Why step up to 5G private wireless?
5G technology means you can optimize warehouse performance in terms of automation and asset tracking.
Performance
Performance you can count on
Efficient warehouses depend on efficient automation – and that needs mission critical communications. Whatever the network demands, our solution keeps communications open.
The 5G advantage
By prioritizing radio resources, 5G guarantees the performance of mission-critical applications even when the network is heavily loaded.

Performance you can count on
Efficient warehouses depend on efficient automation – and that needs mission critical communications. Whatever the network demands, our solution keeps communications open.
The 5G advantage
By prioritizing radio resources, 5G guarantees the performance of mission-critical applications even when the network is heavily loaded.
Seamless connection inside and out
Currently experiencing patchy coverage or have issues with range? An indoor 5G access point provides similar coverage as 7 Wi-Fi access points to provide consistent coverage in any environment.
The 5G advantage
All-around coverage for warehouses up to 150k sq ft – even in difficult radio conditions.
Move around but stay in touch
5G is a native mobile technology hence provides more reliable and faster hand over between access points compared to Wi-Fi.
The 5G advantage
Seamless handovers for your automated vehicles or mobile robots optimize warehouse efficiency.
Your affordable route to digitalization of your warehouse
Traditionally 5G has been a solution for bigger warehouses and industrial sites. Nokia DAC PW Compact redefines what’s possible.
5G performance. Wi-Fi costs.
You need fewer access points than in a Wi-Fi network. That means lower installation costs, energy consumption, and operational costs.
As easy to use as Wi-Fi
With its automated operation, Nokia DAC PW Compact takes just minutes to deploy, integrate, and get up and running.
Pay as you go. Pay as you grow!
Simple subscription payments mean no upfront investment. Then you can easily scale up as your warehousing needs develop. For example, using our MX Industrial Edge (MXIE) you could transform your private wireless solution into a full platform for digital transformation.
Problems solved
How can I end patchy coverage?
Effective asset tracking depends on comprehensive network coverage.
I need to improve my network’s quality of service
Higher reliability and faster response times improve business performance.
My automated vehicles lose connection on the move
Maintaining a strong signal from one end of the warehouse to the other is crucial.
Scaling up can be a challenge
As your business grows you need a solution that will grow with you.
