Networked Society
A connected world is just the beginning
We are on the brink of an extraordinary revolution that will change our world forever.
In this new world everyone, everything and everywhere will be connected in real time. We envision that by 2020, there will be more than 50 billion connected devices. We call this the Networked Society, and it will fundamentally change the way we innovate, collaborate, produce, govern and achieve sustainability.
A new mindset
The Networked Society is about new methods of collaborating, sharing and getting informed. It’s about innovative ways of doing business that will create efficiencies in the public and private sectors. And ultimately it’s about new approaches to resolving some of the greatest challenges facing our planet.
Comparing cities’ ICT maturity
The Networked Society City Index ranks 25 of the world’s largest cities according to their ability to transform ICT into social, economic and environmental benefits.
Window of Opportunity
Window of Opportunity is an exploration project where Ericsson tests what happens when ordinary windows are connected and act as connectors.
The future of learning
Learning and education
As technology continues to transform our society, those responsible for our current systems of learning and education are facing overwhelming pressure to adapt.
Education technology, connected learning and the rise of the Networked Society are transforming the established concept of learning, teachers’ roles and even the nature of knowledge itself.
Connected Me
Imagine that your body is part of a network – able to transmit information, images and codes – simply by touching an object. This ability is now possible through a technology known as capacitive coupling.
Connected Me is an Ericsson concept that demonstrates capacitive coupling, and the power of touch, at speeds of up to 10Mbps.
Urban life in future cities
City Life
Today, more people live in cities than in rural areas, and by 2050, about 70 percent of the world’s population is expected to reside in urban areas.
By transforming our cities, we can improve the lives of billions of people along with the health and future of the planet itself.
ICT investment in cities drives business
The Networked Society City Index analyzes ICT-driven benefit creation in 25 of the world’s largest cities. The latest installment in this series focuses on business and the positive effects that ICT has on innovation and entrepreneurship.
How ICT is changing the classroom
As we journey towards the Networked Society, ICT is unlocking the full potential of learning and education by redefining existing classroom models.
Technology for Good
In the Networked Society, Ericsson will be the leading advocate of Technology for Good. By using broadband to address poverty, human rights, climate change and other challenges, we want to ensure our technology is a force for lasting, positive change.
