting
efforts to strengthen the country’s technology leadership and infrastructure
resilience.
Among the visiting
delegation was Jacob Helberg, Under Secretary of State, who toured the highly
automated facility in Lewisville. The 300,000-square-foot site manufactures 5G
radios and basebands used to power networks across the United States.
The facility, which employs
more than 550 people, is currently the largest manufacturer of 5G
infrastructure in the country and plays a key role in supporting secure and
resilient digital networks.
Ericsson said the plant is central to advancing domestic production capabilities, with equipment produced in Texas deployed nationwide. The company also indicated that future developments will include 6G technologies as part of ongoing efforts to maintain U.S. competitiveness in next-generation connectivity.
