Powering the industrial metaverse

The industrial metaverse is coming, bringing with it endless possibilities for the future of both industry and society. 

Using virtual and augmented realities to blend the physical and the digital, the metaverse empowers industries to cut costs, act more sustainably, improve the work experience and accelerate operations by moving expensive, time-consuming activities into fully virtual environments. Within these spaces, enterprises and public sector agencies can test and optimize their systems, processes and infrastructure to identify and address issues before committing time and resources to the real thing.

Digital twins are one of the most promising applications of the early industrial metaverse. These virtual replicas of physical objects (for example, a jet engine, car or wind turbine) are already helping private and public organizations plan faster, improve processes, optimize operations and much more.

As the industrial metaverse starts to take hold, its scale and complexity will increase exponentially. Enterprises and public sector agencies will be able to:

• Create digital twins of entire environments, such as power grids, rail yards or even whole cities
• Use rich, real-time data to gain unparalleled operational insights
• Not just experience the physical world in a virtual space, but actually control it

To stay competitive and innovative, your operations need a foundation that can support the evolution of industrial metaverse applications now and into the future. Nokia offers the critical networks and high-performance connectivity required to take advantage of the industrial metaverse. 

Immersive live streaming is a crucial tool of the industrial metaverse that enhances visibility and insight into operational performance. A tangible example of this is Real-time eXtended Reality Multimedia (RXRM), which is helping enterprises and organizations realize the full potential available. By utilizing low-latency and bandwidth-efficient connectivity, RXRM opens up 360° video and 3D spatial audio to industrial applications. It brings unprecedented immersion and user experience to a whole range of new use cases, including remote monitoring, remote control of machines and devices, and optimized situational awareness. 

The network technologies needed to set the stage for the industrial metaverse are available now. Featuring secure and high-performance networks, industrial edge computing and a flexible data-center fabric, Nokia’s critical network solutions are the foundation you need to realize the full benefits of the industrial metaverse today and into the future.
