ERIC vs HPE Comparison

Ericsson provides telecom equipment and services that are primarily used to build and facilitate mobile networks through operations in three segments: networks, cloud and software services, and enterprises. The firm's customers have historically been primarily wireless carriers, but the firm is making a push to cater more to other enterprises as well, both as they try to take advantage of 5G capabilities and on other "as-a-service" communications platforms. The company also licenses its patents to handset manufacturers so their devices are compatible with wireless networks.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise is an information technology vendor that provides hardware and software to enterprises. Its primary product lines are compute servers, storage arrays, and networking equipment; it also has a high-performance computing business. HPE's stated goal is to be a complete edge-to-cloud company. Its portfolio enables hybrid clouds and hyperconverged infrastructure. It uses a primarily outsourced manufacturing model and employs 60,000 people worldwide.
