Nokia announced that NS Solutions has deployed Nokia Digital Automation Cloud (DAC) and 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) technology as part of a Local 5G network for Nara Institute of Science and Technology (NAIST) at Nara prefecture in Japan.

The 5G private wireless network will allow NAIST to strengthen its research capabilities, enable high-definition live streaming of lectures and research videos and contribute to research on next-generation mobile communication systems.

The local 5G network will enable NAIST to collect data in real-time and use Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) to generate insights. Local 5G networks will allow high-definition live streaming to enable NAIST to provide a more immersive education experience.

It will also improve rainfall prediction accuracy by using 5G and GPS positioning functions.

“Nokia Digital Automation Cloud will allow NAIST to benefit from a local 5G network to better manage its data assets and provide a superior learning experience. In addition, our FastMile 5G Gateway allows NS Solutions to offer high-speed, reliable wireless connectivity for the local 5G network at NAIST,” Donny Janssens, Head of Customer Team Enterprise Japan, at Nokia, said.
