PRESS RELEASE
Nokia and Liberty Global partner on Network-as-a-Service
technology to develop new maritime use cases at Port of Antwerp
#MWC24
- Nokia and Liberty Global conducted
successful trial in Port of Antwerp in Belgium that delivered
high-definition video stream to remotely-located captains, helping
them manoeuvre shipping vessels through busy areas
- Technology – which is being
showcased at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next week - aligns
with GSMA’s Open Gateway framework
22 February 2024
Espoo, Finland and London, UK – Nokia and
Liberty Global, one of the world's leading converged video,
broadband and communications companies, have announced a
partnership in which Liberty Global’s Belgian subsidiary Telenet
utilizes Nokia’s Network as Code platform with developer portal to
enhance the operational efficiency and services offered at the Port
of Antwerp, one of the world’s largest.
To support the creation of new network use cases for the port,
developers use Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and
Software Development Kits (SDKs) – accessed via Nokia’s Network as
Code Platform with developer portal – to obtain network
functionality and data. This access enables developers to build new
applications for use cases that they can sell to their own
customers.
In a recent trial at the port, the two companies demonstrated
how Liberty Global via Telenet’s 5G standalone network with slicing
capabilities can allow remotely-located captains to operate vessels
more safely and efficiently, supported by real-time data made
available through ultra-low latency network capabilities and
zero-touch automation.
The trial – which represents a part of Liberty Global’s Network
as a Service program (NaaS) - was conducted with Belgian partners
Seafar NV, a shipping entity, and imec, a research and innovation
hub for nanoelectronics and digital technologies. The trial used
Nokia’s Network as Code Platform with developer portal, in
combination with imec’s edge application middleware that bridges
the gap between the vessel’s real-time requirements and the 5G
network. These were integrated into Seafar’s Shore Control Center
to address its need for reliable, high-quality, low-latency
connectivity, which existing commercial networks do not
provide.
Dynamic geofences using high-definition cameras and sensors
onboard vessels, which will be combined with AI and machine
learning algorithms in future, were deployed by imec to identify
areas where situational awareness is most crucial. As vessels
approached areas that require increased situational awareness,
network capacity was automatically prioritized to guarantee
high-quality live video feeds. This allowed Seafar’s captains to
manoeuvre vessels through these areas safely, without having to
slow down or wait unproductively during loading and unloading,
improving efficiency and reducing fuel consumption. It also enabled
them to work across multiple vessels at the same time.
The partnership represents a real-life implementation of the
Open Gateway initiative, launched last year by the GSMA, which
calls on the industry to standardise APIs for developers to speed
up innovation.
The use of NAAS technology helps create an ecosystem which
integrates standardised CAMARA APIs on imec’s applications. This
allows an effective and reliable use of network resources, which
are available on demand, while also avoiding the need to deploy a
dedicated and expensive mobile communication infrastructure. By
leveraging a 5G standalone network built in the cloud, customers
only pay for what they need, while also benefiting from a granular
level of control offering maximum flexibility.
Shkumbin Hamiti, Head of Network Monetization Platform,
Cloud and Network Services at Nokia said: “I am very
pleased that Nokia is expanding the possibilities of bringing
simplified network capabilities to developers at the Port of
Antwerp that can be translated into new applications for their
customers. We look forward to expanding our collaboration with
Liberty Global and delivering on our strategic commitment to
leverage the broader B2B digitalization ecosystem at the port.”
Madalina Suceveanu, Managing Director Mobile & Cloud
Technologies, at Liberty Global said: “This multi-faceted
trial simultaneously leverages the power of 5G standalone, cloud,
edge computing and AI-driven computer vision applications. 5G-era
networks are rich in capabilities that can now drive improvements
to customer experiences for both enterprises and consumers in ways
that were simply not possible just a few years ago. The framework
we have developed in partnership with Nokia will give us the
opportunity to access a large untapped market here, plus realize
the development of even more use cases in many other sectors beyond
shipping.”
