In this area, Ericsson shows for the first time "The Social Web of Things. People now want to include things in their social networking, knowing that our lives would be dramatically different if our things could understand us and use that understanding to solve issues in our daily lives. Ericsson presents how this would work in a Social network environment.
In addition, Ericsson and Motorola Solutions will demonstrate how enhanced LTE networks empower innovative, mission-critical public safety applications, delivering them with required priority, security and control.
We are also featuring connectivity solutions for visual communication, smart grids, charging poles, connected car among others.
Consumer services and applications

Network technologies
Use this opportunity to learn about the latest network technologies. This year, Ericsson presents a new strategy for building networks, Heterogeneous Networks (Hetnet) which is required in the world of cloud services on mobile devices. As part of this concept, we present AIR, the recently launched antenna integrated radio unit which drastically cuts energy consumption and installation costs.
Also on show is Ericsson's new generation IP networking portfolio that supports operators in evolving their packet and service infrastructure to connect the "Networked Society". This year, Ericsson launch a number of new products including a new generation routers, Smart Services Router (SSR) that delivers differentiated and personalized services to consumers.
We will also present a number of speed records. To mention a few, join us when presenting multi-carrier HSPA with 168Mbps in the downlink and the latest achievements in LTE.
Talking about high-speeds - the growth in mobile and fixed broadband challenges many operators in handling the capacity in the backhaul. This year, Ericsson showcases three capacity world records live at MWC: world's first 1 Gbit/s microwave connection in traditional frequency channel (28 MHz); world's first 5 Gbit/s microwave hop in new frequency bands and world's first 400 Gbit/s optical DWDM.
In the area, we will also present voice services over LTE, the next step for EDGE Evolution as well as our multi-standard radio base station, RBS 6000, now with fully integrated IP transport.
