On board the tram of the future: let's find out what can be done


We were in tram of the futureand we came out with the certainty that everything is possible, already now, if you really wanted to run. TO BarcelonaIn short, Ericsson’s stand is one of the most popular for the amount of innovation it contains. And precisely a prototype of public transport, in reality practically now almost available, is the attraction that is the center of the ecosystem that the Swedish company is putting together to ensure that the 5G era really starts.

At the opening of the Mobile World Congress In fact, the president and CEO of Ericsson Börje Ekholm explained that high -performance connection networks are now essential “because they offer higher coverage, higher speed, low latency, energy efficiency and very low costs. This will be increasingly important with the evolution of artificial intelligence applicationsjust as it will be decisive to have a single transmission network for consumer and business applications “. It takes investments, therefore, and here is the point: spending money to have a return to the country system, in a market in which the operators, after the decay of the reduction of prices to attract consumers, need to begin to produce wealth, for their companies but also for the Italian budget.

So: among many partners that Ericsson has gathered there are companies that work on Augmented realityon the stability of video broadcasts even in very crowded places such as football stadiums or squares crowded with people, on the future of integrated mobility, on the development of views that become more and more glasses to make us live a reality full of useful information in real time. Then there is precisely the tram, in which you enter for a demo of 7 minutes and which tells how to go from one place to another can be transformed in time to know what is around, rather than to have Translations in real time If you travel in some foreign country. All by wearing glasses that are increasingly replacing the bulky viewers seen so far.

In short, it is only a taste of what could wait for us shortly, given that the technologies present in Barcelona

they are already ready for use. The last step remains, that of 5gfor which at the moment of scattered order between the various countries of Europe. If we did union here too, that tram could finally start.
