On November 20th, Ericsson welcomed industry professionals and stakeholders to its "Imagine Live" event in Marvila. The event showcased Ericsson’s innovative technologies and sparking discussions on Europe’s Standalone 5G implementation progress, evolving connectivity solutions, and the need for strategic investments. With demonstrations spanning transportation, automotives, and sustainability, the event highlighted Ericsson’s pivotal role in shaping a connected future.
Exploring Innovation at Ericsson's Imagine Live Event in Marvila:
CLS had the honor of attending an insightful event hosted by Ericsson in Marvila, where industry professionals and enthusiasts gathered to discuss the future of connection and innovation. The event provided an in-depth look at how Ericsson's cutting-edge technology is influencing a variety of sectors, ranging from autodriven cars to airspace management.
Key Takeaways from the Discussions:
One of the main topics of debate was the coverage of 5G. While Europe has made progress in 5G implementation, it lags behind other regions in embracing Standalone 5G(SA5G), which is a vital step towards realizing the full potential of 5G networks. This lag raises concerns about the continent's readiness for the next round of technological advancement.
Another important subject was investments, as sectors rely more on specialized connectivity solutions, pricing structures must evolve to meet a diverse range of customer requirements. There is a need for private and public sector investments as well as collaboration between the two to trigger demand in mission critical networks.
A Glimpse into Ericsson's Technological Prowess:
Ericsson showcased its innovations through a variety of stands, each providing a glimpse into how the company is redefining possibilities across industries such as airspace solutions that enhance safety and efficiency, cutting-edge technology for railway systems, ensuring reliable communication and operation. As well as innovations in autonomous driving, highlighting connectivity’s role in transforming transportation, and more.
The event was a testament to Ericsson's commitment to driving technological progress and enabling industries to leverage connectivity in transformative ways. As the EU works to catch up in SA5G implementation, events like these play a vital role in fostering dialogue and collaboration to overcome challenges and seize opportunities.
The technologies and possibilities presented were inspiring and we look forward to witnessing how Ericsson’s innovations will shape a connected and sustainable future.
