Nokia will provide The Ocean Cleanup, a global non-profit initiative working to create and expand technologies to rid the world’s seas of plastic, with private wireless connectivity, network edge devices, and analytics.
The first Nokia Digital Automation Cloud (DAC) private wireless solution for The Ocean Cleanup’s operations in the North Pacific has already been effectively implemented by Nokia and MCS, Nokia’s partner for Nokia DAC distribution in the Benelux (Belgium, Netherlands and Luxemburg).
Nokia DAC is an edge processing and high-performance, end-to-end private wireless networking device. For apps like high-end video connectivity over 4G technology, the Nokia connectivity, Nokia MX Industrial Edge (MXIE), and analytics will be used to guide The Ocean Cleanup’s activities while collecting plastic in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.
“Through our subsea optical fibre networks, innovations such as acoustic sensing technology, remote environmental monitoring, or private wireless, Nokia can – and will – continue to play an important role in the marine environment,” commented Subho Mukherjee, head of Sustainability at Nokia.
