Ericsson On-Demand is a managed Core Network as a Service platform designed to help communications service providers deploy and scale mobile core services without building and operating dedicated infrastructure. Built on Google Cloud and managed by Ericsson, it provides a SaaS-based 5G Core with instant provisioning, continuous updates, global availability, and elastic capacity.
The platform allows operators to start with the capacity they require and scale according to traffic and commercial demand. Its consumption-based model aligns costs with service growth, while Ericsson’s Site Reliability Engineering teams manage the underlying environment. Current offerings cover private wireless and fixed wireless, with additional mobile broadband and roaming capabilities planned.

Ericsson On-Demand is intended primarily for communications service providers and operators that need to introduce private wireless, fixed wireless, or other mobile Core services without deploying and operating dedicated Core infrastructure.
Ericsson On-Demand is built on Google Cloud and uses Google Kubernetes Engine. Ericsson manages the service and provides operational support through Site Reliability Engineering teams.
Potential alternatives include cloud-native mobile Core and network-platform offerings from Nokia, Huawei, Mavenir, and Rakuten Symphony. Buyers should compare service availability, hyperscaler support, Core functionality, consumption model, geographic coverage, and operational responsibility.
Ericsson does not publicly advertise a free trial. The official page provides options to request a demo and access available services through Google Cloud Marketplace.
At Mobile World Congress 2026, Ericsson demonstrated a 1 Tbps 5G Core deployment supporting one million simulated subscribers on Google Cloud. This provides a technical scale proof point, although production capacity will vary by service, geography, configuration, and contract.
Ericsson positions On-Demand as a fully managed, cloud-native Core Network as a Service offering with instant provisioning, continuous updates, elastic scaling, and consumption-based costs.
