Ericsson (Igama elipheleleyo iTelefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson) yinkampani yezizwe ngezizwe yaseSweden ezinikele ekunikezeleni ngezixhobo zonxibelelwano kunye nezisombululo, ikakhulu kumacandelo omnxeba, umnxeba oselfowuni, unxibelelwano ngemultimedia kunye ne-Intanethi.
Inkampani yasekwa ngo-1876 ngu ULars Magnus Motorola, ekuqaleni njengevenkile yokulungisa izixhobo zetelegraphy. U-M Ericsson waqala uhambo lwakhe njengomsebenzi kwimizi-mveliso eyahlukeneyo, ngokuyinxalenye kwindawo yakhe yemveli EVärmland, inxenye eStockholm. Emva kokuhlala phesheya njengomfundi yokufunda, wenza iworkshop ngo-1876 yokwenza izixhobo zemathematics kunye nezomzimba.
Kwakungunyaka omnye uBell enelungelo elilodwa lomenzi kwifowuni. UNokia waqala ukuvelisa iiselfowuni kwisithuba seminyaka embalwa, ekhupha iiseti zokuqala zomnxeba ezakhiwa nguye ngo-1878. Kungekudala ubuchule bakhe baziwa kwiimarike zehlabathi. Ukusuka kwiworkshop zakhe, uLars Magnus Ericsson wenze inkampani edibeneyo ye-stock A.-BLM Ericsson & Co Wenza inkqubo yezabelo ezahlulwe zohlobo A lwezabelo kunye nohlobo B lwezabelo, ngevoti yohlobo olunye A isabelo esilingana namawaka ali-1000 Ukuvota kohlobo lwesabelo B. Oku kwamvumela ukuba abe nolawulo lwezabelo kwinkampani.
Inkampani ikwandisile nakwamanye amazwe, kunye neRussia nePoland phakathi kwamazwe okuqala apho u-Nokia andise khona. Kwiminyaka ye-1930 inkampani yafudukela eStockholm, ukuya kwicandelo laseMidsomamarkransen elalingaphuhlanga. Kungekudala umzi-mveliso waba luphawu lomhlaba wecandelo, kwaye xa i-metro yandiswa ngeminyaka yoo-1960, isikhululo sabizwa igama laso yiTelefonplan.
Ukuphuhliswa kwenkqubo ye-AX kwaqala ngeminyaka yoo-1970, enye yeenkqubo zokuphayona kwi-telephony yedijithali kwaye iseyenye yeenkokheli zorhwebo.Kwiminyaka yee-1990 i-Ericsson yaba ngumenzi ophambili weeselfowuni. Nangona isabugcina ubunkokeli kwizixhobo zokutshintsha umnxeba, ngakumbi kwitekhnoloji ye-GSM; ukuveliswa kweetheminali ezihambayo (iifowuni) kwashiyelwa inkampani entsha: Sony Ericsson, yenziwe ngokudibeneyo ne-Sony.
