Ericsson brings Swedish Open to mobile devices
July 8, 2015
Ericsson is using its Networked Event platform to enable tennis fans around the world to follow the Collector Swedish Open – which takes place in Båstad from July 13th to 19th – 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.
