Ericsson announced yesterday that its first 5G smart factory in the U.S. will be located in Lewisville, Texas, not too far from its North American headquarters in Plano, Texas. The facility, which received a direct investment from the Swedish telecom of roughly $100 million, will open in early 2020 and will produce advanced antenna system radios to enable rapid 5G deployments, according to a company press release.
This news comes just days after Ericsson’s announcement that its automated smart factory in China is now operational.
