Nokia launches world's first 5G 360° camera for industrial use
Nokia announced that it is launching the world's first 5G-enabled
360° camera for industrial usage.
The
camera is designed for harsh industrial conditions and comes with cyber-secure
software and built-in security hardware. The camera is the result of long-term
extensive Nokia multimedia research and contains many of Nokia's
ground-breaking innovations.
Waterproof
(IP67) and shock-resistant, the camera provides 8K streaming with low-latency
high-resolution 360° video coupled with spatial audio over 5G, Wi-Fi, and
Ethernet, enabling versatile usage scenarios and minimizing the need for
extensive use of traditional cameras at industrial sites and entertainment
events. The Nokia 360 Camera (WiFi variant) provides a cost efficient solution
with full benefits of 8K 360° multimedia streaming, and the Nokia 5G 360 Camera
– Extreme Temperature variant enables product deployment in extreme
temperatures.
The
ability to transmit video and audio over private and public wireless networks
enables real-time remote-control usage, enabling customers to reduce the risk
of accidents and increasing reliability and operational efficiency. Coupled
with the leading Nokia Real-time eXtended Reality Multimedia (RXRM) software
solution, the camera completes a full end-to-end solution for customers seeking
real-time remote use cases such as situational awareness, remote monitoring,
remote inspection or teleoperation of industrial equipment.
Nokia
RXRM provides extensive APIs for customer AI platforms to benefit from 360°
video and 3D OZO Audio. Customers can implement analytics, overlays, extended
reality and novel innovations on top of immersive live video. RXRM's
ground-breaking 360° video and spatial audio increases the accuracy of what
users see through near-instant, ultra-HD content streaming. It provides truly
immersive experiences that will redefine the ways in which people work together
in industrial context.
RXRM
customers in different fields are already using the technology for a variety of
use cases, delivering on the vast potential for this immersive technology to
make industrial processes safer, faster and more cost efficient.
Finnish
company Callio Pyhãjãrvi is an early RXRM customer, and they have repurposed
Europe's deepest mine (Pyhãsalmi mine: 1,445 meters) into a multidisciplinary
operating environment for R&D, remote operations, training and for
spearheading the latest technologies for the mining industry globally.
Sami Ranta, General Manager, RXRM, Nokia,
said: "Nokia RXRM allows industrial customers to enhance their
business processes, saving costs from product support to field operations.
Adding a 5G-enabled industrial camera product to RXRM now offers a complete
solution for real-time remote use cases such as situational awareness, remote
monitoring, teleoperation and stadium scale sports and entertainment
events."
Sakari Nokela, Chief Development Officer, Callio Pyhãjãrvi,
said: "The Nokia 5G 360 Camera is a true innovation for demanding
industrial use cases. Previously, existing cameras have been unable to meet the
challenges posed by the harsh conditions of mining operations in Callio
Business Park. With the trusted Nokia product reliability and security, this
camera effectively addresses a critical gap in the market."
