Nokia, TPG and Mediatek are collaborating to showcase the power of carrier aggregation technology in live-streaming 360-degree broadcasts, a key element for future metaverse applications. The demonstration at Nokia’s 5G Futures Lab used multiple sub-6 GHz frequency bands to maximize 5G uplink speeds, enabling real-time transmission of high-quality video. The technology could revolutionize the viewing experience for TV, movies, sports and industrial metaverse scenarios such as remote-controlled robots performing hazardous tasks.

In a recently revealed Q2 report, Nokia showed flat sales at €5.7 billion year over year, suggesting reduced capital expenditure by operators. Interestingly, while a 5% sales growth in Nokia’s Mobile Networks unit occurred, a troubling 6% decline at the Network Infrastructure division offset this boost. With stark contrasts across regions, North American sales notably dropped by 42% as 5G deployments slowed, while energetic 5G deployments in India couldn’t adequately balance the losses. Mirroring these figures, Ericsson too reported a 9% year over year decrease in Q2 revenue. A gloomy yet realistic outlook from Nokia’s CEO Pekka Lundmark, coupled with analyst firm Dell’Oro’s forecast on the shrinking RAN predictions, suggests telecommunications could be in for a turbulent few years.

Telefonica teams up with Nokia in a bold move to investigate the application of private mobile networks within Latin American businesses.

Meanwhile, Nokia’s data reveals that a whopping 80% of companies implementing their industrial-grade private wireless solutions expect a positive return on investment within six months.
