| Acquisition | 2014-09 | $95,000,000 | Fabrix Systems (Ra'anana, Israel) Ericsson acquired Israeli cloud-storage and cloud-DVR company Fabrix Systems for $95 million — its first acquisition of an Israeli company.

| Partnership | 2025-01 | — | Pelephone (Israel) Pelephone rolled out an independent standalone 5G core network developed in collaboration with Ericsson (reported investment of about NIS 50 million), underpinning its 5G MAX service with coverage of over 80% of Israeli population centers. | |
| Operations in Israel | 2026 | — | LM Ericsson Israel Ltd (Rosh Ha'ayin) Ericsson maintains a local office in Rosh Ha'ayin (LM Ericsson Israel Ltd) serving Israeli communications operators; its scale is small — a sales and services presence rather than an R&D center. |
