Nokia launched its new camera, the Nokia 360 Camera, on Tuesday globally for industrial applications. The company has added improved features, such as multimedia streaming in up to 8K resolution, spatial audio support, low-latency connection, and 5G capability.
It is rated IP67 against dust and water ingress and its top-of-the-line model can withstand harsh environmental conditions, including extreme temperatures.
Nokia 360 Camera specifications
The company has offered the Nokia 360 Camera in two variants — a basic Wi-Fi-only model and an Extreme Temperature variant. The former is introduced as a cost-effective monitoring solution, while the latter enables product deployment even in extreme conditions.
A Finland-based tech giant confirmed that the Nokia 360 Camera can deliver 360-degree multimedia streaming in up to 8K resolution demanding environments. Moreover, it comes with support for low-latency connection over 5G, Wi-Fi and Ethernet, and spatial audio.
Nokia General Manager of Real-time eXtended Reality Multimedia (RXRM) stated: “Adding a 5G-enabled industrial camera product to RXRM now offers a complete solution for real-time remote use cases such as situational awareness, remote monitoring, teleoperation and stadium scale sports and entertainment events.”
The Nokia 360 Camera houses cyber-secure software and built-in security hardware — both developed for harsh industrial conditions. It can transmit video and audio over private and public wireless networks for use cases such as situational awareness, remote monitoring, remote inspection or teleoperation of industrial equipment.
Customers can easily take benefit of APIs for customer artificial intelligence (AI) platforms provided by Nokia RXRM to deploy analytics and overlays on top of the live video feed.
The company claimed the Nokia 360 Camera has already been deployed in Pyhäsalmi Mine — Europe's deepest base metal mine which has been repurposed for research and development, remote operations, and training for the mining industry by the Finnish company Callio Pyhäjärvi.
It is important to note that the Nokia 360 Camera is developed for industrial purposes and is available to B2B customers only.
