Ericsson GitOps Cuts Swisscom Core Upgrade Time by 60%
Dusseldorf – November 03, 2026 -- Swisscom has reduced software upgrade time by 60% and network service deployment time by 97% after adopting Ericsson's new GitOps-based lifecycle and configuration management for cloud-native core networks.
Ericsson extends declarative management to all dual-mode 5G core functions
Ericsson now offers GitOps-compliant software packages and configuration management for all of its cloud-native dual-mode 5G core network functions (CNFs). A communications service provider (CSP) defines the target state of its mobile core, and the system implements the required changes automatically. Ericsson says this reduces manual, time-intensive processes and frees engineering teams for other work.
The new deployment model is to become available for applications and products across Ericsson's core network portfolio.
