Nokia is extending its enterprise wireless networking portfolio with new small cells, Wi-Fi, multi-access edge computing and cloud packet core capabilities.
The new components aim to allow businesses to manage and operate their own private wireless networks to support their digital transformation initiatives.
The company’s new virtualized multi-access edge computing (MEC) solution will allow operators to deliver private LTE networks to enterprises over their 4G network, and to allow enterprises to run MEC over commercial-off-the-shelf servers.
Nokia has also introduced a new compact outdoor AirScale Wi-Fi access point and added a hybrid access gateway capability to the Cloud Packet Core.
“We want to support the evolution toward the fourth industrial revolution by giving companies the ability to leverage private wireless networks for their critical communications needs and rapidly ramp-up business applications that improve efficiency,” Nokia head of advanced mobile network solutions Thorsten Robrecht said.
“We continue to evolve our end-to-end solutions and services to allow enterprises to transition towards digitalization in a smooth and cost-efficient way in preparation for 5G automation in the future.”
