Sferical AI: Sweden’s Sovereign AI Supercomputer with Ericsson, Saab, SEB, and Wallenberg Investments

Sferical AI: Sweden’s Sovereign AI Supercomputer with Ericsson, Saab, SEB, and Wallenberg Investments

AstraZeneca, Ericsson, Saab, SEB, and Wallenberg Investments have launched Sferical AI to build and operate a sovereign AI supercomputer that anchors Sweden's next phase of industrial digitization. Sferical AI plans to deploy two NVIDIA DGX Super PODs based on the latest DGX GB300 systems in Linkping. The installation will combine 1,152 tightly interconnected GPUs, designed for fast training and fine-tuning of large, complex models. Sovereign infrastructure addresses data residency, IP protection, and regulatory alignment, while reducing exposure to public cloud capacity swings. For Swedish and European firms navigating GDPR, NIS2, and sector-specific rules like DORA in finance, a trusted, high-performance platform can accelerate AI adoption without compromising compliance.

5G in Automotive: Safer, Smarter Mobility

5G in Automotive: Safer, Smarter Mobility
Automotive digitization now hinges on 5G’s ability to deliver reliable, low-latency, and scalable connectivity that 4G/LTE cannot sustain for safety-critical use cases. Advanced driver assistance, cooperative perception, and remote operations require millisecond-class response and deterministic reliability across dense traffic conditions. 5G Standalone (SA) with Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communications (URLLC), improved positioning, and enhanced uplink meets these thresholds, enabling vehicles and infrastructure to exchange time-sensitive data continuously. This is the foundation for C-V2X, high-fidelity telematics, and closed-loop control that 4G/LTE struggles to support consistently. 5G enables dynamic traffic orchestration, energy-aware routing for EVs, and advanced safety services that can reduce incidents and congestion.

CBRS Refarming: Why It Hurts Private Networks

What Is CBRS? How Shared Spectrum Is Reshaping Wireless in the U.S.
More than $14 billion has been invested across the CBRS stacklicenses, RAN, devices, infrastructure, sensors, and software. Over 420,000 CBRS radio nodes (CBSDs) are in service. The device ecosystem is broad: Apple and Samsung ship n48-capable handsets; industrial and FWA suppliers support n48 CPEs and routers; Ericsson, Nokia, Samsung, JMA Wireless and others provide radio and DAS. This is not a pilot; it is production infrastructure. Refarming would force replacement or retuning of hundreds of thousands of base stations and millions of end devices, plus upgrades to SAS integrations and enterprise control planes.

Private 5G in Logistics: Lufthansa and Ericsson Boost Warehouse Efficiency

Private 5G in Logistics: Lufthansa and Ericsson Boost Warehouse Efficiency
Lufthansa Industry Solutions and Ericsson are tackling logistics bottlenecks with private 5G. At the LAX warehouse, they replaced unreliable Wi-Fi with just two private 5G radios, reducing scanning delays by 97% and eliminating paper logs. With edge computing and AI-powered inspections, their scalable solution is setting a new standard for warehouse automation and logistics connectivity.

Nokia’s 5G Patent Clash: India Rejects Network Slicing IP Claim

Nokia’s 5G Patent Clash: India Rejects Network Slicing IP Claim
India’s rejection of Nokia’s 5G network slicing patent highlights a growing legal battle over telecom IP. Nokia’s appeal challenges India’s strict stance on software patents, while global competitors like Huawei and Ericsson dominate the 5G patent race. This decision may reshape vendor strategies, investment priorities, and legal precedents in next-gen telecom.
