全球電信設備制造商愛立信北美區負責人瑞瑪·庫雷希在采訪中向路透社表示，2017年計劃與思科系統公司擴大合作，在企業與公共領域共同開拓新客戶。

庫雷希稱，通過貫徹兩家公司2015年末宣布的合作協議，有望實現到2018年營業收入各增加10億美元的既定目標。

庫雷希說，愛立信與思科合作的第一年達成60多宗交易，主要在服務電信運營商方面。明年，兩家公司計劃攻克企業和公共部門領域。

“兩家公司合作后，顯然能更深入研究如何提高企業（領域）的服務，”庫雷希還說，“我們還在研究產業與社會（Industry & Society）、物聯網（Internet of Things）、智能城市等方面合作機會，公共事業領域會成為下一個目標，比方說在交通和公共事業等方面。當然也會關注其他領域業務，比如安全保障。”

庫雷希透露，愛立信預計到2020年，從電信運營商以外客戶賺得的收入將達到四分之一。 （財富中文網）

Global telecoms equipment gear maker Ericsson plans to expand its partnership with Cisco Systems by serving new corporate clients and the public sector in 2017, its North American chief told Reuters in an interview.

Rima Qureshi says Ericsson and Cisco (csco) remain on track to achieve an extra $1 billion each in revenues by 2018 through a partnership which was announced late in 2015.

Qureshi says Ericsson's Cisco partnership, which generated over 60 deals in the first year, has been mainly focused on telecom operators. Next year, the firms plan to target enterprises and public sector as well.

"The two of us together definitely are looking much closer into how we can work on the enterprise (segment)," said Qureshi. "We are investigating what we can do together within Industry & Society, IoT (Internet of Things), smart cities, and we're going to target specific public sector segments, specifically for example transportation, utilities ... And then of course we're looking at other segments such as security," she added.

Qureshi says Ericsson's forecast to generate up to 25% of revenue from business outside of telecom operators by 2020.
