11 September 2017
Espoo, Finland - Nokia is expanding its Internet of Things
(IoT) services offering to help mobile operators enter new IoT
market segments or expand their footprint geographically. In
addition, the company has complemented its end-to-end validation
and testing services with Nokia TestHub, designed to accelerate new
technology launches, for example in IoT and the cloud.
WING market entry services is a consultative offering for
operators that identifies the best vertical market opportunities in
a region, and provides the related IoT applications and
go-to-market model to help operators scale fast to take advantage
of the rapidly growing IoT market. It determines opportunities in
nine IoT market segments: connected car, healthcare, logistics and
transport, smart cities, utilities, agriculture, retail, smart
homes and buildings, as well as connected industry. Once a service
is up and running, the Nokia WING managed service model can provide
provisioning, device management, operations, security, customer
care and billing for all connected applications. WING market entry
services' hands-on approach of designing the right proposition and
go-to-market strategy ensures operators can capture new revenue
streams in IoT.
Besides market entry services under the WING solution, Nokia is
expanding its capabilities in multivendor testing services with
Nokia TestHub to help operators to test their solutions and
devices extensively across domains and technologies before
roll-out. Validation testing of solutions and services both in the
lab and in the field is essential to accelerating not only
commercial IoT launches, but also cloud and eventually 5G launches.
Nokia is therefore introducing this new service, which complements
device, network, and application testing. Automation in testing is
critical to keeping pace with accelerating service launches, and
frees up critical resources in a DevOps environment. As part of the
Nokia TestHub, Nokia will provide "Lab as a Service", which gives
customers early access to state-of-the-art infrastructure and
expertise from Nokia for self-testing of devices, network elements,
applications and services.
Friedrich Trawoeger, head of Managed Services at Nokia,
said: "IoT deployments are complex, but with our help operators
will be able to fast-track their entry into the market as we
provide them not only with a ready-to-go-market and business model,
but also with a pre-integrated IoT infrastructure, complete service
model and go-to-market support services. With our testing services
we can ensure smooth launches for our customers, which are critical
to maintaining great experience for their customers."
