Espoo, Finland - Nokia today announced updates to its Intelligent Management Platform for All Connected Things (IMPACT), making it easier for customers to deploy new services and business models for key IoT vertical applications, including smart parking, smart lighting and transportation/automotive.
Nokia IMPACT gives communication service providers, enterprises and governments a secure, standards-based platform on which to build and scale new IoT services. It manages data collection, event processing, device management, data contextualization, data analytics and applications enablement for any device, any protocol and across any application. It also features robust, multi-layered security across the platform to safeguard data, identities and devices.
The latest version of the Nokia IMPACT IoT Platform provides new capabilities and a suite of pre-integrated applications that allow customers to easily create and deploy secure revenue-generating IoT services. New features of the Nokia IMPACT IoT platform include:
Frank Ploumen, CTO of IoT platform and applications at Nokia, said: "In addition to delivering industry-leading device management, security and analytics capabilities, IMPACT uniquely provides a single, horizontal platform allowing customers to manage and analyze data across multiple IoT applications. This makes each application richer and the insights more valuable. Our focus is on enabling customers to more easily build and deploy new, high-value services and business models while keeping data secure and optimizing the network infrastructure efficiency."
Scott D. Fairholm, CIO, Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission, said: "The Nokia video analytics technology addresses a real industry challenge around real-time anomaly detection. PTC considers the Nokia approach unique and is looking forward to testing it out in the field."
About the Nokia IMPACT IoT Platform
The Nokia IMPACT IoT platform was developed to address a fragmented and complex IoT ecosystem, comprised of disparate applications and devices. Its common platform provides horizontal services for all IoT applications, enabling customers to streamline their operations by automating the management of IoT devices and applications.
The Nokia IMPACT IoT platform includes Nokia's connected device management, the industry's leading converged device management solution that provides lifecycle management for more than 80,000 models of broadband, home and IoT devices.
It also features the Nokia NetGuard Endpoint Security (NES) network-based anti-malware solution. Analyzing traffic patterns from within the network, NES is much more efficient than traditional antivirus software, as it cannot be disabled and protects IoT devices without requiring any on-board security software, enabling customers to deliver superior protection while providing valuable insight to better manage and maintain the security of IoT-based networks.
Deployed by a number major tier-one communications service providers, the Nokia IMPACT IoT Platform includes the following additional benefits:
Availability
The latest version of the Nokia IMPACT IoT Platform is expected to be available in 2Q 2017. For more information, visit the Nokia IMPACT website.
