Beijing time on February 24 morning brought news that Nokia has launched a new set of services aimed at supporting the "smart city" economy and environmental sustainability. Leveraging technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), data analytics, and blockchain, the company is helping cities become more efficient and eco-friendly.
In the rapidly expanding IoT landscape, billions of connected devices and sensors are generating massive volumes of data. For smart cities to thrive, they need to quickly retrieve, process, interpret, and act upon real-time environmental data in order to maintain a sustainable living environment for their citizens. To make the IoT ecosystem more effective, it's essential to create new opportunities for data monetization, enabling sensor network operators to provide timely analysis and insights to city management systems.
“Asad Rizvi, head of global services business development at Nokia, stated, “Cities must be digital to effectively serve their residents. To ensure the efficient use of urban assets and data, a shared, secure, and large-scale intelligent infrastructure is needed. We can help in this regard. In addition, we offer services for city operations, transportation, tourism, and public safety, providing solutions that allow operators to generate new revenue from existing networks.â€
Nokia’s Environmental Awareness Service (S2aaS) offers intelligent analysis by collecting environmental data from IoT-connected sensors, which operators can then sell to cities and other governmental departments. According to Nokia’s vision, real-time IoT-based monitoring systems can provide critical environmental insights for smart city management. For instance, S2aaS can detect unusual environmental behaviors like illegal construction, unauthorized waste burning, or unidentified airborne particles.

According to IDG research firm NetworkWorld, the idea behind these products is to enable mobile network operators (MNOs) to utilize their existing infrastructure—such as water towers and Nokia site equipment—to sell sensor data about living environments to cities and other sectors.
Nokia’s S2aaS is powered by a blockchain platform with built-in micropayment capabilities, supporting smart contracts. This allows for anonymous, private, and secure microtransactions, enabling operators to monetize analytical data and create new revenue streams.
Operators have the flexibility to choose between a traditional capital expenditure (CapEx) model or a revenue-sharing service model. Nokia will work closely with its customers to determine the most suitable business model based on specific use cases.
The company will handle all hardware installations, configure new environmental sensors, and set up edge gateway devices at existing network sites. S2aaS includes a full platform for collecting and processing sensor data, hosted on Microsoft Azure, AWS, or Nokia Private Cloud. It also supports integration with Amazon IoT, Microsoft IoT, or Nokia’s own AVA Cognitive Services Platform. As the company explains, AVA "combines cloud-based delivery, intelligent analytics, and extreme automation to deliver personalized, real-time services."
Drop Out Fuse Cutout is a kind of outdoor high voltage protection device, lt is connected with the incoming feeder of thedistribution transformer or distribution lines and primarily used to protect transformers or lines against the impact raised by shortcircuit, overload and switching current. The drop-out fuse cutout is composed of insulator support and a fuse carier, staticcontacts that are fxed on two sides of insulator support and moving contact installed on two ends of fuse carrier, The interior ofthe fuse carrier is the extinguishing tube while the exterior is made of phenolic compound paper tube or epoxy glass.
