data and supports the creation of immersive digital apps
- Collector Swedish Open app will enable tennis
fans around the world to watch the TV broadcast, and switch freely

Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) is using its Networked
Event platform to enable tennis fans around the world to follow the
Collector Swedish Open - which takes place in BĂ„stad, Sweden, from
July 13 to 19 - on their mobile devices. Apps for iOS and Android
will enable tennis fans to not only watch the TV broadcast but also
switch freely between all courtside cameras at the event. The
Ericsson Networked Event platform gathers data linked to the
tournament, stats, records, photos, films, live reporting, and
match results to facilitate the creation of apps with an immersive
digital experience.
Ericsson Networked Event debuted at the 2015 FIS
Nordic World Ski Championships in Falun, Sweden, enabling the
creation of apps and supporting the event's official website. The
platform takes in all of the data feeds associated with an event,
provides context for this information and enables it to be exported
via a set of application programming interfaces. App developers can
then use this content to create digital experiences to complement
the live event. Ericsson will continue to make Networked Event
available to support events of all kinds.
Orvar Hurtig, Head of Industry & Society at Ericsson, says:
"Ericsson Networked Event creates a great second-screen experience
for viewers, leveraging our Multiservice Delivery Platform, M2M
Data Management and Mediaroom Reach TV solutions. As a global
company, we're particularly proud that we will enable viewers
around the world to watch the Collector Swedish Open - regardless
of their geographic location."
Taking place at this year's Collector Swedish
Open, the Ericsson Executive Media Summit brings together
representatives from technology companies, content owners,
broadcasters, newspapers and advertisers to share their experiences
and challenges. Mobile and digital technologies are rapidly
changing users' everyday media consumption habits, the new ways to
experience live sporting events being just one example. This change
places great demands on the media industry which is facing major
challenges - and opportunities.
Participants in this year's Executive Media
Summit, which takes place from July 17 to 19, include executives
from Google, HBO, BBC, Discovery Networks, MGM, MTG, Walt Disney
Co., UEFA, Aftonbladet, China Network Television, Deezer, Fox, and
United Screens.
