Skanska and Ericsson partner to make environmentally-smart buildings smarter with Radio Dot System - Seite 2

Arun Bansal, Senior Vice President and Head of Business Unit Radio, Ericsson, says: "Ericsson shares Skanska's commitment to sustainability so we are excited to work with them to jointly deploy the Ericsson Radio Dot System for both 3G and LTE, evaluate opportunities for scaling, and explore different use cases from consumer mobile voice and data to new IoT applications.  The Radio Dot's iconic design is welcome in any environment and the benefits it delivers have already been proven around the world."

The Ericsson Radio Dot System introduces a revolutionary antenna element which delivers mobile broadband access to users. It is compact, weighing less than 300 grams, and very easy to install. With its convenient size, scalability, and compelling evolution path (synchronized with the macrocell network), the Radio Dot System caters to both business and consumer users in a broad range of buildings and venues.

Skanska, with operations in Europe and the United States, is no stranger to iconic design.  The company was responsible for the construction of 30 St Mary Axe, an iconic landmark on the London skyline (affectionately referred to as "The Gherkin") designed to high sustainability standards and efficient and effective use of energy.  Sustainability was also a focus when Skanska designed and built Metlife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, the home of the New York Giants and the New York Jets and the official site of Super Bowl XLVIII in 2014.  Skanska's commitment to green construction practices extends to their own work environments.  Skanska USA occupies an entire floor in the Empire State Building that has been designed and renovated to exceptionally high sustainability standards earning a LEED-CI Platinum certification, the highest level awarded by the United States Green Building Council. 

Skanska will join Ericsson at the Mobile Trends and Transformation Media Group Briefing in the Ericsson stand at MWC 2015 in Hall 2 Wednesday, 04 March 2015, 14:00 - 15:00.  Media may register by contacting [e-mail]
