Nokia said it has delivered in partnership with China Mobile Group Shanghai and China Mobile Communication Research Institute an immersive ultra-low latency, high-capacity and flawless mobile video experience to the spectators at a major motor race in Shanghai.

They used Nokia technology, which combines Mobile Edge Computing with a ultra-dense heterogeneous network (HetNet) infrastructure.

Nokia deployed its zone applications using a Mobile Edge Computing-enabled LTE network. China Mobile used Nokia's leading Flexi Zone small cells and cloud-based AirScale Wi-Fi to deliver the speeds and latency required to meet all subscribers' demands with superior quality.

Using Edge Video Orchestration over the Mobile Edge Computing platforms, spectators could access a selection of live video feeds on their mobile devices with close to zero latency.

Video feeds from different angles of the race — including from a driver's cockpit — gave spectators the unique opportunity to tailor their view and become immersed in the race in real-time.

“Today's connected consumer expects high-quality mobile data service everywhere, not least in a very densely packed stadium,” said Mark Atkinson, head of small cells and Wi-Fi business line at Nokia.

“It is testament to our local services expertise and the strength of Nokia's leading technology that we could exceed the expectations we set during last year's event, combining an ultra-dense small cell network with Mobile Edge Computing to transform the digital experience for thousands of spectators,” said Atkinson.
