We are heading for a future where everyone can communicate, where technology helps our planet and our society, and where standards ensure everything is connected. Tomorrow's communications need new standards, networks, applications and platforms. It means taking today's technologies beyond their limits. With one of the largest R&D organizations in the business, and a portfolio of more than 24,000 patents, we can see that future. Together, we can build it.
An initiative led by Sweden’s KTH Royal Institute of Technology is helping Europe become the global leader in ICT innovation.

It's all about communication – and a lot more. The services you can get in the communications network today make business more efficient, sharing easier and life a lot more fun. At Service Layer Technologies, we are researching the services and applications that you want – in your network and in your life.
You are sharing experiences, the sights and the sounds that make up your life. You want access to movies, music, games and other content wherever they are. The multimedia technologies we are refining and developing for the future will enrich lives, bringing a wealth of entertainment and emotion to communications.
Our world is full of information – and it's all coming in packets. This data-rich, all-communicating world needs the flexibility and power that only IP-based networks and technologies can bring.
The true value of IP rests not in its ability to reduce costs, but rather in everything it makes possible.
Broadband is shaping how you communicate and the society around us. It offers something for everyone, all around the world, from high-growth regions to mature markets. And in the future, broadband – mobile and fixed – will affect everything, from the way we socialize with friends to how entire communities function.
Wireless data speeds are increasing all the time, but people are demanding more. They want fast, reliable access to services and information, anytime, anywhere. The radio access networks we are developing consume less energy, provide gigabit capacity, are more cost-effective and, in many respects, manage themselves.
A future where everyone and everything is connected needs more efficient and more powerful networks. We are looking here at billions more users, a world of 50 billion connections. As well as improving the world's voice networks, we are continuing to lead the mobile broadband market by providing gigabit-capacity network solutions based on further evolutions of HSPA and LTE.
Modern communications technologies are making a huge difference in the way we all live our lives. And they are an essential part of a sustainable future, and a lower-carbon, lower-energy world. We are ensuring that our products and our processes help protect people and the planet.
With so much of our lives going online, people need to trust the networks, devices and services they are using. That is why we put so much effort into security. We are looking at the risks we face now and preparing for threats of the future.
