#MWC19: Nokia launches Cognitive Collaboration Hubs to help operators design 5G networks and create AI-enabled use cases
February 14 2019 - 3:16AM
Press Release
- The hubs provide data science expertise and cross-functional
support to help operators to quickly develop tailored cognitive use
cases
- Driver Behavior Analytics use case offers real-time insights
into driver performance to improve road safety and passenger
experience
- Nokia AI capabilities also being applied to design of 5G
networks
14 February 2019
Espoo, Finland - Nokia, in advance of Mobile World Congress
2019, today announced that it is opening a network of Cognitive
Collaboration Hubs. These data science centers will further the
cooperation between Nokia, operators, and enterprises under one
roof in order to develop innovative, AI-powered use cases. One such
use case is Driver Behavior Analytics that aims to improve road
safety by providing real-time analysis of driver performance and
road conditions. By hosting development on the Nokia AVA cognitive
services platform, the hubs will reduce operators' time to market
and increase their return on investments in data analytics.
The Cognitive Collaboration Hubs build on the success of Nokia
Cloud Collaboration Hubs established in 2018, which have attracted
substantial interest from operators to help them build new
cloud-based capabilities.
The hubs provide a catalyst for operator strategy development
and help them solve key challenges by applying analytics and
Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques. Agile development
processes are used to jointly create use cases, test and put them
into operation within weeks. Typical application areas focus on
network operations, network performance, customer experience and
data monetization. 5G is another key focus, and Nokia is currently
working with several US operators on the use of machine learning to
improve 5G network planning - for example to help identify the best
site locations or Massive MIMO beamforming configurations.
John Byrne, Service Director for Telecom
Technology & Software, Global Data, said: "Network
operators are eager to deploy AI to improve network operations and
strengthen customer relationships. Nokia's Cognitive Collaboration
Hubs can help accelerate those plans by providing a space for
operators, partners and enterprises to co-create new AI solutions
utilizing a mix of data science and telco domain expertise."
Operators around the world have already benefitted from the
cognitive services created using these methodologies. For
example, in Turkey, Nokia and Türk Telekom are testing machine
learning based artificial intelligence technologies on new
generation mobile and fixed networks by using Nokia's artificial
intelligence assistant MIKA and AVA cognitive services platform.
Dennis Lorenzin, Head of the Network Cognitive Service Unit
at Nokia said: "Nokia Cognitive Collaboration Hubs are yet
another step in the expansion of our data analytics and AI services
capabilities, which are widely recognized as industry-leading.
Building on our data science and telco expertise, we are helping
our customers apply AI technologies to improve their operational
efficiency, prepare their networks for 5G, and generate new
revenues."
Nokia is also announcing a new innovation to improve road safety
and passenger experience. Driver Behavior Analytics provides
real-time analysis of data from commodity sensors delivering useful
data insights for government authorities, the automotive industry
and commercial enterprises. Advanced insights derived using a
proprietary smartphone application to deliver information on
aggressive driving, inadequate road conditions or dangerous
junctions.
Nokia is a global leader in 5G with the industry's only
end-to-end portfolio that is available globally. With more than 70
engagements underway, our 5G solutions, software and services allow
our customers to take advantage of the promise of this next
generation of network technology. Learn more about Nokia 5G.
