including a global services command center which uses the Nokia
IMPACT IoT Platform with new subscription management for eSIM, and

10 February 2017
Espoo, Finland - Nokia has created the Nokia worldwide IoT
network grid, a 'one-stop-shop', full service model offering
seamless IoT connectivity across technologies and geographical
borders to address the transport, health, utilities and safety
markets.
Nokia WING will manage the IoT connectivity and services
needs of a client's assets, such as connected cars or connected
freight containers, as they move around the globe, reducing the
complexity for enterprises who would otherwise be required to work
with multiple technology providers.
Drawing on Nokia's comprehensive technology and services
expertise, Nokia WING can be easily and quickly implemented to
provide enterprises with ubiquitous connectivity, subscription and
device management, security and analytics. Connectivity is enabled
by intelligent switching between cellular and non cellular
networks. For example, a shipping container linked by satellite in
the ocean could switch to being connected by a cellular network
near a port.
Nokia will offer a full service model including provisioning,
operations, security, billing and dedicated enterprise customer
services from key operations command centers. The company will use
its own IMPACT IoT platform for device management, subscription
management and analytics. Nokia IMPACT subscription management for
eSIM will automatically configure connectivity to a communication
service provider's network as the asset crosses geographical
borders.
Customers are served on a multi-tenanted basis using a Nokia M2M
Core that includes the Nokia Cloud Packet Core, which gives an
enterprise customer access to their own discrete segment of the
network core.
Communication service providers can quickly take advantage of
new business opportunities that will be made available by joining a
global federation of IoT connectivity services. By leveraging their
excess network capacity they will be able to serve enterprises that
require near global IoT connectivity, rapidly and with little
effort, to realize new revenue streams. For service providers
planning to launch a new IoT business, Nokia can fast track time to
market as WING also provides a full white label managed service
model, allowing them to offer the service to their customers under
their own brand.
Consumers will be able to benefit from a wide range of
seamlessly connected IoT applications and devices as Nokia takes
the lead in collaborating with communications service providers to
create one global IoT grid.
Alexandra Rehak, head of Ovum's IoT Practice, said:
"Nokia is offering an innovative approach to IoT enablement with
its IoT connectivity as a managed service offering. The complexity
of IoT deployment, service development and business models makes it
imperative for market participants to play to their strengths and
build long-term, flexible partnerships. Nokia's managed IoT service
offering fits well with this requirement. The new offering
leverages Nokia's broad portfolio of technologies and strong
expertise in network design and management, and should open up new
business opportunities for operator customers and large enterprises
alike. It offers a new approach to helping service providers
extend their existing network and partnership agreements and
quickly address new markets while focusing on their core
competencies."
Igor Leprince, head of Global Services at Nokia, said:
"IoT connectivity as a managed service is an answer for enterprises
to the current IoT deployments that are hampered by the patchwork
of business agreements to connect devices around the world. Nokia
WING will provide one global IoT grid. We cannot do this alone, and
we are reaching out to communication service providers across the
globe to collaborate with us so that we can extend the benefits of
the connected world to more industries."
