Ericsson Experience Zones
At CES, Ericsson will display five key experience zones attendees to journey
through, allowing them to experience "Living Life in the Networked Society."
Mobile Life
Visitors to the Mobile Life zone will explore the connected vehicle, telematics
and a personalized package delivery based on location and authentication. The
street area will showcase small cell solutions for an urban environment, LTE
Broadcast, VoLTE-based communications and interactive billboard advertising.
Working Life
Just as mobility changed the idea that a phone number was a place, the Working
Life zone will show how users experience their new work place as the office,
home, café or even a park bench. Productivity is no longer a desk in an office,
but is now any connected place. Solutions in this zone will include WebRTC
collaboration, cloud tools, VoLTE-based communication capabilities, M2M
management systems and in-building CPE and managed network solutions.
Game Life
The Game Life zone will replicate a basketball arena with bleachers, large video
screens and its own basketball court. The solutions in this zone will include
VoLTE-based communications capabilities, cloud based services for food, tickets
upgrades and merchandise, WiFi-LTE handover solutions, advertising solutions and
key infrastructure devices for high capacity coverage.
Home Life
Technology brings new opportunities to stay connected. Â Connect and communicate
with your home - appliances, devices and tools - to enrich your personal life.
 Personalized content - music, video, books, gaming, TV, social media - that
goes with you wherever you are, delivered with the best quality. The Home Life
zone will showcase the next-generation TV experience, a virtual home gateway,
VoLTE collaboration tools, cloud gaming, media management and wellness
solutions.
Imagine Life
The Imagine Life zone will focus on visionary solutions that will soon impact
how we use
communications platforms and how we will interact with them. The solutions will
include interactive media, touch based communications, window based solutions,
and concepts to use existing communications systems to augment weather
forecasting.
