Nokia Bell Labs, Nokia's R&D arm, sees the enterprise segment of the metaverse growing much more quickly than the consumer segment.
The manufacturing, energy, logistics, construction, and transportation sectors can benefit the most from implementing metaverse technologies, according to Thierry E. Klein, president of Bell Labs solutions research at Nokia Bell Labs.
- According to ABI Research,
a global technology intelligence firm, the opportunity presented by the
industrial metaverse is more significant than the enterprise and
consumer markets.
- 2027 XR and metaverse mobile network traffic will supersede the smartphone videos, Nokia Bell Labs research shows.
- A new Nokia Bell Labs white paper explains the technologies Nokia is researching to reduce energy consumption as network conditions change.
- Nokia Bell Labs focuses on various eco-friendly solutions to reduce environmental impact.
- Klein believes
that "to be successful, the metaverse must be built on a foundation of
openness, interoperability, safety and security, ecological
sustainability, and inclusivity, allowing access to as many people as possible."
- At this year's World Economic Forum (WEF), Nokia's global chief strategy and technology officer Nishant Batra said that the metaverse would have the most significant immediate impact on industries rather than the consumer market.
