Nokia, on Tuesday hosted the India Innovation Day 2016 and showcased some of its innovative launches in Networks for Cloud Era, IoT and 5G. The experts at the events demonstrated the new Nokia as an end-to-end player spanning fixed, mobile, IP and optical technologies that will enable the programmable world as more and more people and things get connected.

 

Under Networks for Cloud Era, Nokia demonstrated how networks can benefit from virtualization and automation with less hardware and how all this impacts efficiency, quality, innovation and business opportunities. Through its converged offering for mobile, fixed, IP and optical networks, Nokia is blending connectivity together and providing a new grid for the programmable world.

 

Nokia also demonstrated how it is making IoT a reality for smart cities, smart homes and public safety. The demos showcased how to manage the connectivity of myriad people and things, and how to eliminate “slow and complex” from creating IoT applications - and how it can be done in a secure manner.

 

In 5G, Nokia showcased solutions that underscores its 5G leadership. Nokia has been innovating for 5G that will set the pace and the standards for 5G technology.

 

Jacques Vermeulen, Director Smart Cities, Customer Operations, Nokia talked about how Nokia is making IoT a reality. The world is becoming more urbanized, with exponentially more connected devices. For every device connected to the Internet today, 10 more will join it in the near future. Through IoT and smart city concepts, we can automate our lives by connecting mobile devices to appliances, lights, roadways and just about everything – a shift that will improve efficiency and enable economic, social and environmental sustainability. Nokia provides specific connectivity solutions, platforms and software, combining automation and intelligence, making IoT a reality for smart cities, smart homes & public safety.
