Bring simple multipath connectivity to complex industrial environments

Nokia MX Boost lets you combine multiple radio technologies and spectrum to provide reliable, high-performance connectivity for your business- and mission-critical industrial applications.

Powered by patented Nokia Bell Labs innovations and deployed on the Nokia MX Industrial Edge (MXIE), MX Boost makes it easy to aggregate 4.9G/5G private wireless connectivity paths with a host of other connectivity options. You can boost throughput by combining radio links or determinism by retaining the capabilities of the strongest one.

With MX Boost, you can unify disparate radio technologies – for example, Wi-Fi and 4.9G/LTE – to gain more flexibility to support innovative IT and OT applications and accelerate your digital transformation.

Most industrial plants have heterogeneous connectivity environments such as multiple legacy Wi-Fi networks and various private wireless radio layers. MX Boost helps you extract more value from these solutions and your existing network environment by combining their strengths with unique multipath connectivity.

Choose the operating mode that suits your application

Intelligent algorithms and real-time link testing enable you to operate MX Boost in one of two modes based on the application you want to support. Whether your application demands higher capacity via the aggregation mode OR very tight latency and reliability via the replication mode, MX Boost can help.

Use cases

The two MX Boost operating modes give you the flexibility to support multipath connectivity combinations that can meet the needs of virtually any critical application. Common combinations can include:

4.9G/LTE + Wi-Fi 6E: Wi-Fi6E can complement 4.9G/LTE networks to increase capacity and data rates for business-critical applications that require reliable performance, including 4K camera-based remote control and augmented reality.
4.9G/LTE replication: The replication of two 4.9G/LTE bands can meet the demands of mission-critical applications that require ultra-reliable low-latency communication, including cloud-based programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and worker safety applications.
