Ericsson and Facebook create Innovation Lab for Internet.org - Seite 2

"The goals of internet.org are very much aligned with our long-standing ideal that communications is a basic human need," said Johan Wibergh, Executive Vice President and Ericsson's Head of Business Unit Networks. "The creation of the lab will provide a unique environment for testing and ultimately optimizing applications regardless of network, device or operating system. The collaboration with app developers will provide Ericsson with invaluable understanding of their requirements on our networks, which we can apply to ensure the continued development of the best performing networks globally."

Ericsson Device and Application Verification services is an integral part of Ericsson's vision for the Networked Society in which the number of connected devices will increase, providing new services for people in all walks of life. It will become increasingly important for application developers, vendors and operators to stay competitive and deliver high-quality services and a positive network experience.

The service, announced at Mobile World Congress 2013, enables application developers, device and chipset vendors, as well as other players in the ecosystem of mobile and fixed telecom services, the ability to test and verify the devices and applications in wireline, mobile 2G, 3G and LTE networks.

During Mobile World Congress 2014 in Barcelona, Spain, Ericsson is showing world-leading technology and service capabilities and innovations. We believe that anything that benefits from a connection will be connected, and we lead the way with solutions that drive the development in mobility, broadband and the cloud, creating the foundation for eco-systems and transformation across industries. We are your guide in the Networked Society.
