Nokia Announces its New… Industrial Camera?
This definitely wasn’t on our 2024 bingo card – Finnish tech giant Nokia recently announced that it was launching its first-ever 5G-enabled 360-degree camera, which is designed for industrial applications such as remote equipment operation and monitoring, and more.
The camera also comes with 8K resolution video, and offers different connectivity options such as WiFi and Ethernet in addition to 5G. There’s even a variant that Nokia says is designed to withstand extreme temperatures. By default though, the standard model comes with shock resistance as well as IP67 dust and water protection.
Inside the camera is Nokia’s Real-time eXtended Reality Multimedia (RXRM) software, which allows customers to integrate their custom APIs for use with the camera. Nokia’s Sami Ranta, General Manager for RXRM comments:
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
