Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) and China Mobile Communication Co., Ltd. (China Mobile)

collaboration with global leading enterprises of advanced platform, application
and intelligent hardware to drive the rapid development of our industry, and
provides superior applications and services to our customers."
Chris Houghton, Head of Region North East Asia, Ericsson, says: "We are very
proud to be selected by China Mobile as a strategic partner for Internet of
Things. These types of applications will also help promote the development and
