Nokia today announced that DISH Network has chosen Nokia’s cloud-native, standalone Core software products to help it build the most advanced, disruptive, fully-automated, cloud-native 5G network in the U.S. with high-level scale, performance, and efficiency.

    The deal follows months of joint testing as Nokia and DISH proved their respective “any cloud” capabilities in multiple cloud environments, along with Nokia’s ability to integrate and deliver a fully cloud-native, containerized, end-to-end solution.

     LS ELECTRIC, one of South Korea’s biggest providers of electric power equipment and automation solutions, and Nokia have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate on creating intelligent and analytics-based platforms to evaluate the performance of utility assets. This platform will allow LS ELECTRIC’s customers to proactively manage mission-critical asset performance by identifying root causes and adapting to changing conditions in order to better maintain or replace assets quickly and efficiently.

    Under the agreement, LS ELECTRIC and Nokia will conduct a Proof of Concept (PoC) trial of Nokia’s SpaceTime asset lifecycle optimization application, prior to rolling out the solution to LS ELECTRIC’s customers. By leveraging the solution’s risk analysis capabilities, customers can improve operational efficiency by maximizing asset lifespan and improving visibility of their probability of failure.

Nokia’s SpaceTime asset lifecycle optimization platform – based on big data analytics and machine learning technology – will enable LS ELECTRIC to enhance its offerings in the utility asset market by adding assessment capabilities to its asset portfolio.
