Nokia leverages Multi-Access Edge Computing platform together with NTT Labs to cultivate new commercial opportunities in public safety

Nokia will offer comprehensive IoT-based security solution for public venues with a focus on major sport events in Tokyo in 2020

23 February, 2017

Tokyo, Japan - Nokia has demonstrated the benefits of low-latency communications and data pre-processing for the IoT era with a trial of its Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) platform in collaboration with NTT Network Technologies Laboratories. The trial paves the way for the development of a comprehensive IoT-based solution for public safety.

The low-latency benefits of MEC-based analytics are particularly applicable in public safety for facial recognition security applications. Visual identity confirmation at public venues via security cameras has grown in importance, but high latency has presented challenges. Furthermore, the sheer volume of data generated by facial recognition processing has also presented other challenges to efficient security management.

By leveraging each others technologies, Nokia and NTT have been able to counter these issues. Using packet processing for low-latency communications, technologies to effectively utilize network capacity, and correct data for latency, , and Nokias Multi-Access Edge Computing products, the two companies have been able to successfully:

Shorten facial recognition time from monitoring cameras

Facial recognition software located on the carrier network edge can quickly recognize faces in data received from the monitoring cameras and drastically shorten recognition time compared to existing methods where the facial recognition software is located in the cloud.

Eliminate data processing overhead in centralized cloud

With the MEC-based solution, facial recognition video analysis is executed at the carrier network edge. Video camera traffic thus be significantly reduced, avoiding data flooding in a centralized cloud.

Jae Won, head of Nokia Japan, said: Our MEC platform is the sole product in the market today that is able to deal with LTE packets at the mobile edge. This trial is an important milestone for us since it sets the prerequisite for achieving 5G low latency interactive communication that has various benefits in the public safety domain. Together with NTT, we look forward to developing an IoT- and MEC-based security solution that ensures people in public venues are more secure. We will demonstrate this technology at Mobile World Congress 2017 with NTT.
