MWC Barcelona 2024
For the tens of thousands of people from the mobile, technology and connectivity sectors descending on Barcelona this week for Mobile World Congress, much will feel familiar.
I always relish the opportunity to meet with customers, partners and peers; learn more about new tech trends; and hear from the leading voices in our industry about how we can work together to address common challenges.
But every #MWC is also different. There’s always a hot topic, or a pressing concern, that crops up repeatedly in conversations and is the main takeaway at the end of the event.
诺基亚 will have a clear and consistent message to all our customers and partners at MWC Barcelona 2024 on how we’re leading the changes we want to see in our industry.
Improving 5G monetization for our customers is a top priority for Nokia
Networks need to continue evolving if the #AI and #cloud revolutions are to continue.
The equation is simple: applications need AI -> AI needs computing power -> cloud provides the power -> Edge Cloud brings that power closer = everything is enabled by networks.
As more computing moves to the cloud, and more businesses need that computing on, or close, to their premises for AI-powered automation solutions, the opportunities for telcos to create new revenue streams and to address enterprise needs, in addition to their traditional consumer base, increase dramatically. To help enable this we’re broadening the ecosystem to include hardware and software vendors, webscalers, systems integrators and developers to create a collaborative advantage.
Our partnership with Dell Technologies is a good example. We are using each other’s expertise and industry-leading solutions, including infrastructure solutions from Dell and private wireless connectivity from Nokia, to open up network architectures in the telecom ecosystem (and to advance private 5G use cases among businesses). Our collaboration is helping both companies become more flexible and better able to address future customer needs as demands increase on networks and Communication Service Providers (CSPs) require solutions to help scale modern networks to the cloud.
We’re also creating a collaborative advantage with A1 Telekom Austria AG and 微软 . Together, we recently deployed the industry’s first #5G Edge Cloud network-slicing solution for enterprises. It’s a win-win for enterprises and network operators, enabling a range of new industrial use cases and unlocking new 5G revenue streams.
At MWC today, our Mobile Networks business group launched #anyRAN for Enterprise to accelerate the adoption of 5G in the enterprise sector. Both mobile operators and enterprises will benefit from the faster deployment of #Cloud RAN solutions. This will also provide access to new segments and markets, driving value creation.
Programmable networks are another way to open up networks to more people and unlock new revenue streams. Our Cloud and Network Services business group has already secured 10 agreements for Nokia’s Network as Code platform and developer portal. For instance, Liberty Global has chosen the platform to enhance operational efficiency at the Port of Antwerp.
5G monetization is also about utilizing unused capacity in our customers’ networks to maximize their returns. 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) can bring broadband speeds to remote and underserved communities where fiber isn’t available. Dell’Oro Group estimates that the FWA market will be worth $40 billion by 2027. To help our customers capture a bigger slice of that market, our Network Infrastructure business group this week launched a new FastMile 5G mmWave Receiver, which will be a game-changer for FWA services.
It’s time to put AI to work: Generative AI solutions can boost productivity, efficiency, safety and security
Nokia has already put AI to work for network optimization and energy efficiency. Now our NetGuard Cybersecurity Dome will feature a #GenAI assistant to help customers quickly detect and eliminate cyber threats. This innovation will give CSPs and enterprises the ability to respond to increasingly sophisticated AI-powered attacks on critical infrastructure.
We are collaborating with 英伟达 to evolve mobile networks through Cloud RAN and AI solutions, paving the way for AI-RAN and further validating Nokia’s anyRAN approach.
We are also pioneering AI tech solutions for the industrial sector. MX Workmate is the first Operational Technology–compliant GenAI solution for connected workers. It enables people to understand complex machines and get real-time status information, and helps industries achieve greater flexibility, productivity, sustainability and safety.
Net zero is a business priority and a technology priority
Today we’ve set a new target to reach #net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040. We’re bringing forward our previous target by 10 years. We’re also doubling down on our existing 2030 target by accelerating the decarbonization of our own operations.

Building a path to net zero is a guiding principle for how we create our technology and for how we conduct our business. It’s founded on Nokia’s strategy to turn our #ESG strengths into a competitive advantage for our business. We want to help speed up the sustainability journey for ourselves and our customers through continuing to innovate for increased energy efficiency across our product portfolio, transitioning to low-carbon electricity and improving energy and material efficiency.
A good example is our partnership with 英特尔 to increase 5G network energy savings through software innovations and new chips, which will be on show at MWC. We’ll also be showcasing our new Virtual Power Plant (VPP) controller software, which enables mobile operators to switch seamlessly from grid power to back-up batteries, helping lower usage and costs, as well as reduce carbon emissions.
Nokia at MWC 2024
The examples mentioned above are just a small snapshot of the exciting products and solutions our three networks businesses will be demonstrating at this year’s event.
Nokia is pioneering networks that sense, think and act by leveraging our work across mobile, fixed and cloud networks.
Please come and see for yourself at MWC Barcelona 2024.
