Nokia launches Mobile Edge Computing-based enterprise applications
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Press Release
* MEC to enable private, low-latency applications tailored to specific
enterprise needs
* Data-intensive applications enable object tracking, video surveillance and
analytics to enhance operations and security for industrial facilities,
transport hubs, hospitals and other verticals
* Robust, secure connectivity for business-critical dedicated LTE networks in
licensed and unlicensed spectrum as well as via 'Wi-Fi Controller as a
Service'
19 September, 2016
Espoo, Finland - Nokia is to extend its application of Mobile Edge Computing
(MEC) so enterprises can take advantage of applications using low latency,
business-critical mobile broadband networks to satisfy all their communications
needs, enhance operations and reduce costs.
Nokia's Mobile Edge Computing platform will extend the possibilities of the
connected world to myriad enterprises such as warehouses, factories,
transportation hubs, campuses and hospitals, connecting personnel and automating
workflows. Nokia is today launching three enterprise-specific MEC applications:
* Object tracking to allow the tracking of assets and personnel to centimeter-
level accuracy. The tagging and tracking of baggage carts in airports,
wheelchairs and expensive medical equipment in hospitals and assets in
warehouses, will maintain constant visibility, reducing theft and security
risks.
* Video surveillance extended from the operations room to mobile devices,
allowing security personnel to access any feed reliably at any time,
wherever they are.
* Video analytics, using Mobile Edge Computing to analyze data feeds from
security cameras, alerting staff to investigate irregular activity
immediately.
Nokia will provide an AppFactory environment for the creation of applications to
meet the specific needs of enterprises and will support the integration of
existing enterprise applications to the MEC environment.
To allow enterprises to take advantage of these applications and reduce the time
and costs of maintaining legacy platforms, Nokia will provide connectivity to
robust, dedicated, low-latency, networks using MEC to process data closer to end
users, in conjunction with any combination of small cells and macro base
stations. The company will initially enable connectivity over existing licensed
LTE spectrum, working together with operators to transform portions of their 4G
networks into discrete private LTE networks as well as over Wi-Fi networks via
its 'Wi-Fi Controller as a Service offer'. In a future development Nokia will
leverage LTE in the unlicensed spectrum using its MulteFire* technology.
Christian Renaud, Research Director, 451 Research said: "Nokia has created an
entirely new customer market with this offer. By enabling robust local
enterprise applications across secure mobile networks, Nokia will equip
enterprises with a new level of accuracy and transparency in their operations,
while at the same time enabling cost and operational efficiencies."
Dirk Lindemeier, head of Mobile Edge Computing and Wi-Fi products at Nokia,
said: "Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) allows enterprises to take advantage of the
latest generation LTE technology, in particular small cells, and real time
applications for building complete campus networks. These networks meet the
demanding privacy, resilience, and latency requirements set by business-critical
applications, extending LTE to new domains.
