Nokia and Dell Technologies have taken a significant step in their strategic collaboration by expanding their alliance to combine their wireless private connectivity and infrastructure solutions. This initiative aims to drive open network architectures in the telecommunications ecosystem and in enterprise private 5G use cases.
According to a statement, this strategic agreement means that Dell will have Nokia as its preferred partner in the field of private wireless networks, especially for use cases at the enterprise edge. For its part, Nokia will provide seamless integration and support to companies, thus strengthening its position in the enterprise connectivity market.
On the other hand, Nokia will have Dell Technologies as its preferred infrastructure partner for Nokia AirFrame servers. This aspect of the agreement will facilitate the transition of Nokia customers to Dell PowerEdge servers, backed by Dell’s global services and support, which will provide a more complete and efficient experience for users.
In addition, the two companies will collaborate closely on platform and application testing, as well as lifecycle management in the ‘Dell Open Telecom Ecosystem Lab’. This lab will provide an environment conducive to innovation and the co-development of cutting-edge telecommunications solutions.
“Dell and Nokia plan to certify workloads on Dell’s telecom infrastructure blocks compatible with Nokia Cloud offerings, while continuing to collaborate on OEM commitments,” the companies added, underscoring their continued commitment to excellence and interoperability in the telecommunications market.
For both companies, this expansion of the strategic alliance represents an opportunity to strengthen their positions in the infrastructure and connectivity market, while offering joint customers greater integration, support, and efficiency in their technology solutions.
TikTok Launches App for Apple’s Vision Pro
TikTok surprised users today by announcing the launch of its app for Apple’s Vision Pro headset. The app, optimized for the visionOS spatial design style, promises a more immersive viewing experience for short-form video lovers.
“Experience your For You feed in a whole new way through this immersive content view,” TikTok said in a post on social media platform X.
The app features a familiar design on Vision Pro, with a main “For You” video, plus profiles, comments, search, and more. TikTok is now available in the Vision Pro App Store, giving users the opportunity to immerse themselves even more in their favorite content.
Despite this exciting news, there are still some major social media, streaming video, and music apps that are not available at all on Vision Pro, including Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Netflix, Spotify, and WhatsApp. However, developer Christian Selig has created an app called Juno to watch YouTube videos on Vision Pro, offering an alternative for those looking for more entertainment options.
Some users expressed their opinions on this news, highlighting a mix of reactions:
“If there was one app I didn’t care about, it had to be TikTok. What about some really relevant apps?”
“I was hoping for productive apps that weren’t addictive.”
“I’m not sure if I should applaud, but at least they’re releasing an app other than YouTube, Spotify, and Netflix.”
“No thanks, my brain is already rotten enough.”
“Cancer is now available in space computing, thanks.”
The inclusion of TikTok on Vision Pro is sure to generate debate among users about the balance between fun and productivity in technology use.
