Press Release
- Companies to collaborate with focus on delivery of services for
verticals leveraging key growth areas of smart cities, smart
transportation and intelligent video analytics
- Extends existing 5G collaboration, with China Mobile's 5G
innovation lab to investigate 5G use cases, future network security
and open architecture development
- Strategic technology cooperation agreement signing witnessed by
Shang Bing, Chairman of China Mobile, and Rajeev Suri, President
and CEO of Nokia, ahead of Mobile World Congress 2018
25 February, 2018
Barcelona, Spain - Nokia and China Mobile have signed
an agreement under which the companies will jointly investigate how
China Mobile can extend its service offerings for vertical markets
using the massive connectivity, ultra reliability and ultra-low
latency capabilities of 5G. The research will focus on how
industries could benefit from the growth of smart cities, smart
transportation and intelligent video analytics.
With the deployment of 5G, China Mobile will be able to leverage
network slicing to discretely support myriad new services and
businesses simultaneously with differing service level
requirements. Under the agreement, which extends Nokia and China
Mobile's existing 5G collaboration, the companies will jointly
research and trial use-cases leveraging Nokia 5G Future X network
architecture as well as NB-IoT and MEC. The research, which will
take place at China Mobile's 5G joint innovation lab, will aim to
better understand:
- How industries can be integrated into the smart city ecosystem
to take advantage of the massive new connectivity of people and
things.
- How businesses such as logistics and car rental companies can
benefit from the widespread introduction of 5G-connected automated
vehicles. Nokia and China Mobile will also expand the existing
Car2X trial ecosystem in Wuzhen to advance the use of automated
vehicles, as well as technologies that improve vehicle safety.
- How to further enhance future network architecture security
using intelligent network protection techniques.
- How China Mobile can access and benefit from embedded network
intelligence and the Open Network Automation Platform (ONAP)
architecture to manage and orchestrate services with network
resources, and improve service automation and network
performance.
The signing of the agreement was witnessed by Shang Bing,
Chairman of China Mobile, and Rajeev Suri, President and CEO of
Nokia, at a ceremony in Barcelona, ahead of Mobile World Congress
2018.
Marc Rouanne, president of Mobile Networks at Nokia,
said: "Together with China Mobile we will leverage 5G to
identify the applications that meet future industry needs. At
Nokia, we are bringing our Reefchark chipsets, new advanced
algorithms from our research teams from Nokia Bell Labs, as well as
our Optics, IP and cloud compute technology to boost our end-to-end
5G Future X Network architecture. We are committed to delivering
open architecture development to allow operators such as China
Mobile to leverage network intelligence."
