Nokia and Altran introduce joint solution to streamline train maintenance for railways

  • Solution couples Nokia's strengths in Internet of Things (IoT), networking and analytics with Altran's expertise in applications, analytics and integration for railway operations
     
  • Jointly developed predictive maintenance applications support rolling stock from all manufacturers, optimizing operations and reducing costs

Espoo, Finland - Nokia and Altran, a global leader in Engineering and R&D services (ER&D), are launching a jointly developed solution to optimize and streamline the maintenance of rolling stock for railway operators. This solution combines Nokia's strengths in Internet of Things (IoT), networking and analytics with Altran's strength in application development, analytics and system integration for railway operations.

Maintenance represents the biggest single operational cost for railway operators, constituting roughly 50 percent of their total operational expense. The maintenance applications railway operators have historically relied on are designed to support rolling stock only from individual manufacturers, making maintenance of their assets cumbersome and costly. The joint solution from Altran and Nokia is designed to provide predictive maintenance support for rolling stock from all manufacturers, dramatically reducing maintenance overhead for railway operators.

The solution incorporates smart sensors to monitor and gather data on the condition and performance of rolling stock, the wireless network and IoT connections to aggregate and transmit data. It's a scalable, adaptive IoT platform to manage the wide variety of sensors and other devices required, and an advanced analytics engine to interpret data and recommend preventative maintenance measures. Together, these capabilities can deliver up to a 30-percent improvement in train reliability, a 20-percent reduction in delays and cancellations and a 10-percent reduction in maintenance man-hours.

This agreement builds on Nokia's strong track-record providing mission-critical networks to railway operators. It also highlights the progress of Nokia's strategy of expanding its customer base outside of the traditional telecommunications sphere, a key focus of the company's diversification efforts.

Jochen Apel, global transportation segment leader at Nokia, said: "Unexpected failures in rolling stock have a huge impact on the operational performance of rail operators. The traditional way of overcoming this is to perform heavy preventative maintenance. The revolutionary approach the Nokia and Altran are taking can greatly reduce this effort and deliver significant cost savings to railway operators."

Mike Greenan, Rail & Transport Global Industry Director at Altran, said: "Predictive maintenance is an opportunity for new and for legacy trains. The combination of Nokia and Altran can help introduce and take advantage of modern technologies to increase the operational performance of the train."

Nuage Networks unveils SD-WAN 2.0, the industry's only automated and secure services platform for the delivery of enterprise IT services across any network and cloud


Press Release 

 

  • Only unified platform in the industry to offer connectivity, visibility and control at scale from a "single pane of glass" across the entire network including data centers, public clouds and branches
  • First to offer true end-to-end, network-wide security from within the branch to workloads inside datacenters, public cloud & SaaS
  • Uniquely provides a flexible and open virtual networking fabric that enhances enterprise business applications and supports a wide range of value added services
  • IDC forecasts sales of SD-WAN technologies to reach $4.5 bln in 2022

 

 

19 September 2018

 

Espoo, Finland - Nokia is introducing the latest release of the Nuage Networks Virtualized Network Services (VNS) platform, offering the most powerful and secure end-to-end network governance across a multi-cloud environment, with complete visibility and control from a single management interface. Nuage Networks VNS is the industry's first and only SD-WAN 2.0 offering that is more than a network connectivity platform, providing a services architecture to deliver and orchestrate enterprise IT services across data centers, public cloud services, SaaS provider clouds and enterprise branch sites.

 

Enterprise IT departments have embraced the concept of SD-WAN, with leading telecommunications research firm IDC forecasting the worldwide market for SD-WAN infrastructure will record a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 40.4% from 833 million in 2017 to more than 4.5 billion in 2022. IDC expects the market will expand by about 58% in 2018 to be worth more than $1.3 billion.[1]

 

First-generation SD-WAN solutions have been limited in scope to automating and managing connectivity of branch offices, which are underserved by IP-VPN services. However, as more enterprises migrate their business applications to the cloud, they must provide seamless WAN connectivity. This includes connectivity not only between customer premises equipment at branch and regional sites, but also to their private data centers, SaaS providers and public clouds - all within a unified security and governance model. Moreover, there is demand from enterprise customers to leverage this services platform to deploy and manage Value Added Services including VoIP, Next-Generation Firewall, IoT, and WiFi Access.

