Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) has
organized ‘Ericsson CONNECT,’ its flagship technology event in New Delhi, India
to share its vision of a Networked Society. As part of the event, Ericsson
hasreleased a White Paper called “India 2020: Bringing the Networked Society to
Life,” as well as announcing the Indian launch of two new innovative product
solutions to optimize indoor coverage – the Radio Dot System and the RBS6402
picocell – thereby completing its Small
Cell Portfolio for the Indian market.
At Ericsson CONNECT, Mikael
Bäck, Global Head of Strategy Development & Portfolio Management, shared
case studies to show how the Networked Society - widespread internet
connectivity - is driving change for individuals and communities and enabling
innovation and business transformation. He cited real life examples of goods
tracking, connected cars, and e-learningas examples of how the Networked
Society is coming alive in different parts of the world.
The newly released White Paper
titled“India 2020: Bringing the Networked Society to Life,”highlights factors
that will contribute towards creating a Digital India by 2020 and achieving the
objectives and targets of the National Telecom Policy-2012 (NTP-2012) to extend
the reach of broadband in the country.
Chris
Houghton, Head of Region India, says: “Broadband has the potential to help
bring about inclusive growth in India by extending education, healthcare and
financial inclusion to rural areas and lower income groups. In order to achieve
and deliver on this vision, government and industry need to actively partner to
tackle the constraints of limited spectrum availability, device affordability
and network performance gaps indoorswhile at the same
time meeting the pent-up demand for mobile broadband and stimulating interest
in and uptake of services in new markets with new revenue models.”
Ericsson has
recently launched its “Networked Society Stories” campaign that captures 61 mini-films
from around the world to show how the Networked Society - widespread internet
connectivity – is taking shape in different parts of the world. The stories
they tell range from improving education via online learning in Bhutan;
securing the safety of citizens in Rio de Janeiro, through internet-enabled
devices linking users with the emergency services; helping refugees find
displaced family members through digital innovation; to stories about
small-scale entrepreneurs.
In the Networked
Society, where connectivity is the starting point for new ways of innovating,
collaborating and socializing, indoor coverage is increasingly becoming
important for Indian mobile broadband users. At least half of all issues
encountered today in dense urban centers by mobile broadband users are faced
indoors. To address the challenges of ensuring high quality mobile voice and
data services within buildings, Ericsson has introduced its innovative small cell
portfolio in India.
Ericsson’s
comprehensivesmall cell portfolio comprises a full range of indoor and outdoor
small cells and Carrier Wi-Fi access points including the Ericsson Radio Dot
System and RBS 6402 picocell both of which are compact, cost-effective
solutions that enable operators to deliver high-performance network coverage
and capacity indoors while allowing for faster deployment. With the Radio Dot
System, Ericsson is redefining the concept of indoor small cells with the
industry’s most cost-effective and modular high performance indoor radio system,
enabling operators to address a wide range of in-building environments with a
common solution, including the underserved, high growth, medium-to-large
building and venue category.
Optimized for
indoor environments up to 5,000 square meters (roughly 54,000 square feet), RBS
6402 is the first picocell to support LTE speeds of up to 300 Mbps with carrier
aggregation. Flexible and future proof, it’s the only multi-carrier, concurrent
multi-standard (LTE, WCDMA and Wi-Fi), and mixed-mode small cell to support 10
different bands, with two 3GPP bands (LTE and WCDMA) plus 802.11ac Wi-Fi
operating simultaneously to deliver higher peak rates and capacity. The
Ericsson small cell portfolio also meets the needs of operators as they seek to
expand their enterprise opportunities.
Christian Hedelin, Head of Radio Strategy at Ericsson, says “As
people, businesses and industry transform through mobility, the performance of
mobile networks becomes a critical factor, so Ericsson is always focused on
innovative ways to help mobile operators improve their networks. By bringing high performance mobile broadband
indoors with the Ericsson Radio Dot System and RBS 6402 Picocell, Ericsson
enables operators to satisfy their consumer and business customers, grow in
mobile enterprise and expand into new industries.”
Ericsson’s
vision of the Networked Society is based on the simple idea that real-time
connectivity will fundamentally change the way we innovate, collaborate,
produce, govern, and live sustainably. By providing new communication tools and
access to global knowledge, the Networked Society will empower every person and
every industry globally to reach their full potential
