Nokia, a leading mobile phone company, is expanding its reach into the metaverse. The Finnish company is utilizing this innovative technology to offer remote assistance to workers in beer breweries and aircraft technicians.
In 2020, Nokia unveiled a phased plan that reflects its commitment to adapting to changing markets and meeting customer demands. Robert Joyce, the Chief Technology Officer of Nokia Oceania, stated that part of this strategy involves embracing the Metaverse. Nokia will leverage this technology to enhance value chain management in breweries, aircraft technician workshops, and utilize Microsoft HoloLens Augmented Reality features.
In 2021, Nokia announced its intention to launch a data marketplace based on distributed ledger technology (DLT). This platform aims to facilitate secure data transactions and simplify operations for businesses and communications service providers (CSPs).
Nokia’s metaverse plans came to fruition in 2022 with the introduction of two research labs dedicated to exploring possibilities within this virtual space. Additionally, Nokia partnered with an Australian university to establish a 5G-connected microbrewery using metaverse technology. Researchers from the University of Technology Sydney and Dortmund University in Germany collaborated to leverage augmented reality (AR) in this innovative project.
During a recent appearance at the World Economic Forum (WEF), Nokia’s Global Chief Strategy and Technology Officer, Nishant Batra, emphasized that the metaverse would have a more significant and immediate impact on industries rather than on the consumer market.
