Telecom equipment maker Ericsson on Thursday said it was looking at making India a global export hub for networking gear from its Jaipur facility.

"We have recently increased capacity at our facility in Jaipur. In the future, we are looking at making this facility a global export hub," said Ericsson India President Fredrik Jejdling.

However, he declined to comment on investment details and timeline for commencement for exports from the unit.

Starting with wireline hardware manufacturing, it manufactures 2G and 3G equipment at the said unit.

Ericsson manages production lines providing equipment for radio access network, core network, transmission solutions and modules from the unit.

With the introduction of new technologies, including 3G and TD-LTE, in India, the expansion was done to extend our capabilities to better support our customers here. We can now look at exporting to other countries as well," Jejdling said.

The company has manufacturing units in Sweden, China and Brazil as well.
