Nokia has announced a partnership with Swedish telecommunications operator Tele2 to provide private wireless to enterprises in Sweden.
The collaboration will enable enterprises to utilise 5G private wireless to connect assets to gain valuable operational data to achieve their cost, efficiency, and sustainability goals.
Nokia said that the partnership will allow the Swedish telecommunications operator to provide its users with private wireless 5G by leveraging a solution based on the Nokia Digital Automation Cloud (DAC).
DAC is designed to be a high-performance, end-to-end private wireless networking and edge computing platform. It is developed to address the mission-critical requirements of asset-intensive industries, cities, governments, and webscale businesses.
Tele2 B2B EVP Stefan Trampus said: “There is a growing demand for tailored private wireless solutions among our enterprise customers.
‘Offering the solution will allow customers to speed deployment and implement new capabilities as their needs evolve. Together with Nokia, we can address enterprise digitalisation needs, and expand into new business segments.”
According to Nokia, businesses can benefit from real-time on-site data processing and secure, reliable, low latency asset connectivity.
Enterprises can adopt Industry 4.0 business-critical use cases like remote monitoring, autonomous vehicles and robotics, predictive maintenance, and zero fault manufacturing by using the data in conjunction with analytics, machine learning (ML), and artificial intelligence (AI), said Nokia.
Nokia cloud and network services president Raghav Sahgal said: “We have extensive expertise with 560 large private wireless customers across an array of sectors worldwide. We believe there is significant business potential for private wireless in Sweden.
“While to date, most of the enterprises who have already deployed private wireless in the country are in the manufacturing segment, there are compelling opportunities for other industries including mining, power plants, construction, agriculture, healthcare and public services, to transform operations using the technology.
“We are pleased to work with Tele2 as part of their network offer and demonstrate the use cases that will allow enterprises in Sweden to transform their operations for the Industry 4.0 era.”
Earlier this week, Kyndryl partnered with Nokia to develop and deliver long-term evolution (LTE) and 5G private wireless connectivity services and Industry 4.0 solutions to customers around the world.
