Q . WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR GOALS FOR IOT AT ERICSSON ?
» Said plainly , we want to be the best for our partners and customers .
This means having a truly global reach for borderless coverage , providing our customers with industry-leading capabilities and service-levels , leveraging Ericsson ’ s amazing cellular technologies to power businesses , and powering growth on demand as innovation becomes the norm .
“ THE MOST EXCITING PART OF THIS INDUSTRY IS WHAT IS YET TO COME , AS THE INNOVATION WE ARE SEEING RIGHT NOW IS ALREADY MIND-BLOWING ”
“ I THINK THERE IS FANTASTIC
IDEATION IN PLACES LIKE TELE-HEALTH
AND TELE-MEDICINE SPURRED BY THIS
PANDEMIC ”
Q . MORE GENERALLY , WHAT ARE SOME OF THE BIGGER HURDLES THAT STAND IN THE WAY OF INCREASED IOT ADOPTION , LIKE SECURITY FOR EXAMPLE ?
» Each industry is going through their own unique adoption curve with their own unique hurdles , but there are some consistencies across the ecosystem . Managing a massive amount of devices across an ecosystem is a challenge , so they need the right platform to make their lives easier and simpler with less manual effort ; keeping their data pipeline robust and intact while generating meaningful insights and action plans is essential ; and refactoring their environments to be “ smart ” requires world-class connectivity solutions that are easy to implement and manage .
Some industries , take utility distribution for example , are based on a 100-year old architecture and are starting to deploy smart sensors to modernise their distribution capabilities .
Digital transformation and implementation of IoT in the utility vertical will then have a very different journey versus an automotive manufacturer building a brand new factory using cobotics , robotics , smart connections on the shop floor and in the cars , etc .
