Watch how easy it is to create your own private wireless network and automation platform

Solution components

Your Nokia DAC comes with edge computing hardware (MX Industrial Edge), our leading AirScale and Flexi Zone radio platforms, add-on industrial applications and a selection of ruggedized devices. It also comes with spectrum - your choice of licensed, shared (CBRS) or unlicensed (MulteFire) spectrum, giving you secure, pervasive indoor and outdoor connectivity.

If you select the 4.9G version with its rich ecosystem of compliant devices, you can later upgrade to 5G via a simple software update and replacement of access points. It also gives you a head start on 5G by defining priorities for different sources of data through network slicing. By deploying 5G SA, you will benefit from increased capacity and speed, lower latency, and energy costs.  The two generations are combined in Nokia DAC 5G non-standalone (NSA) and offers you an alternative route to 5G. Whatever use case you have in scope, we've got you covered.

Edge computing - Nokia DAC

Local edge computing

Leverage secure local OT edge computing with our Nokia MX Industrial Edge. Nokia Digital Automation Cloud is edge centric and cloud supported, ensuring both the proximity to data and low latency needed to support demanding and data intensive applications such as autonomous vehicle control, high accuracy object positioning, video analytics, AR/VR etc. Local computing power also ensures data privacy, as information does not have to leave the premises unless you wish to export it through a secure channel.

High mobility and multi-local network

High-availability and multi-local network

Are you seeking a multi-local network set up for your enterprise locations around the world? With Nokia DAC, you can customize the configuration for [showmore] a uniform experience across geographies. It can easily be replicated to new locations, and existing sites can be extended. Thanks to fast and reliable handover from one core network to another, you can implement advanced IoT applications that demand reliable business critical connectivity such as remotely controlled vehicles drones and robots.

Micro-services framework - Nokia DAC

Micro-services framework

Nokia DAC has a built-in micro-services framework that can be used to optimize the right service level for each application.[showmore]

These virtual connections use the same underlying network infrastructure but are dedicated to the precise performance needs of each application, whether that’s ultra-reliability, low latency, extreme capacity or any other requirement. It’s like having a different service tailored to each need and makes deployment of multiple applications easier.
