Less than two years after exiting the enterprise telephony market by selling its business to Aastra, Ericsson has got back in again by buying Nortel's half of LG-Nortel, Nortel's joint venture with Korean manufacturer LG.
The Rockstar Consortium is free to proceed with its acquisition of thousands of Nortel patents.
A consortium of Apple, EMC, Ericsson, Microsoft, Research In Motion and Sony has beaten Google to pay $US4.5 billion for more than 6,000 Nortel patents and patent applications spanning wireless, wireless 4G, data networking, optical, voice, internet, service provider, semiconductors and other patents.
Optical networking vendor Ciena - which beat Nokia Siemens in the auction for Nortel's optical networking and carrier ethernet business - has opened an office in Australia, largely using ex Nortel staff.

Australian communications systems distributor Aria Technologies has expanded into South Africa by acquiring the exclusive distribution rights to LG-Nortel products from Ericsson.
Nortel is to sell its remaining portfolio of approximately 6000 patents and patent applications to Google for $US900m in cash, subject to the outcome of a court-mandated auction.
In the wake of the acquisition of Nortel by Avaya, companies that previously bought products from both companies are now instead looking to Alcatel-Lucent as a second source of products, according to Tom Burns, president, enterprise and strategic industries at Alcatel-Lucent. But Avaya executives understandably disagreed.
