Bridging the Gap Between Innovation and Industrial Needs
In industries where precision, durability, and real-time visibility are non-negotiable, technology must keep pace with demanding environments. Nokia has recognized this need and unveiled the world’s first 5G 360° camera, a breakthrough that redefines how businesses approach surveillance, remote operations, and immersive experiences. Engineered to withstand extreme conditions while delivering unparalleled video and audio quality, this device is set to change the game for industries requiring robust, high-performance monitoring solutions.
Great ideas often outpace existing technology. That was precisely the challenge that led Nokia to develop the 5G 360° camera, designed to fill a void in industrial and commercial sectors where traditional cameras fail.
From the outset, Nokia aimed to create a solution to replace legacy camera systems, streamline operations, and provide a genuinely mobile, high-resolution surveillance tool. The goal? A compact yet powerful camera capable of capturing real-time, 360° video with seamless 5G connectivity while maintaining resilience in some of the harshest conditions.
Built for Performance, Engineered for Resilience
Its ability to deliver immersive, ultra-high-definition video in real-time sets the Nokia 5G 360° camera apart from conventional systems. Equipped with 8K streaming at 30 frames per second, the camera ensures exceptional image quality, while its spatial audio recording enhances situational awareness. However, transmitting full 360° video requires significant bandwidth – roughly 100 Mbps per second – which can strain network resources.
Nokia introduced its Real-time eXtended Reality Multimedia (RXRM) software to solve this challenge. This solution optimizes video streaming by filtering unnecessary data, reducing bandwidth usage by up to 90%. This ensures smooth, lag-free streaming while maintaining crystal-clear visual and audio fidelity.
Beyond performance, resilience was a top priority in the camera’s design. With an IP67 rating, it is waterproof, dustproof, and resistant to shock and vibration—allowing it to function in environments ranging from deep underground tunnels to wildfire response zones. Unlike traditional surveillance cameras that require extensive wiring and infrastructure, the Nokia 5G 360° camera is lightweight (2.3 kg) and compact, making it easy to install and reposition as needed.
Security and Simplicity at Its Core
Security is critical for businesses handling sensitive operations. Nokia designed the 5G 360° camera with built-in encryption, tamper-resistant software, and secure data transmission, eliminating the need for third-party services. Deployment is plug-and-play, meaning no complex network configurations—just a seamless, ready-to-use system straight out of the box.
A Smarter Alternative to Traditional Surveillance
Industrial and commercial surveillance has long relied on multi-camera setups, each covering a narrow field of view. The result? Increased costs, excessive cabling, and fragmented monitoring. The Nokia 5G 360° camera eliminates these inefficiencies by providing a full spherical view in one device, effectively replacing up to twelve traditional cameras.
With a 7680 x 3840 resolution and 360° coverage, the camera captures every angle with superior clarity – ensuring nothing goes unnoticed. By reducing the required cameras, businesses can cut costs, simplify infrastructure, and improve monitoring efficiency without compromising quality.
Expanding the Possibilities: Where the Nokia 5G 360° Camera Excels
This innovation isn’t just about replacing traditional cameras—it’s about unlocking new possibilities across multiple industries.
Industrial Automation and Remote Operations
The camera enables real-time monitoring and remote operations in manufacturing plants and shipping ports. Operators can virtually step into a worksite, control machinery, and oversee processes from anywhere, reducing on-site risks and travel costs.
Security and Public Safety
Situational awareness is critical for security teams and emergency responders. The Nokia 5G 360° camera offers a real-time view of high-risk environments, helping teams assess threats, monitor incidents, and respond proactively.
Entertainment and Virtual Experiences
Beyond industrial applications, this camera has exciting potential for live events, sports, and entertainment. With immersive 360° video streaming, fans can experience concerts, games, and live shows as if they were there, enhancing audience engagement like never before.
Drone and Mobile Surveillance
The camera’s lightweight design and 5G connectivity make it ideal for integrating drones, vehicles, and autonomous systems. It provides real-time situational awareness for military, law enforcement, and industrial inspections.
Seamless Connectivity for Any Environment
Whether deployed in a fixed position or mounted on a mobile platform, the Nokia 5G 360° camera offers multiple connectivity options:
- 5G wireless for real-time, on-the-go applications
- Wi-Fi for localized operations
- Power over Ethernet (PoE) for stable, wired connections
An Extreme-Temperature variant is available for extreme conditions, ensuring reliable performance in scorching heat and freezing temperatures.
A Glimpse into the Future of Industrial Surveillance
With the Nokia 5G 360° camera, businesses, security teams, and industrial operators can now access a cutting-edge solution that merges ultra-high-resolution video, spatial audio, and real-time connectivity in a rugged, compact device. By eliminating legacy camera inefficiencies, improving remote monitoring, and offering an easy-to-deploy system, this breakthrough technology is set to reshape industrial surveillance, automation, and immersive media.
As shipping begins in Q2 2025, the future of next-generation surveillance and remote presence is just around the corner. Whether enhancing safety, improving efficiency, or bringing immersive experiences to life, the Nokia 5G 360° camera is ready to redefine what’s possible in industrial and commercial applications.
