Description

Fujitsu is a global systems integrator that has partnered with Ericsson since 2018 to deliver private cellular and industrial connectivity for manufacturing customers. In the UK, Fujitsu's integrator arm deployed an Ericsson private 5G network for Jaguar Land Rover at its Solihull plant, connecting IoT sensors and cameras across body shops and paint shops that had previously suffered coverage black spots. The deployment uses licensed spectrum and supports condition monitoring use cases that continue to expand across the site.

The Fujitsu-Ericsson relationship is formalized through a global memorandum of understanding covering Ericsson Industry Connect and Ericsson Private Networks, combining Fujitsu's systems integration expertise with Ericsson's wireless connectivity portfolio to help manufacturers plan, scope and implement digital transformation projects.

Benefits

Production-proven private 5G

Fujitsu deployed Ericsson private 5G for Jaguar Land Rover at its Solihull manufacturing plant, connecting previously unreachable black-spot and not-spot areas in the body shop and paint shop.

Broader industrial IoT connectivity

The deployment connects IoT sensors and cameras across siloed plant areas, with condition monitoring as the anchor use case and additional applications expanding from there.

Backed by a global Ericsson partnership

Fujitsu and Ericsson operate under a global memorandum of understanding covering Ericsson Industry Connect and Ericsson Private Networks, extending the partnership beyond the UK to Scandinavia, Germany and the USA.

FAQ

Yes. Fujitsu and Ericsson signed a global memorandum of understanding to combine Ericsson's wireless connectivity with Fujitsu's systems integration and digitalization expertise, and Fujitsu has delivered a production Ericsson private 5G deployment for Jaguar Land Rover in the UK.
The partnership focuses on manufacturing and Industry 4.0 use cases, including condition monitoring, industrial IoT sensors and camera connectivity.
The UK deployment covers Jaguar Land Rover's Solihull plant. The broader Fujitsu-Ericsson partnership also covers Scandinavia, Germany and the USA.
The Jaguar Land Rover deployment uses the n77 band at 3.8 to 4.2 GHz in the UK, licensed directly by Jaguar Land Rover.
Jaguar Land Rover was struggling to optimize its industrial Wi-Fi and ethernet infrastructure at its Solihull manufacturing facility to support new IoT sensors and cameras, before choosing Ericsson private 5G delivered through Fujitsu.
