Today consumers increasingly want more diverse features, ubiquitous connectivity, mobile broadband access and broadcast reception with seamless convergence between devices and technologies. No other player on the market can cater to these requirements as completely as ST-Ericsson or apply the same level of innovation and integration know-how.
By 2014 it is estimated there will be more than 2.5 billion mobile broadband subscriptions. In addition, ABI research estimates machine-to-machine volumes will increase to more than 200 million by 2012. ST-Ericsson has a premier position in the ecosystem, with a deep-seated heritage in modem technologies for multimode platforms. We have strong relationships with operators and cooperate closely with standardization/testing/validation bodies. We also have a unique competence in being able to integrate multiple radio technologies into a single complete platform.
ST-Ericsson has an ever-expanding portfolio complemented by unmatched integration expertise. We offer everything from slim modems for connected devices and access technology evolution from GSM/ EDGE/WC DMA/TD-SCDMA/HSPA/LTE. We are also leaders in machine-to-machine systems.
We are an industry leader in HSPA, LTE and TD platforms. In 2008 we became the first to unveil an LTE compatible platform, commercially available in 2010. In collaboration with Ericsson, ST-Ericsson has achieved mobility between LTE and HSPA networks, using a multimode LTE/HSPA device.
