Executive Overview
Broadband, both fixed and mobile, is shaping not only how people communicate but also society in general. By focusing on delivering connectivity, convenience and cost-effectiveness, we are helping bring broadband to life anywhere, on any device with any service.
- Broadband has quickly become one of the most successful telecom services – today more than 350 million households are connected
- Broadband is a part of many people’s daily lives, driven by the digitalization of society, accessibility and advanced services such as telemedicine, interactive gaming and digital TV.
- Broadband unlocks a world of possibilities that make life easier – people can work, study and live wherever they wish thanks to the flexibility provided by broadband.
- With a Full Service Broadband architecture, you gain a holistic approach to broadband, combining fixed and mobile access, to cater for the next generation of users, services and devices.
- Demand for faster network speeds and greater capacity has driven the development and penetration of deep-fiber access solutions such as VDSL2 and GPON.
- Mobile broadband based on HSPA is growing quickly, with benefits such as speed and ubiquitous access, and cost-effective rollout for operators.
- Long Term Evolution (LTE) offers a superior user experience and simplified technology for next-generation mobile broadband.
- Broadband enables new services such as IPTV, video-on-demand, targeted advertising and enterprise services that help operators stay competitive.
- All kinds of consumer electronics are being equipped with mobile broadband access, from phones and laptops to gaming devices, e-book readers and car equipment.
- A broadband connection increases the efficiency of enterprises by an average of 12 percent compared with narrowband.
Broadband is becoming a natural part of daily life: we are moving towards a world where people access broadband applications and content from any device, anywhere, at any time – at home, at work, or on the move.
Broadband connectivity also delivers predictable performance, convenience for users and cost-competitiveness for operators.
To be connected at any time in any location requires an architecture that supports seamless connectivity across fixed and mobile access boundaries. User convenience is also a prerequisite if broadband penetration is to exceed 3 billion users. To deliver new and existing broadband services to the mass market, connectivity must be both affordable for users and profitable for operators.
Governments and regulatory agencies are driving the expansion of broadband use and many countries are sponsoring new technology initiatives that increase national productivity, save resources and produce strategic advantages. It is widely accepted that broadband installations can positively impact a country’s gross domestic product.
Ericsson’s Full Service Broadband offering is bringing broadband to the mass market by focusing on connectivity, convenience and cost-effectiveness. These broadband solutions are designed to minimize the cost of introducing new services and new access technologies.
Greater flexibility allows for incremental additions of services and forms of access, while open standards help drive traffic, increase competitiveness and reduce cost of ownership.