 

Nuage Networks VNS is the only SD-WAN 2.0 offer in the industry that is purpose-built to solve these new enterprise IT challenges with a seamless, automated and unified next generation solution. Nuage Networks SD-WAN 2.0 opens up a new dynamic in networking by providing services with flexible multi-cloud capabilities, the industry's most robust, built-in end-to-end security and a versatile architecture to deliver value-added services anywhere. These capabilities provide an immediate reduction in operational expenses and cost, superior agility, operational consistency across a multi-cloud environment and the ability to offer a diverse set of applications and services that can be consumed at the branch and/or the cloud. Longer term, the platform enables enterprises to future-proof their networks, addressing not only today's IT challenges, but also quickly adapting to their future needs.

 

Nuage Networks is continuing its strong push in the next generation SD-WAN market with recent contracts with service providers and enterprises from around the world including Banco Multiva, Cogeco Peer1, Credit Andorra, Etisalat, Equal, Globe Telecom, NTT Com India, Orange X, Telefonica, UPMC, and Vertel, in addition to over 50 service providers world-wide that have selected Nuage Networks VNS for their managed SD-WAN offering. With over 400 enterprise customers, Nuage Networks VNS is increasingly the choice of global carriers and enterprises looking to automate, secure and optimize their IT processes as well as their WAN, datacenter and public cloud networks.

 

Patrick Farges, sales & marketing leader at Orange X, said: "The flexibility and high-level of automation provided to us by this SD-WAN 2.0 platform from Nuage Networks has unlocked new business opportunities and enabled us to rapidly launch new and highly differentiated network and security services. Working closely with Nuage Networks has helped us to adapt this advanced platform for the SME market."

 

Michel Bouffier, CIO at Banco Multiva (Grupo Financiero Multiva), said: "Along with end-to-end governance and security for our customers, we welcome the versatility of this SD-WAN 2.0 platform which allows us to not only support a hybrid environment in our datacenters, but also extends to our nationwide branch network. This provides us with crucial end-to-end policy-based network automation and security, giving us full visibility on the connectivity conditions of our branches in order to procure an outstanding customer service."

 

Cliff Grossner, Ph.D., senior research director and advisor, cloud and data center research practice of IHS Markit, a global business information provider, said: "The adoption of SD-WAN by enterprise grows rapidly, driven by the desire to connect branch locations and on-premises data centers with workloads placed in cloud service provider data centers and SaaS services. Effectively, enterprises are creating a Multi-cloud ecosystem.  Ensuring a high-quality user experience with applications distributed across the multi-cloud makes secure, high-performance adaptive connectivity an imperative. For 2017, the revenue to cloud service providers was over $160 billion, with revenue over $375 billion forecast for 2022. 2017 revenue for SD-WAN vendors was $475 million, and is expected to hit 3.6 billion in 2022, signaling a strong need for secure multi-cloud connectivity. Nuage Networks SD-WAN 2.0 focus on providing a secure virtual networking fabric for the multi-cloud answers an important market requirement."

 

Brad Casemore, Research VP, IDC, said: "Network challenges are coming to the fore as organizations worldwide embrace multi-cloud as a means of achieving digital-transformation objectives. Indeed, IDC finds that enterprises are thinking more comprehensively and holistically about how their networks will support the full spectrum of multi-cloud - from on-premises datacenters to IaaS and Saas public clouds and out to the branch offices and remote locations that constitute the intelligent edge. With its latest release of the Virtualized Services Platform (VSP) and its vision for SD-WAN 2.0, Nuage Networks addresses the need for secure networking across the multi-cloud landscape."

