Dear Mr. Leslie:

I am writing on behalf of Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (“Ericsson”) to request that Ericsson be permitted to respond by October 28, 2016 to your letter dated September 29, 2016 regarding the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff’s review of Ericsson’s Form 20-F for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2015 filed on April 4, 2016. Ericsson requests the additional ten business days to permit it to complete the preparation and review of the requested response.

Very truly yours,
