Nokia 5G 360 Camera

Nokia says it has launched the world’s first 5G-enabled 360° camera for industrial usage. The camera is designed for harsh industrial conditions and comes with cybersecure software and built-in security hardware.

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 minimising the need for extensive use of traditional cameras at industrial sites and entertainment events. The entry-level Wi-Fi variant offers the full benefits of 8K 360° multimedia streaming, while the Extreme Temperature variant enables product deployment in more demanding environments.

The ability to transmit video and audio over private and public wireless networks enables real-time remote-control usage, enabling users to reduce the risk of accidents and increasing operational efficiency. Coupled with Nokia Real-time eXtended Reality Multimedia (RXRM) software, the camera offers a full end-to-end solution for those 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; users can implement analytics, overlays, extended reality and novel innovations on top of immersive live video. The software’s 360° video and spatial audio are designed to increase the accuracy of what users see through near-instant, ultra-HD content streaming, providing immersive experiences that could 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 potential for this technology to make industrial processes safer, faster and more efficient.
