Nokia said in a statement that this collaboration is in-line with its enhanced Environmental<\/a>, Social and Governance (ESG)<\/a> strategy, as well as a broader commitment to use technology in combatting climate change and minimising environmental impacts.
Nokia cited UNESCO<\/a>, according to which, plastic waste makes up 80% of all marine pollution and around 8 to 10 million metric tons of plastic end up in the ocean each year.
Nokia and MCS, Nokia’s partner for Nokia Digital Automation Cloud<\/a> (DAC) distribution in the Benelux, have already successfully deployed the first Nokia DAC private wireless solution for The Ocean Cleanup’s operations in the North Pacific, and will deploy further systems at a later stage.
The Nokia connectivity, Nokia MX Industrial Edge<\/a> (MXIE) and analytics will be used for applications such as video connectivity over 4G technology, to help navigate The Ocean Cleanup’s operations while harvesting plastic in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.
Nokia claimed that 5G<\/a>, private wireless, edge compute, sensors, AI-based analytics, drones and other technologies will play an increasingly critical role in supporting the conservation and sustainability of the natural environment by providing immediate up-to-date and constant information on the status of the environment, whether on land or in the sea.
“We are proud to support and collaborate with The Ocean Cleanup, and look forward to see how our technology can genuinely drive sustainable change and help protect critical natural resources and habitats,” said Subho Mukherjee, Head of Sustainability at Nokia.
“Our Nokia DAC private wireless network and Nokia MXIE edge computing system will ensure reliable, cost-effective voice and data communication between the two ships involved in the clean-up operation. With secure coverage on open sea also enabling video and analytics, this solution improves worker safety and provides high visibility and scouting of target clean-up areas,” said Stephan Litjens, Vice President of Enterprise Campus Edge Solutions at Nokia.