 

Sunil Khandekar, founder and CEO of Nuage Networks, said: "The industry is on the cusp of a big shift towards SD-WAN. Today, Nuage solidifies its SD-WAN 2.0 leadership, adding key features to improve the security and manageability of VNS, and further reinforces our founding vision to connect enterprise users to their applications without boundaries. Unlike other vendors that either have basic connectivity solutions, use proprietary hardware or need to cobble together multiple platforms to address enterprise IT needs, we purposefully developed our VNS offer on a single platform to give our customers a powerful, seamless and consistent set of capabilities across the entire network. By offering IT services over SD-WAN and combining them with Nuage's core strengths in large scale networking and operational capabilities, Nuage Networks VNS establishes itself as the industry's first and foremost SD-WAN 2.0 platform."

The Nokia and France Télévisions demonstration showed the ability of 5G to offer a speed equivalent to fiber, with unmatched quality of service to support the future broadcast of 8K content on any compatible device, including 8K televisions.

 

At IBC 2018, Nokia and France Télévisions will present the tests and discuss the findings. Nokia will also demonstrate the new service opportunities that 5G will open up for the media industry beyond pure connectivity. As an example, the company will show how 5G will allow TV editorial staff to offer flexible and ultra high-quality live television transmission to field reporters without the need for costly broadcasting trucks.

 

Bernard Fontaine, Head of Technical Innovations at France Télévisions said, "The growth in the use of digital devices and the incredible quality increase of equipment are contributing to the increased consumption of our media content. This evolution will require a rethinking of the value chain of actors and technologies that contribute to the future needs of wireless transmission modes. Whether usage targets fixed TV or mobile devices, 5G will be part of the process of convergence and transformation of future technical, regulatory and economic models to ensure a very high level of quality in TV services, including public service ones, over the long term. Our demo with Nokia clearly shows that we are ready for the changes that will sweep our industry with the advent of 5G in the next decade."

Marc Rouanne, president of Mobile Networks at Nokia, said, "5G is coming faster than anyone anticipated and we are ready for it. 5G will create new opportunities beyond pure connectivity. Nokia is delivering an end-to-end 5G Future X solution that will provide the flexibility, capacity, speeds and latency for TV broadcasters and telecom operators to support ultra high quality live reporting and 8K high definition content delivered to consumers' mobile devices and televisions."

 

Taking place between September 13-18, 2018 in Amsterdam, IBC2018 is the world's most influential media, entertainment and technology show. This year's event includes 1,700 exhibitors and 400+ speakers who will address an audience strength of close to 60,000 delegates. The Nokia booth will be in Hall 15 at IBC 2018.

Nokia Oyj:n osakkeiden merkinnät optio-oikeuksilla ja uusien osakkeiden rekisteröinti

 

Nokia Oyj:n vuoden 2011 optio-ohjelman optio-oikeuksilla on 28.7.-3.9.2018 välisenä aikana merkitty 17 500 kappaletta Nokian osakkeita. Merkintähinta oli 1,82 euroa osakkeelta. Osakemerkinnöistä saatu merkintähinta, yhteensä 31 850,00 euroa kirjataan kokonaisuudessaan sijoitetun vapaan oman pääoman rahastoon eikä yhtiön osakepääomaa merkintöjen seurauksena koroteta. 

 

Lisäksi 6.9.2018 julkistetun mukaisesti 4 014 000 yhtiölle annettua uutta osaketta on merkitty kaupparekisteriin. Osakkeet annettiin vastikkeetta.

 

Uudet osakkeet tuottavat kaikki osakkeenomistajan oikeudet rekisteröintipäivästä 7.9.2018 lukien. Osakkeet otetaan kaupankäynnin kohteeksi muiden Nokian osakkeiden (NOKIA) kanssa Nasdaq Helsingissä arviolta 10.9.2018 ja Euronext Pariisissa arviolta 11.9.2018. Euronext Pariisi julkistaa erillisen tiedotteen, kun se on hyväksynyt uusien osakkeiden ottamisen kaupankäynnin kohteeksi Euronext Pariisissa.

 

Nokian osakkeiden kokonaismäärä on rekisteröinnin jälkeen 5 635 550 659 kappaletta ja Nokia Oyj:n hallussa olevien omien osakkeiden lukumäärä yhtiölle tehdyn annin jälkeen on 36 458 664 osaketta.
