Ericsson’s latest service-enablement offering is the generator that feeds the official event apps with data in real time, and enables an immersive viewing experience for spectators anywhere. By ingesting all the different types of data associated with the championships, like live TV streams, location data and real-time positioning information from skiers as they race, the system can create an enriched context for all event content. By exposing this premium content in the form of an application programming interface (API), this offering allows event data to be separated completely from application and functionality – reducing development time and increasing re-usability.

NETWORKED EVENT
BRINGING LIVE EVENTS TO A NEW LEVEL
When people come together, when we collaborate, when we work toward a vision, the result
is something greater. That’s when we create things that go far beyond initial expectations,
something more than the sum of the individual parts. When we connect ideas they become
more powerful, more entertaining and provide greater benefit to more people.

NETWORKED
EVENT
The Ericsson Networked Event platform ingests all of the data feeds associated with an event,
like previous winners, world records, historic data, interesting footage, real-time race positions
and live-TV feeds – providing a context for all this information. By mashing live positioning
data together with a race map, for example, a comprehensive overview of the participating
athletes can be simulated. The platform exports this complete picture as a set of application
programming interfaces (APIs), providing solution builders with premium content to create
immersive digital experiences.
