Wind-powered turbine for Ericsson Tower Tube
Ericsson is developing a wind-powered Tower Tube in cooperation with the University of Uppsala and Swedish Vertical Wind AB. A striking feature of the wind-powered RBS site solution is that it incorporates a turbine that revolves on a vertical axis (the tower being the “axis”) instead of spinning on a horizontal axis like a traditional wind mill-like turbine.
In January 2009, the Open IPTV Forum (OIPF) delivered the first release of its end-to-end solution based on an architecture that meets the requirements identified for a set of initial services and features.
With an open IPTV standard now in place, the TV industry is set for far-reaching changes. New products and solutions will soon enter the market, enabling users to select where and when to watch TV and have greater interaction with other viewers. Listen to what Ericsson's vice president of Technology and Industry, Erik Ekudden, has to say about the evolution of IPTV.

VIDEO: LTE — ONE GLOBAL STANDARD

I am pleased to present Technology Update. The idea is to complement the Ericsson Review journal with information we hope will interest you. One intention is to update you regarding news and developments that have occurred since they were first reported in the journal. Two examples in this Update are the articles about the wind turbine for the Tower Tube and Release 1 of the OIPF specifications. Also, because the Update is a digital product, we can now share new kinds of content and media…
