Deeper into the Networked Society

Earlier this year Ericsson launched its new vision: a Networked Society, where every person and every industry is empowered to reach their full potential. Technology leadership is about putting this vision into practice. It’s about developing connectivity technology to be an integral part of the fabric of what we do on a daily basis, whether it is at work, at school, at home, outside, on the way to somewhere or on the way back from somewhere.

The aims of each individual or enterprise are highly varied; people and companies want coverage, capacity, reliability, availability and resilience with an appropriate level of security. The one-size-fits-all network no longer fits well with the need to customize network characteristics to suit user’s needs and what they are prepared to pay for. With cloud technologies, SDN and NFV as a foundation, I see the developments we are working on, moving toward 5G, are focused on the ability to provide connectivity to suit each and every use case.
