Nokia Networks is showing the possibilities of mobile connectivity for the Internet of Things (IoT) at Mobile World Congress 2015 with ‘live’ demonstrations including that of its 5G radio equipment. Visitors can also see LTE optimised for the specific needs of sensor and machine networks, the company said in a written statement.
With IoT, critical new security capabilities will be needed at the device and network levels. Nokia said it had proven experience in delivering highly secure networks, and was launching its extended Mobile Guard solution for state-of-the-art security control to address complex IoT applications including Smart City, eHealth, and Smart Grid.
Real time IoT will require even more reliable communication links, lower transmission delays (latencies) and extreme throughput to serve the data transmitted by hundreds of billions of sensors and machines. Nokia Networks has already been providing IoT-ready radio and core networks that meet today’s needs for machine-type connectivity. These networks support powerful capabilities for handling massive amounts of signaling and transaction traffic as well as for efficient management of machine data. Also, it provides a comprehensive range of security solutions, too.
Kathrin Buvac, Vice President, Strategy at Nokia Networks, said in a statement that the IoT opened up tremendous potential to expand the human possibilities of technology. “At Nokia Networks, we are already demonstrating key technologies like 5G that will make mobile networks the natural choice for bringing these possibilities to reality.”
