Ericsson (ADR) (NASDAQ:ERIC), ended its Thursday’s trading session with 2.38% gain, and closed at $11.61.
At UITP World Congress and Exhibition, the world`s biggest public transport event, Ericsson (ERIC) is demonstrating a connected bus stop concept that incorporates 3G, LTE or Wi-Fi small cell technology. The connected bus stop`s small cell infrastructure will provide public transport operators with an additional source of revenue, as it can be leased to telecom mobile operators as a means of densifying their networks. In addition to conventional consumer uses for mobile broadband, the connected bus stop will support functionality that is particularly useful for commuters.
In dense urban environments such as shopping, business, entertainment and financial districts, capacity is often stretched to the limit and many networks can`t compriseently deliver high downlink speeds. The connected bus stop - an application of the Small Cell as a Service offering Ericsson launched in 2014 - alleviates this problem by creating a separate small cell access network that is integrated with telecom operators` transmission networks. Ericsson provides the technology and associated services in a partnership with transport operators and local telecom network operators.
This could comprise screens that display real-time information about bus movements and touch-screens that provide access to interactive maps, local news, tourist information and advertising. In addition, a closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera, panic button and push-to-talk functionality could be incorporated to enhance security and make it easy for commuters to contact emergency services or the police.
Ericsson provides communications technology and services worldwide. The companys Networks segment delivers products and solutions for mobile access, Internet protocol (IP) and transmission networks, core networks, and cloud. This segment offers radio access solutions; IP routing and transport solutions; transmission/backhaul solutions comprising microwave and optical transmission solutions for mobile and fixed networks; IP multimedia subsystem solutions; and operations support systems, in addition to supports operators administration of existing networks.
