G500 2017—Ericsson
Circuit boards stand during production of 2G, 3G and 4G data networking devices at the company's factory in Tallinn, Estonia, on Wednesday, April 22, 2015. By expanding its services business, Ericsson wants to fend off competition from Huawei Technologies Co. and Nokia Oyj, which last week agreed to buy rival Alcatel-Lucent SA for $16.7 billion in a deal that would create the biggest wireless network provider and may relegate the Swedish company to second place.
