Ericsson extends EIAP to core networks for unified automation

Ericsson extended its Ericsson Intelligent Automation Platform (EIAP) to core networks in June 2026, adding unified management across open Radio Access Network (RAN) and core infrastructure.

Ericsson said the EIAP expansion gives telecom operators a consolidated way to manage complex network infrastructure. The company described EIAP as a multi-vendor automation platform and said the update adds core networks to its existing scope.

Ericsson said the new release establishes one control architecture across open RAN and core networks. In telecom networks, the core network handles central functions such as subscriber management, policy control, and traffic routing, while RAN connects devices to the mobile network.

Ericsson said the platform brings agentic AI to core network operations. The source excerpt did not provide technical details on how the agentic AI functions, which operators are using the update, or whether the deployment is limited to specific countries.
