Ericsson, a Swedish company founded in 1876, is a world leading company in the rapidly changing environment of communications technology – providing equipment, software, and services to mobile and fixed network operators. 40 percent of global mobile traffic runs through networks supplied by Ericsson, and the company manages networks that serve more than 1 billion subscribers globally every day. With more than 35,000 granted patents, they have one of the industry’s strongest patent portfolios.

Johnson Controls was involved in a data centre retrofit for Ericsson, a leader in communications technology. The company’s data centre located in Athlone, Ireland, has a strategic importance, being the central point that feeds all the other sites. After leading a detailed energy survey, Johnson Controls replaced the refrigeration solution, which resulted in higher reliability and significant energy savings.
