Ericsson announces redundancies and closing down of CDMA headquarters

Ericsson has announced plans to simplify its Mobile Systems CDMA unit organization. Based on previously announced commonality across its technology platforms, Ericsson will streamline its organization.

The Business Unit Mobile Systems CDMA has its administrative headquarters in San Diego, California. Following the reorganization, the CDMA business unit will be transitioning responsibilities, which today are handled in San Diego, to other operations.

As a consequence of this move, the CDMA operations in San Diego will be significantly reduced and the headquarter operations will eventually be closed. Ericsson estimates that approximately 250 employees will be made redundant over the next 6-9 months.
