Nokia’s new Ultra Compact Network is quite an attractive product
The Ultra Compact Network from Nokia can be of great help to governments and mission-critical agencies. This is because it allows them to set up high bandwidth communications which can be done in remote areas in order to make sure their operations run smoothly. It will be a vital tool for command center teams and first responders to save time and lives through streamlined operations as well as enhanced situational awareness.
“With the Ultra Compact Network we have placed considerable focus on what the end-user needs,” stated Thorsten Robrecht, the head of Nokia’s Advanced Mobile Solutions business unit.
Nokia plans to offer different variants of the network model, including equipment that can be carried in a backpack and a different variant that can be mounted on a vehicle. It has additionally simplified the technology so that it will be possible for the Ultra Compact Network to be set up in just a few minutes.
Nokia also announced that it launched an integrated Operations Center designed to aggregate data streams used by emergency services. The center will be of great use to communications agencies because it will allow them to transform operations at the command center. The center will make it possible for emergency services to compile information from a variety of sources including social media, and video.
