Connected devices in an all-communicating world will take to the stage at the
world's largest gathering of consumer electronics enthusiasts and businesspeople
in Las Vegas, when Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) President and CEO Hans Vestberg
delivers a keynote address to the Consumer Electronics Show (CES).
In addition, Ericsson will present the Entertainment Matters program
Entertainment Everywhere, The Reinvention of an Industry at CES, inviting
headliners from the entertainment business to discuss changing business models
brought on by mobility and broadband.
Vestberg will emphasize the opportunities that arise when all consumer devices
can communicate, and give examples of business potential in industries beyond
telecoms.
In addition, new research from Ericsson ConsumerLab offers insights on
communication habits of young people between the ages of 13-17. Their behavior
has important implications for the future of devices and technology.
At Entertainment Matters, Ericsson has invited speakers from Warner Bros.
Television, Sony Music, Pandora and ad Tech. The three sessions aim to spur
discussions on how mobility and connectivity are changing the future of
entertainment.

Demos
Connected Tree
Our "Twittering Tree" senses changes in the electromagnetic field around it as
people pass, and sends Tweets that reflect its mood directly to its Twitter
account, ConnectedTree. This tree also reacts to people's presence and movements
by playing music, speaking and turning on and off lights.
Social Web of Things
Social Web of Things from Ericsson Research shows that people in general find it
hard to relate to technical networks and do not feel comfortable managing them.
Instead we should set up the internet of things like a human network. We have a
relationship with our things, and our things have relationships with each other.
We are providing a glimpse of a possible future beyond the internet of things.
What is about to happen is that things will have 'friends' - and post messages,
follow news feeds, and even chat with other things and/or friends.
Connected Healthcare
Envision how real-time connectivity can change an entire industry. In
healthcare, for example, providers can use the existing networks to provide live
interactive video between a visiting nurse and a doctor who can use voice,
video and file transfer solutions to improve patient care. Our demonstration
will show how these services can be used focusing on Ericsson's solution
integration capabilities.
And more.
