› 90% of our time is spent indoors, yet 60% of users are unsatisfied with their
indoor cellular connectivity experience (Source Ericsson ConsumerLab)
› 75% of companies either already allow employees to bring their own devices
or have plans to integrate a BYOD- friendly policy in the near future, namely
due employee availability and productivity increases that follow
(Source TechPro Research)
› 5G Readiness requirements
› IoT and Cloud strategy adoption and deployment
› New and non-traditional players entering the wireless marketplace
› Need to think outside the box, find more cost-effective means to deploy the
required amount of small cells to support evolution of market and customer

Addressing the evolution
Non traditional
operators are going to
be bigger participants
in mobile networks
moving forward –
Ericsson is working to
enable their
contributions
IoT is becoming a major
demand on networks.
Ericsson has designed
solutions that will
support massive
amount of things that
will need to be
connected
5G: Everybody is talking
about 5G and all major
operators are making
plans. Small cells will be
required to deliver 5G
and Ericsson’s robust
portfolio is there to
support the evolution
