At Ericsson, we’ve set our vision for the evolution of cellular IoT. Our new offerings within cellular IoT will enable service providers to address a larger part of the IoT market – with more advanced use cases, across multiple industries. Broadband IoT and Industrial Automation IoT are launched as new segments, to complement the existing segments Massive IoT and Critical IoT. We’ve also enhanced our Massive IoT offering which, together with new Broadband IoT solutions, are designed to leverage new capabilities across 4G and 5G – connecting service providers with new growth opportunities in industry digitalization.

New Time-Critical Communication

Ericsson Time-Critical Communication (TCC) is designed to resolve lags and interruptions in 5G networks. It combines the 3GPP-specified ultra-reliable low latency communication (URLLC) standard with Ericsson innovations to resolve major causes of latency and to improve reliability.

This innovate new software toolbox is available through our groundbreaking Ericsson Critical IoT product. It is easily deployable as a software upgrade on public and private networks, on any 5G frequency band.

How to make your commute more valuable

Why should time spent commuting be time wasted? Today’s commuters are connected, technologically savvy, and expecting increasingly more from their devices, mobile connectivity, and vehicles on their journeys to work or school. In this Consumerlab report we have gathered the thoughts and sentiments of commuters from 16 major city’s and represents the opinions of 130 million smartphone users globally. We reflect on consumers’ opinions and habits that could be used to offer a more satisfactory commuting experience in the increasingly digital and connected world of tomorrow.

Webinar: Cellular IoT in the 5G era

Almost every industry can be transformed with Cellular IoT. Hear more about a clear evolution plan for addressing all types of 5G-IoT use cases for consumers and enterprises, from basic to the most advanced, in a cost-efficient, smooth and future-proof way with one 5G network.

Ensuring critical communication with a secure national symbiotic network

Governments that want to deploy their own dedicated networks for mission-critical communication stand to gain substantial benefits by doing so using commercial cellular 3GPP technology. This approach enables the creation of a symbiotic network configuration that is capable of addressing all kinds of critical communication needs in a society, thereby supporting both public protection and disaster relief (PPDR) and the ongoing digitalization of society.
