Boris Drilo commented on Ericsson Nikola Tesla activities in ITS segment: „ITS is one of the answers to one of the most important questions of developed world – development of sustainable traffic solutions. Here ICT technologies are of a great significance because by their implementation available traffic capacities can be used at most. We are proud upon the fact that we in Ericsson Nikola Tesla actively participate in designing Ericsson solutions in this area.”
