Ericsson Announces Closing of the Transfer of Iot Accelerator and Connected Vehicle Cloud Businesses to Aeris

The capabilities of the combined IoT businesses will serve thousands of customers across a wide range of industries – including healthcare, fleet, utilities and automotive – safely connecting tens of millions of IoT devices and providing intelligent solutions enabling IoT programs to scale and succeed, everywhere. The Aeris Connected Vehicle business will help a growing list of automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to deploy, monetize and evolve their connected vehicle programs.

Marc Jones, Chairman and CEO of Aeris, says: “We look forward to integrating the Ericsson IoT and Connected Vehicle businesses to create the new Aeris. We have a long history of bringing innovation to the IoT space and now have additional talent, technology, and partnerships to bring that innovation to enterprises looking to simplify, secure and scale IoT around the world.”

Åsa Tamsons, Head of Business Area Technologies & New Businesses at Ericsson, says: “, Ericsson has closed the transfer of our IoT business to Aeris, creating a leader in the fragmented IoT market. The joint capabilities bring unprecedented scale, stability, reliability and security to launch and manage IoT programs around the world. For communications service provider partners and their customers on the IoT Accelerator, operations continue as previously, and they will now also be able to benefit from a full-stack offering and new revenue streams.”
