The company has also developed a range of IP PABX hybrids, known as Aria Soho, the market for SOHO / SME.


Ericsson-LG’s key products and services has three primary business units: Networks, Cloud Software and Services, and Private Networks.
==Composition of the shareholding==


First, Networks provides the hardware, software, and related offerings for both radio access network (RAN) and mobile transport. The network technology covers Ericsson-LG’s end-to-end 5G platform and enables access to a full 5G deployment.
[[Nortel]] paid $ 145 million for 50% stake plus one share, with [[LG Electronics]] taking the balance.


Second, Cloud Software and Services. This business unit includes solutions to core network and automation (new use cases with 5G that were previously not possible with 3G or 4G networks) and [[managed services]], which advances network and IT operations as well as next-generation connectivity. Furthermore, for better service quality and successful 5G monetization, Ericsson-LG also offers solutions for services orchestration and telecom BSS. These solutions allow service providers to smoothly transition to cloud native software and automated operations.
Now, with the recent bankruptcy of Nortel, it has sold its 50% plus one share to [[LM Ericsson]] for $242 million.


Finally, there is private networks. Ericsson-LG offers private network solution, Ericsson Private 5G, for various industries to fit any organization’s digital transformation.{{Reflist}}
Recently, 22nd March 2012, Ericsson purchased a further 50% of LG Electronics shares, taking its total holding to 75% plus one share.
