Address any need with a complete solution

The Nokia converged private LTE and IP/MPLS solution includes a radio access network, IP/MPLS, microwave radio and optical backhaul, a core optimized for mission-critical networks, and management solution along with ruggedized, industrial-grade user equipment and IP/MPLS routers to connect workers and grid devices. Edge compute capabilities can be added for delivering critical low-latency connectivity and high bandwidth required by emerging use cases. Professional services supplement your staff’s skills during planning, design, deployment and ongoing operations.

The result is a customized end-to-end solution that is matched with the appropriate spectrum to address your exact requirements.

Get the right mix of private and public networks 

A private LTE/4.9G network provides the pervasive connectivity you need to support critical applications within your field area networks and sites. If you need a redundant wireless path, you can combine your private network with shared public network slices. Public networks might initially be utilized to accelerate service availability while a private network is constructed. Our solution interacts seamlessly with public LTE networks, which makes it easy to get the right network mix for your business.

Extend connectivity

If required, you can extend connectivity nationwide or around the globe using mobile operators’ networks or the Nokia WING offering.

Nokia AirScale radio access provides efficient and scalable mobile network coverage and capacity for 4G and 5G with common single hardware, software, management and services. Powered by the Nokia unique ReefShark System on Chip (SoC) technology, it provides the performance and capacity, while ensuring compact form factors to address the range of power utility use cases.

An integrated mix of IP/MPLS and microwave radio and optical transport embedded with cyber security and high availability mechanisms assure the upmost reliability for mission-critical traffic with an optimized solution.  End-to-end network orchestration, automation and optimization, enhance flexibility while simplifying operations.

Our Enterprise packet core is optimized for mission-critical networks. This 4G/5G core includes a highly optimized footprint and operational requirements, along with streamlined deployment and support. Start today with 4.9G/LTE core that supports a clear path to 5G.

Our private wireless solution includes a simple interface that makes it easy to operate and manage your end-to-end system. The interface also provides access to advanced configuration settings that let you fine-tune the performance of your network to meet the requirements of your applications.

Unlock the power of private 4G/5G networks with ruggedized Nokia Industrial user equipment that includes compact handhelds, workpads, field routers, dongles, hotspots, a 5G video camera and accessories. Integrated device management supports seamless onboarding and operation.

You can expand the capabilities with Nokia or third-party applications. For example, you can reduce your reliance on LMR/PMR networks by using our Group Communications solutions to support critical PTT or PTV services on a 4.9G/LTE network. Additionally, Nokia’s solution supports a wide variety of industrial applications with the integration of Nokia’s MX Industrial Edge (MXIE) on premise edge cloud platform, Nokia Industrial Application Catalog contains click-to-deploy industrial applications to accelerate OT digitalization.
