10 February 2017
Espoo, Finland - Nokia has created the Nokia worldwide IoT network grid, a 'one-
stop-shop', full service model offering seamless IoT connectivity across
technologies and geographical borders to address the transport, health,
utilities and safety markets.
Nokia WING will manage the IoT connectivity and services needs of a client's
assets, such as connected cars or connected freight containers, as they move
around the globe, reducing the complexity for enterprises who would otherwise be
required to work with multiple technology providers.
Drawing on Nokia's comprehensive technology and services expertise, Nokia WING
can be easily and quickly implemented to provide enterprises with ubiquitous
connectivity, subscription and device management, security and analytics.
Connectivity is enabled by intelligent switching between cellular and non
cellular networks. For example, a shipping container linked by satellite in the
ocean could switch to being connected by a cellular network near a port.
Nokia will offer a full service model including provisioning, operations,
security, billing and dedicated enterprise customer services from key operations
command centers. The company will use its own IMPACT IoT platform for device
management, subscription management and analytics. Nokia IMPACT subscription
management for eSIM will automatically configure connectivity to a communication
service provider's network as the asset crosses geographical borders.
Customers are served on a multi-tenanted basis using a Nokia M2M Core that
includes the Nokia Cloud Packet Core, which gives an enterprise customer access
to their own discrete segment of the network core.
Communication service providers can quickly take advantage of new business
opportunities that will be made available by joining a global federation of IoT
connectivity services. By leveraging their excess network capacity they will be
able to serve enterprises that require near global IoT connectivity, rapidly and
with little effort, to realize new revenue streams. For service providers
planning to launch a new IoT business, Nokia can fast track time to market as
WING also provides a full white label managed service model, allowing them to
offer the service to their customers under their own brand.
Consumers will be able to benefit from a wide range of seamlessly connected IoT
applications and devices as Nokia takes the lead in collaborating with
communications service providers to create one global IoT grid.
Alexandra Rehak, head of Ovum's IoT Practice, said: "Nokia is offering an
innovative approach to IoT enablement with its IoT connectivity as a managed
service offering. The complexity of IoT deployment, service development and
business models makes it imperative for market participants to play to their
strengths and build long-term, flexible partnerships. Nokia's managed IoT
service offering fits well with this requirement. The new offering leverages
Nokia's broad portfolio of technologies and strong expertise in network design
and management, and should open up new business opportunities for operator
customers and large enterprises alike. It offers a new approach to helping
service providers extend their existing network and partnership agreements and
quickly address new markets while focusing on their core competencies."
Igor Leprince, head of Global Services at Nokia, said: "IoT connectivity as a
managed service is an answer for enterprises to the current IoT deployments that
are hampered by the patchwork of business agreements to connect devices around
the world. Nokia WING will provide one global IoT grid. We cannot do this alone,
and we are reaching out to communication service providers across the globe to
collaborate with us so that we can extend the benefits of the connected world to
more industries."
