IoT
Nokia Networks says it has already been supplying IoT-ready radio and core networks that address needs for machine-type connectivity. These networks support minimal latency and include capabilities for handling massive amounts of signaling and transaction traffic as well as for efficient management of machine data.
When an IoT device is hacked and its processor or Internet connection is used for fraud and other attacks, Nokia Networks’ Mobile Guard recognizes these devices and takes actions for mitigation. Some of the use cases include IoT applications including Smart City, eHealth, and Smart Grid.
Nokia Networks will also conduct joint demonstration with Korea Telecom. The demo includes LTE-M prototype to connect a number of wearables, cars and smart grid elements ensuring a battery life of more than 10 years and providing four times more coverage than conventional LTE. This pre-5G technology enables cost-efficient connection of sensors, even in remote or low-coverage locations.
“Internet of Things will be the next big thing in the future of mobile business and we are delighted to collaborate with Nokia on advancing IoT solutions for mobile networks,” said Seong-Mok Oh, head of Network Group, Korea Telecom.
5G
Nokia Networks will showcase prototype 5G mm and cm wave radio systems that operate in the 3.5 – 70 GHz bands for better throughput and low latency. 5G radio equipment on new millimeter and centimeter wave bands are designed to achieve single-digit millisecond latency.
Kathrin Buvac, vice president Strategy at Nokia Networks, said: “We are demonstrating technologies like 5G that will make mobile networks the natural choice for bringing these possibilities to reality,”
