Nokia adds 5G services to its WING IoT platform

Nokia said that operators can access the service with minimal capital expenditure as they do not have to invest in global infrastructure.

This is because WING offers mobile operators a pay-as-you-go business model that allows them to scale up their 5G IoT services faster and more cost-effectively. Nokia argues that this means operators can capture early IoT market share without having to make investments in infrastructure. Nokia WING enables operators to offer 5G IoT services to their enterprise customers with ultra-low latency, high security and enhanced throughput.

The IoT platform means operators will be able to leverage new business models and tap into industries such as connected cars, critical public services, and real-time industrial monitoring and control, as well as remote healthcare. Many of these use cases will place unprecedented demands on latency, the volume and velocity of data and security.

Nokia said WING is architected from the ground up to meet these stringent requirements, leveraging a distributed, flexible architecture that allows seamless upgrade to 5G. Nokia has invested in a 5G WING lab in Dallas, Texas, to which operators around the globe can connect and begin testing 5G IoT use cases.
