After licensing its mobile phone business to HMD Global, Nokia not only continued to invest in network communications and 5G technology applications, but also continued to expand into different market sectors. For example, it previously launched the OZO camera that can shoot surround-view images, andAcquired Withings to develop health applicationsEarlier, it applied to the European Union Intellectual Property Office to register "OVNI", which is expected to be used for its drone products.
Nokia previously stated that drones will be part of its IoT development efforts, integrating 4G LTE with the upcoming 5G network technology for both civilian and military applications. The trademark "OVNI" is likely a French abbreviation for "unidentified flying object," and will be owned by Nokia Solutions and Networks.
Nokia announced its drone development plan at the end of June, emphasizing that it would primarily target industrial and military applications. The company will be able to connect multiple drones through its wireless network and cloud connectivity technology to enable autonomous flight, analytical exploration, and delivery. This will be useful for port logistics, public safety, and operations in inaccessible and dangerous areas. Nokia has also previously proposed using drones to deploy temporary network resources to assist with disaster relief efforts.
In previous statements, Nokia emphasized that in the future it will focus on trends including the surge in demand for network bandwidth, the booming development of IoT devices, the extensive application of artificial intelligence, new human-computer interaction models, changes in online social and financial models, and the increasing importance of digital content. This will no longer limit Nokia to being a provider of Internet application solutions, but will also provide a full range of software, hardware and platform services to create greater value.
