Nokia, Ericsson and Intel Working Together on Next-Generation Wireless Connectivity for Internet of Things Market Segment
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Espoo, Finland - Nokia, Ericsson and Intel Corporation today announced their
support for Narrow-Band Long-Term Evolution (NB-LTE) technology as the ideal
wireless connectivity solution for the growing Internet of Things (IoT) market
segment.
NB-LTE is an optimized variant of the widely deployed 4G LTE technology, and is
well-suited for the IoT market segment because of its low implementation cost,
ease of use and power efficiency. Nokia plans to work closely with Ericsson and
Intel to develop and bring to market the products needed for the
commercialization of NB-LTE timed with market demand.
"We believe in building an ecosystem around NB-LTE to speed up the take-up of
the Internet of Things. This development will bring consumers benefits such as
enhanced and improved connectivity of devices, and at lower cost. This is
another extension of Nokia's aim to improve people's lives through a
programmable world where billions of people, things, sensors and devices are
connected," said Stephan Litjens, vice president, Portfolio Strategy &
Analytics, Nokia Networks.
"Cellular networks already cover 90 percent of the world's population so it
makes sense to leverage this global footprint to support and drive IoT adoption
through the standardization of Narrow-Band LTE. Working with Intel and Nokia,
Ericsson is driving the ecosystem to accelerate IoT growth and ensuring a global
foundation for a vast range of new IoT applications for consumers, industry and
government," said Thomas Norén, vice president and Head of Product Management,
Business Unit Radio, Ericsson.
Intel intends to support commercial roll-out of the technology with a roadmap
for NB-LTE chipsets and product upgrades beginning in 2016 that will enable slim
form factors. The products will add to Intel's growing LTE portfolio. Nokia and
Ericsson will provide the required network upgrades to support an extension of
existing LTE networks with NB-LTE optimized for low power Machine-to-Machine
communication.
"We are excited to collaborate with two leading network vendors Ericsson and
Nokia on the next wave of wireless innovation to connect the growing IoT market
segment, and to further grow the momentum for Intel's LTE portfolio and roadmap
with NB-LTE," said Stefan Wolff, vice president, Platform Engineering Group and
general manager of the Multi-Comms Business Unit, Intel.
