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 has released 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-learning as 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 indoors while 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 comprehensive small 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
