Nokia today announced the new version of Nokia IMPACT IoT platform for assisting telecom service providers, enterprises and government agencies to deploy IoT services.
Nokia’s Intelligent Management Platform for All Connected Things (IMPACT) provides pre-integrated applications for public sector / smart city and transportation / automotive verticals.
Machine learning-powered video analytics identifies patterns and issues in traffic conditions, crowd behavior and other settings.
Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission considers the Nokia approach unique and is looking forward to testing it out in the field.
“The Nokia video analytics technology addresses a real industry challenge around real-time anomaly detection,” said Scott D. Fairholm, CIO of Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission.

The new IoT platform supports the Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) and LoRa protocols meeting the need for low-power, wide area (LPWA) connectivity options for IoT devices.
The standards-based IoT platform manages data collection, event processing, device management, data contextualization, data analytics and applications enablement for any device, any protocol and across any application.
New features of Nokia IMPACT IoT platform
Interfaces to both licensed NB-IoT and unlicensed LoRa networks provide customers with additional IoT network efficiency improvements via low-power wide area networks (LPWAN).
Supported by Nokia Bell Labs’ machine learning algorithms, IMPACT provides new functionality for IoT applications by detecting anomalies in video feeds in real time, such as traffic accidents, speeding vehicles and unauthorized entry into secure locations, and triggering alerts for further action.
Smart Parking Application allows municipalities to manage inventory, resulting in efficient use of parking spaces, reduced traffic and pollution; provides drivers with real-time information on parking space availability and streamlines payment processes.
Smart Lighting Application enables municipalities to optimize electricity use and reduce costs through real-time inventory management; automatically detects lighting issues and failures to help ensure maximum uptime.
Vehicle Applications enables predictive maintenance, fuel efficiency, supply chain optimization and geo-fencing solutions triggered by vehicle data, including fuel levels, speed and GPS location. This data can be collected from a Connected Head Unit or an aftermarket (ODB2-based) device.
“In addition to delivering industry-leading device management, security and analytics capabilities, IMPACT uniquely provides a single, horizontal platform allowing customers to manage and analyze data across multiple IoT applications,” said Frank Ploumen, CTO of IoT platform and applications at Nokia.
