Nokia will attend the MWC in 2016 to review progress on the 5G

Nokia confirms its participation at Mobile World Congress 2016. For the Finnish company, it is time to show the public the latest progress made in the 5G networks.

Nokia confirms the participation in the Mobile World Congress 2016, providing it with a press release interesting details about it. The focus of the Finnish company, the undisputed leader of the time of mobile and smartphone market, will focus on the latest advances in the telecommunications sector, with specific reference to 5G data networks.

An activity which is, at present, the main core business of Nokia and which will be visible milestones also achieved thanks to a complex series of demonstration sessions. The target audience, for obvious reasons, does not coincide with the consumer audience than with that of the operators, but by technological progress made by Nokia, indirectly, will also reap the benefit end users. Just pass the list of sectors under review in which it can be applied to the 5G technology developed by the Finnish company to perceive the practical implications – they range from self-driving cars, the Virtual Reality to get to industrial robotics.

Nokia 5G

Among the various, demonstrations carve out its own space rightfully those of Nokia Bell Labs relating to a technology for transferring data of 5G networks, which allows to reach a maximum peak of 30 Gbps and to have more than 1 million simultaneous connections in a single cell. The bandwidth, together with the ” virtually zero latency ” makes 5G developed by the technology suitable for a very broad scope of application, which also includes areas where the reliability and speed of the connection depends on particularly sensitive activities.

In specific, Nokia will present at the Mobile World Congress 2016 different use cases, including among others things.

  • 5G autonomous driving cars: the cars to autonomous driving, which require an uninterrupted data connectivity, fast and stable to operate properly, will benefit from 5G connectivity at extremely low latency developed by Nokia.
  • In industrial robotics the same strengths (speed, low latency and reliability) will be useful to achieve the network infrastructure needed to synchronize the robot with each other and with the operating center. The result pointed to Nokia is the creation of a standard industrial network infrastructure for the management of robotic systems.
  • The use of 5G connectivity in the stadiums will involve the spectator by sending extra content to smartphone in real time, from the live video feed captured by cameras positioned at various points of the stadium.
  • Virtual reality: telepresence applications and remote collaboration will benefit from equal to 1 millisecond latency, and high bandwidth. Cooperate remotely within a common virtual space without interaction delays.

For completeness, please note that you should not harbor any illusions about the return of Nokia in the smartphone segment in the short term. Participation in the MWC 2016 will focus on quite different issues, as clearly confirmed, although there are cyclical rumor on the desire to return to performing the activity that has made the Finnish company in the consumer segment (a return that might simply result in the exploitation of resources developed within the smartphone using the instrument of the concession licensed).

All hypotheses about it are far-fetched at the time, and they will be until the end of 2016, after which date the ban will not distribute branded smartphone Nokia arising from their sales of Microsoft’s mobile division. In the immediate future of the former phone giant include mainly investments in the network infrastructure.
