Future technologies for an intelligent society

A number of technologies shape tomorrow’s intelligent network platform. By evolving these technologies we evolve the network platform, a platform that will fundamentally change the way our societies innovate, collaborate, produce, govern and live sustainably. This will not only change the telecom industry, it will create new opportunities for other industries and different kinds of business models. Traditional business processes will be re-engineered based on intuitive human-machine interactivity, and realized through real-time, autonomous and inherently secure platforms.

Ericsson Research areas for future technologies

Future network security

As networks become intelligent platforms for innovation, future network security will become key to establishing trustworthiness across future societies.

Autonomous networks

Future autonomous networks will deliver the speed, scale and capacity of intelligent society and industry – with close to zero human touch.

5G evolution will be shaped by many evolutionary leaps within the 5G standard

5G evolution and 6G

There will be many leaps within the 5G standard, from ubiquitous Gbps to new forms of intuitive person-to-person connectivity. Explore what awaits next.

Future IoT

In future, billions of devices will connect intelligent societies and industry simultaneously, from immersive mixed reality to remote haptic technologies.

Network compute fabric

Everything from the data center to the smallest of devices will become one universal compute fabric as the execution environment for distributed applications, blurring the lines between device, edge computing, and cloud environments.
