Accelerate Your Factory Digitalization with a private 4G/5G Network Solution

Companies in many industries are showing increasing interest in testing private wireless technology. A recent Nokia survey of more than 1,000 senior executives – in sectors including automotive, machinery, metal fabrication, electronics, consumer goods, and oil and gas – showed more than 90 per cent were considering 4G/5G as part of their mission-critical network upgrades.

Widespread deployment is not under way yet, however, for three reasons:

• Manufacturers typically have a long factory asset lifecycle, which makes the adoption of new technology a slow process.
• Enterprises must keep up with production schedules, and cannot afford downtime to introduce new technology.
• 5G is an emerging technology, and many of its features and still lie in the future – such as time-sensitive networking, high-accuracy location and positioning, and 5G industrial IoT.

Nokia has already demonstrated the viability of private wireless by delivering solutions to prominent names such as French chemical operator Butachemie, Turkish appliance manufacturer Arcelik, and Alibaba, the world’s biggest retail e-commerce company.
