Nokia is working with the local industry players to provide fifth-generation (5G) technology solutions to their operations.
This was bared by Andrew Cope, Nokia head of market in Southeast Asia, who said they expect cementing agreements with “two to three firms in 2020.”
“The plan is to find an industry partner that understands and sees the potential of 5G in the industry space. (We want) to build not just a use case but a business case for 5G in the industry,” Cope told reporters in a news briefing.
He said Nokia is particularly looking at mining and port firms as partners. The business prefers companies dealing with “anything that requires personal and public safety.”
Cope, who also serves as Nokia Country Head in the Philippines, said he expects substantial improvement next year once they find the partners.

“Some will be rolled out next year. How big and how far I really cannot comment. It might be very small, it might be significant,” Cope said.
According to the Head of Sales Kai Sahala, Nokia looks to pilot the use of 5G solutions in their operations as it is a “giant leap in enabling solutions beyond connectivity.”
Although the Philippines is among the countries with a weak connectivity status, Cope said Nokia remains bullish on the country’s potential as a “gateway to the rest of the world.”
