Finland-based telecom equipment maker Nokia is expanding its Internet of Things (IoT) offering for mobile operators.
Nokia said WING market entry services for IoT service providers can identify the best vertical market opportunities in a region, and provides the related IoT applications and go-to-market model to help operators scale fast.
It determines opportunities in nine IoT market segments: connected car, healthcare, logistics and transport, smart cities, utilities, agriculture, retail, smart homes and buildings, as well as connected industry.
The Nokia WING managed service model can provide provisioning, device management, operations, security, customer care and billing for all connected applications. WING market entry services’ hands-on approach of designing the right proposition and go-to-market strategy ensures operators can capture new revenue streams in IoT.
Nokia is also expanding its capabilities in multivendor testing services with Nokia TestHub to help operators to test their solutions and devices across domains and technologies before roll-out.
Nokia’s TestHub service complements device, network, and application testing. As part of the Nokia TestHub, Nokia will provide “Lab as a Service”, which gives customers early access to infrastructure and expertise from Nokia for self-testing of devices, network elements, applications and services.
“IoT deployments are complex, but with our help operators will be able to fast-track their entry into the market as we provide them with a ready-to-go-market and business model and an pre-integrated IoT infrastructure, complete service model and go-to-market support services,” said Friedrich Trawoeger, head of Managed Services at Nokia.
Ankur Bhan, global head of Nokia WING at Nokia, will deliver keynote at the GSMA Global Mobile IoT Summit of the Mobile World Congress Americas in San Francisco.
