Since the Internet of Things is opening plenty of opportunities for businesses, Nokia created a complete solution for operators to simplify the management of millions of IoT device connections, and to help them with the development of IoT applications.
Nokia is now building an ecosystem around IoT. Its portfolio contains radio, which will optimize LTE and TD-LTE cell capacity. The portfolio also contains Core for IoT, which drives down the total cost of ownership for IoT solutions. It also allows for a business mix of high average revenue per connection (ARPC) and low ARPC IoT traffic, according to the company announcement.
The Connectivity Management part of the portfolio allows operators to manage the large amount of connections from sensors and devices. This is useful for when they use SIM connections, because it offers flexible deployment and selectable modules like billing, mediation and CRM.
Also, Nokia's IoT community engages organizations and allows industries to discuss new business models for IoT and how IoT solutions can help with business value.
Developers and business can check out the full portfolio from Nokia today.
