Nokia has recently introduced the Nokia DAC PW Compact, an innovative solution that addresses the private wireless connectivity needs of small and medium-sized industrial sites. As industries are becoming more digitally oriented to improve their operations, the compact version of Nokia's advanced private wireless system provides seamless connectivity and first-rate security features. This guarantees that even the smallest businesses can take advantage of the advantages of digitalization.
If you're seeking a speedy delivery alternative, the Nokia DAC PW Compact may be worth considering. It caters to small to medium-sized campuses and effectively meets the growing need for seamless connectivity. By utilizing Nokia AirScale small cells, it ensures dependable connectivity for both individuals and machines, even in the toughest industrial settings.
The Nokia DAC private wireless solution is renowned for its seamless integration, impeccable radio performance, and scalability. Recently, a smaller version, the Nokia DAC PW Compact, has been introduced, ideal for providing coverage to small industrial sites. This version is a cost-effective option for smaller industrial premises as it seamlessly connects devices, effectively boosting productivity without requiring an initial investment.
Moreover, in keeping with Nokia's commitment to promoting the adoption of green energy and advancing digital transformation, the Nokia DAC PW Compact is up to 60% more energy-efficient than Wi-Fi, resulting in a significantly lower energy footprint.
Poor
connectivity is hindering some SMEs from achieving their full revenue
potential. The logistics sector, according to ABI Research,
is forfeiting upwards of $664 million in annual revenue that mission-critical
private cellular technology, such as the Nokia DAC PW Compact, could help to
realize. For sectors like warehousing, where sites are densely populated
with metal shelves and coverage holes can impact business by causing
handover failures, parcel loss, or tracking issues, the compact 5G private
wireless solution enhances existing operational uses cases and makes
many more possible.
The platform is also suitable for small enterprises within
ports, manufacturing, mining, petrochemical, retail, and many more industrial
segments. It is easy to use with plug-and-play deployment and IT native
operability, and provides configurations for indoor, outdoor, and mixed radio
coverage. Larger enterprises deploying the Nokia DAC PW Compact
in small facilities will have the confidence of a single multi-site private
wireless solution deployed across all their campuses.
As enterprises expand their private wireless deployment over
time, there is an easy upgrade path to add incremental capacity, users, and
radio configurations, as well as allow for the addition of Wi-Fi technology.
Additionally, by converting the deployed edge to Mission Critical Industrial
Edge (MXIE), enterprises can transform their private wireless solutions to a
full platform for digital transformation thanks to the MXIE capabilities and
its selection of Nokia and third-party OT use case applications.
Initially
available in the U.S. leveraging CBRS
spectrum, Nokia DAC PW Compact is available exclusively through an
extensive network of Nokia certified reseller and system integration partners
including DXC Technology, Future Technologies Venture LLC, Graybar, and Trilogy
NextGen. With stock on hands for many of these channel partners,
the customers can choose from one of three predefined configurations for fast delivery
of a DAC PW compact system that matches their sites' requirements. The DAC
PW Compact brings an OPEX-based model for
zero upfront investment and predictable monthly fee. In
addition, it operates through the standard DAC O&M toolkit and
can be managed maintained via a range of service level agreements provided by
the same partners.
Leo Gergs, Principal Analyst at
ABI Research, said: "With Nokia DAC PW Compact, Nokia extends their product
portfolio in a very important way. Our research shows that Total Cost of
Ownership is enterprises' main factor for deciding which
connectivity technology to deploy. It will
be providing a very competitive cost structure and TCO to other wireless
technologies, like Wi-Fi. Nokia DAC PW Compact will become an
important building block for Nokia and its channel partners to create a value
proposition around private cellular that is easy to understand and digest for
enterprises, particularly in the logistics sector where warehouses, and other segments
like ports and airports that might only need a handful of 5G
radio units to achieve high levels of constant
coverage."
Stephan Litjens, Vice President of Enterprise Campus Edge Solutions at Nokia, said: "With
the addition of the Nokia DAC PW Compact to our portfolio, we can now
address the growing demand from smaller sites and many industries, such as the
growing warehousing segment, who need the secure, low-latency and reliable
connectivity provided by private wireless to digitally transform their
operations. Regardless of the size of the operation, Nokia has a solution that
will connect people, machines, and sensors in an energy-efficient manner and at
an economical price point – equipping an even wider range of industries for
their journey to Industry 4.0."
