This step was the result of a lawsuit filed by mobile operator Tele2. The company “Satel TVK” was engaged in the supply of Swedish equipment to Russia.
However, the Swedish government did not allow Ericsson to supply despite the requests. The ban applies to all buyers from Russia.
Tele2 was planning to install 50 thousand Ericsson base stations for 5G networks by 2023. The operator applied for a permit from the Swedish regulator twice but did not receive a positive response.
In 2021, Ericsson’s share in operator networks was at 25-35%. However, this market share is actively falling, as the company is actively replaced by Huawei.
