The world is getting smarter

Article:

By 2020, there will be 25 billion connected devices. Half of these will be connected by mobile technology. This week in Barcelona, Telenor Connexion, AT&T, Vodafone and other operators demonstrate how mobile connectivity will impact our lives.

We live in a connected world that is changing the way we live and work. More and more devices around us become connected and even cities, roads, cars and houses become smart.

At the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, the audience is getting a glimpse into a smarter world – the Connected City.

In a constructed urban environment, which features a department store, a hotel, a street, a town hall and a car showroom you’ll find Telenor Connexion alongside companies like Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone, KT and AT&T – all presenting their products and ways in which intelligent wireless connections can be used to improve people’s daily lives.

Telenor Connexion, which is part of Telenor Digital Services, has their own stand in this connected venue where they are showcasing M2M services in collaboration with long-term customer, Volvo cars. “One of the things that sets us apart is that we take a lifecycle view when connecting products and services,” says Per Simonsen – watch the interview below featuring him and Andrea Sroczynski.
