IIRC that deal was Ericsson fabbing their LTE & 5G basestations on Intel's 10nm process, but Intel's 10nm process can't produce large working chips in volume (and likely never will), which has kneecapped Ericsson as a cellular vendor.

Ericsson is one of the biggest vendors of telecom network equipment, including 4G base stations. They sold the phone business to Sony years ago.
