Services

Sensor data is available for anyone to explore, free of charge.
big data computing servers for network data analytics purposes. Some of these servers are distributed within the network thus allowing multi-access edge computing (MEC) as well as caching services.
The NOKIA EPC has open application programming interfaces (virtualized EPC) that makes it possible to integrate new services to e.g., network management.
