Ericsson’s USA 5G factory: staffed by professionals – trained by VR

Ericsson's USA 5G Smart Factory in Texas is one of the most advanced manufacturing complexes in the world. When it launched earlier this year its engineering professionals were trained with almost no face-to-face interaction. By utilizing the power of virtual reality (VR) in the months prior to opening, new Ericsson employees were able to learn directly from peers in the company’s Tallinn smart factory, 8,000 km away.

From a classroom in Dallas, Texas, the future USA 5G Smart Factory professionals joined their colleagues 8,000km away in Estonia.
