We are looking for game-changing and impactful ideas that have the potential to change the way we operate, manage and maintain the resources in a communication network. Looking for creative / innovative solutions that reduces needed involvement of human interactions needed to ensure network health and networks ability to provide service availability at the best level. The solutions should be able to prevent and predict potential issues in the network before they are causing any major user impacts based on extreme automation, analytics and DevOps philosophy in a multivendor environment.

The areas of interest are:

  • Solutions ensuring service quality, e.g. full availability of network services and consisting end user experience in mobile and fixed networks
  • Solutions providing remote /on-site experts with up-to date tools and dynamic information availability based on actual conditions in the network based on technologies like AR/VR together with professional analytic capabilities.
  • Solutions enabling trusted and fast deployment of SW changes to live multivendor environments without any service breaks, combining analytics, cloudified networks, DevOps approaches and for instance blockchain technologies to ensure a secure e2e change process with zero tolerance for failure.

Nokia vision is to expand the human possibilities of technology to improve people’s lives in an fast changing environment where network services and resource availability is critical.
