Ericsson Mobile Communications AB was a subsidiary of Ericsson, entirely focused on development of mobile phones (handsets). The company formed in 1989 and existed until it was succeeded by Sony Ericsson, a joint venture between Ericsson and Sony, in 2001. Sony fully acquired Ericsson's part in the venture in 2011, concluding what had become a tumultuous and unhappy venture between the two technology giants. The major offices were located in Lund, Kumla, Raleigh, North Carolina and Lynchburg, Virginia.
