Previously located just a stone&#8217;s throw away on Woodmead drive, Ericsson chose to relocate to Waterfall to become part of this award-winning hub of collaboration, innovation, sustainability and best in class infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>Founded over 140 years ago and one of the first pioneers of the modern telephone, today Ericsson is one of the world&#8217;s leading providers of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). The company&#8217;s portfolio spans Networks, Digital Services, Managed Services, and Emerging Business, and it specialises in helping clients increase operational efficiency and uncover new revenue streams.<\/p>\n<p>In 2020 Ericsson, announced its growth plans for Africa, guided by the premise that access to communications is a basic human need. According to Ericsson&#8217;s Mobility Report, by 2025, Sub-Saharan Africa mobile broadband subscriptions will increase to reach around 70% of mobile subscriptions, with increased 4G\/5G coverage and uptake being the main driver. Critical to this shift are a young and growing population and the growing availability of lower-priced smart and feature phones.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The move to Waterfall aligns with our global strategy to enable the full value of connectivity by creating game-changing technology and services that are easy to use, adopt, and scale. Furthermore, with African economies positioned for rapid growth in coming years, our new office places us in a strategic position to nurture young African talent as well as expand our reach and footprint into the continent,&#8221; says Nicolas Blixell, Vice President, Head of Global Customer Unit at Ericsson Middle East and Africa.<\/p>\n<p>A smart and ultra-modern office precinct, the office park incorporates innovative and sustainable elements such as a state-of-the-art water and irrigation system, variable refrigerant volume (VRV) condensers, pedestrian walkways, and shaded canted roofs.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Following the two years of uncertainty brought on by the Covid pandemic, it was important to us to carefully make the transition back to more of an in-office model, while not losing the efficiencies and flexibility we&#8217;ve all become accustomed to with remote working. Attacq&#8217;s vision of creating collaboration hubs that encourage connectedness, innovation and environmental stewardship aligned well with our commitment to creating a world where limitless connectivity improves lives, redefines business and pioneers a sustainable future,&#8221; concludes Blixell.<\/p>\n<p>Corporate Campus is strategically located close to the Mall of Africa, a Netcare hospital, a Curro School, a number of the other A-grade office developments, and various mixed- use and residential developments. The office park also features an onsite restaurant, two wifi-enabled 50-seater conference facilities, cycling facilities and showers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>..Move driven by Africa Growth Strategy and limitless connectivity commitments..
