Nokia publishes an overview of its multimedia R&D and standardization work, highlighting contributions to next-generation video coding (including VVC), learned/hybrid compression techniques, and tools for error-resilient streaming under packet loss and congestion. The page also covers immersive media technologies such as MPEG-related volumetric/point-cloud coding, OMAF for immersive/360 video distribution, and 3GPP Release 18 Immersive Voice and Audio Services (IVAS) codecs and formats for low-delay spatial audio.
This is a reminder that “AI video” isn’t just generative—it’s increasingly about compression, resilience, and standards leverage. For streamers and platform engineers, Nokia’s mix of VVC maturity plus learned/hybrid tools points to a near-term reality: shipping better QoE will come from codec stacks that blend classical and neural components while staying interoperable. For strategists and investors, the subtext is licensing and control—standards bodies (MPEG/3GPP) remain the infrastructure layer where future margins (and patent leverage) are negotiated. The meme: the next streaming wars are fought in the bitstream.
