10 April, 2017
Sydney, Australia - Nokia and the University of Technology
Sydney (UTS) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) under
which Nokia will join the university's UTS: Rapido, a new
technology development unit, and collaborate on developing
IoT-based business applications using high-speed, ultra-low latency
technologies such as 5G.
In the technology partnership with UTS: Rapido - established to
help businesses unlock the potential of IoT - Nokia will work on
advanced engineering projects that support the development of
future network services to address the specific technological
challenges of service providers and enterprises. Nokia and UTS will
also explore the expansion of the advanced engineering activity
into new areas of innovation and poof-of-concept development.
The MoU covers the creation of a collaborative innovation and
training facility at UTS, for which Nokia will provide IP routing,
optical, fixed and 4G and 5G mobile network components, and
applications and analytics platforms for project work and training.
Nokia will also participate on the UTS Faculty of Engineering and
Information Technology advisory board.
In one of the first UTS: Rapido projects, researchers at the
university are integrating video downloads filmed around the world
using the Nokia OZO virtual reality camera into the UTS 3D Data
Arena. This will show how operators could combine 3D footage with
real time data and graphics to explore new services and business
opportunities.
Myriam Amielh, Associate Dean External Engagement, UTS
said: "We are delighted to extend our working relationship with
Nokia. UTS aims to link with major industrial innovators and
deliver outcomes that translate ideas into viable products and
solutions, leveraging advanced technologies. This association will
allow us to contribute our expertise in areas such as 5G, IoT and
data analytics, through UTS: Rapido, to help Nokia's customers
unlock the potential of emerging digital capabilities."
Ray Owen, head of Oceania at Nokia, said: "The successful
implementation of IoT and the connectivity of potentially billions
of devices will rely on the deployment of technologies such as
enhanced 4G and high-speed, low-latency 5G. Through this
collaboration with UTS we can share both our expertise and our
technologies, and help drive Australia's digital transformation. In
turn, we will benefit from gaining even greater insight into how
IoT can be applied to solve the real-world issues of our
customers."
UTS: Rapido leverages the diverse expertise of more than 200
researchers at the university's Faculty of Engineering and
Information Technology. Research is conducted across a broad range
of technology areas including data analytics, cyber security, 5G
and IoT. Nokia and UTS have worked together for more than 15 years
and UTS is a key member of Nokia's Australian graduate program.
