Dell Technologies (NYSE: DELL) and Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) announced a strategic partnership to combine their deep industry expertise with telecom software, solutions and support, to guide communications service providers (CSPs) through their radio access network (RAN) cloud transformation journeys.
