Nokia Bell Labs Wows at MWC2017

NBL Event stage at MWC 2017

Nokia stole the show at MWC 2017 with amazing demonstrations that hint at the next technologies, the most complete end-to-end portfolio in the industry, and a clear vision. RajeevSuri emphasized this vision in his keynote address on the Next Industrial Revolution, which you can see in the video. Don't miss the entertaining Bell Labs demo and the robotic selfie!

Bell Labs Future X Experience within the Nokia booth at MWC

Bell Labs researchers rolled out a truly unique experience at Mobile World Congress, creating an immersive “Future X Experience” illustrating the potential of the future -  a massively distributed, cognitive, continuously adaptive, learning and optimizing network connecting all humans, all senses, all things, all systems, all infrastructure, all processes, creating a virtual 6th sense to save time. The Bell Labs Future X Experience included 4 areas to convey our vision.

  • The future of networked interactions - Unifying all interactions with people, machines, systems, processes, content with human tracking, visual and haptic feedback, and group sharing.
  • The future of networked networks - Complete network automation: deploying, configuring, optimizing, scaling, and slicing, with ultra-low latency and security
  • The future of networked intelligence - Sensing the augmenting of all realities turning data, content, media, sensors into new knowledge
  • The future of autonomous systems – Driving a race car.  An exploration of latency and bandwidth enabling hypermobile machines, and having fun driving and watching live streaming 360 video from an Ozo camera.
