Espoo, Finland - Nokia has signed a Memorandum of
Understanding (MoU) with Marubeni Corporation to develop, test and
deliver the next generation of Internet of Things (IoT) services to
its enterprise customers. The solution will be based on Nokia's
worldwide IoT network grid (WING).
Nokia WING will allow Marubeni Corporation, a Japanese
multinational company with businesses in several sectors, including
mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) operations through its
subsidiary Marubeni Wireless Communication, to rapidly and
efficiently provide complete global IoT services to its enterprise
customers across its five business groups, including food and
consumer products, chemical and forest products, energy and metals,
utilities and transportation and industrial machinery. Such
services could include fleet management, remote monitoring of
industrial machinery, asset management and international
logistics.
The Nokia WING globally distributed Core network and related
managed services enable Marubeni Corporation to become a truly
global IoT service provider, providing low latency services to
their multinational enterprise customers.
Marubeni Corporation's extensive experience in the MVNO/MVNE
business in Japan will enable Nokia to better tailor the IoT
offering to Japanese requirements.
Nokia WING is a 'one-stop-shop' IoT managed service that
includes a pre-integrated global IoT core network, connectivity
management, as well as dedicated IoT operations, billing, security
and data analytics, along with an application ecosystem.
Koji Kabumoto, Executive Officer of ICT, Logistics
& Healthcare Division at Marubeni Corporation, said: "We
are looking forward to this mutually complementary relationship
with Nokia, to enter a new era of the IoT market in Japan and
globally. Nokia WING is a unique service and we are excited about
the prospect of helping our customers easily deploy IoT services to
drive new growth opportunities."
Ankur Bhan, head of WING at Nokia, said: "We are pleased
to be working with Marubeni Corporation, a leader in the MVNO
market in Japan and the industrial IoT market globally. Part of
Marubeni Corporation's company credo since its foundation is
innovation. With this agreement, both companies will deliver truly
innovative global solutions to enterprise companies and customers.
We will be defragmenting global IoT deployments by leveraging
Nokia's WING distributed global IoT network."
