Prva faza nagradnog konkursa za studente i mala i srednja preduzeća (do 100 zaposlenih) Ericsson Application Award 2011 na temu „Povezanost“ koji je kompanija Ericsson pokrenula širom sveta uspešno je završena i proglašen je pobednički tim Snow Bugs. Srpski tim Grifon je u jakoj konkurenciji od ukupno 259 učesnika iz više od 40 zemalja uspeo da se kvalifikuje za drugu fazu konkursa.

Od timova se očekuje da u vidu prezentacije jednog poslovnog rešenja povežu različite vrste uređaja koristeći hardverske i softverske komponente iz paketa mobilnih širokopojasnih modula (Mobile Broadband Module Developers Kit) koji obezbeđuje Ericsson. Moduli podržavaju sve mobilne standarde - HSPA, WCDMA, EDGE i GSM - i mogu biti integrisani u bilo koji uređaj koji se oslanja na mobilnu širokopojasnu vezu poput netbook i notebook računara, fiksnih bežičnih terminala, personalnih navigacionih uređaja, foto-aparata i dr. Detalji u vezi sa prijavama za drugu fazu nagradnog konkursa mogu se pogledati na http://www.ericssonapplicationawards.../start-stage-2.

Rok za prijave u drugu fazu konkursa je 10. decembar.
