Happy Swedish. Since December, the inhabitants of Stockholm can subscribe to the very mobile broadband. TeliaSonera sells for des 4 G ou LTE, qui multiplient par 10 les débits réels observés sur les réseaux de données existants (3 G) 4 G or LTE, multiply by 10 real flows observed on existing data (3 G) networks: transmission speed reached tens of megabits per second. What Exchange large files, make videoconferencing or connect to the intranet of business in any fluidity, as if it were in the Office. Of course, with 1,000 subscribers, mainly businessmen, that is not much world experience in a large research centre. In addition, these privileged may yet... call since there is not yet of LTE handsets. But Teliasonera, which had been blowing the 3 G licences in his own country, washed the affront by the first world.
Stockholm is also a showcase for the national manufacturer Ericsson, which has deployed these 200 antennas. The global leader of mobile networks, with 35 of market share, has already signed 6 LTE commercial contracts: three in the United States, with Verizon, ATT, MetroPCS, Sweden and Norway with Teliasonera, and the Japan with NTTDocomo. It also participates in a quarantine of pilots in the world, to Alcatel-Lucent, Nokia Siemens Networks and Huawei. "We are well positioned in this market, because we have more than 25,000 active patents in mobile and we are very influential in the standardisation bodies", believes Viktor Arvidsson, Director of strategy and regulatory affairs at Ericsson France.

Change of scale
At Barcelona, in February, the CEO of the Swedish group, Hans Vestberg, impressed telecom world by providing that it would be 50 billion devices connected to the Internet via mobile networks in ten years. "In the US, the operators speak for a 400 mobile penetration rate." "The model of the industry is changing of scale", reflects Viktor Arvidsson. Also the phone, the PC, the camera or the Tablet, other machines will get to communicate, to manage the energy consumption of the household. "The information technology can contribute to height of the third to the objectives of reducing emissions of CO2 that has set for itself the France 2020," said Viktor Arvidsson, while recalling that Ericsson was a pioneer of the "green" mobile stations for more than fifteen years. Some industries will be upset, health education. The cars are connected, for example, should happen faster can imagine, because they will be used to manage traffic: they will report to those that follow the traffic jams, sudden braking, potholes in the road...
This is why Ericsson does not expect the LTE, which will be its infancy until 2012, to increase flows. In Sweden, with the operator 3, the group will push the 3 G for unpublished 84 Mbps speeds.
Moreover, the Group prepares for the arrival of new economic models related to the mobile Internet. On the one hand, it will have to help operators to reduce ballooning costs due to the explosion of data traffic, producing efficient equipment. On the other hand, while the Chinese competitors but also specialists of the Internet (Cisco, Juniper) beset the Ericsson market, it strengthens position in services and diversifies for three years in the multimedia: by buying companies as Tandberg TV, for the management of video streams, either by developing platforms for management transactions, intermediation between operators and service providers... In five years, announced Hans Vestberg, Ericsson will be a software publisher.
