Transforming Small Industrial Sites with 5G Connectivity
Digital transformation is a driving force across various industries, and Nokia has made a significant stride towards enhancing private wireless connectivity for small and mid-sized industrial sites with the Nokia DAC PW Compact. This compact solution ensures that even the smallest enterprises can enjoy the benefits of digital transformation by offering security and reliable connectivity.
By offering affordable, energy-efficient, and reliable private wireless connectivity, it empowers businesses to embark on their journey towards digital transformation, unlocking new opportunities and improving operational efficiency. Small enterprises, logistics, warehousing, and various industrial segments stand to gain from this innovative solution, bridging the connectivity gap and reshaping the future of Industry 4.0.
Affordable For All Budgets
Since it’s tailored to meet the growing demand for small and medium-sized campuses, the Nokia DAC PW Compact provides seamless connectivity for humans and machines in challenging industrial environments. It builds upon the foundation of Nokia’s acclaimed private wireless solution – the DAC – offering the same level of radio performance, ease of use, integration, and scalability. Additionally, it provides a considerable advantage to smaller businesses with its affordability, allowing organizations to enjoy a cost-effective connectivity solution without any upfront investment.
Traditionally, 5G has been considered a solution for larger warehouses and industrial sites. However, the Nokia DAC PW Compact redefines what’s possible by offering 5G performance at Wi-Fi costs. This means fewer access points, lower installation costs, reduced energy consumption, and operational cost savings. Its automated operation ensures quick and hassle-free deployment.
A Sustainable Connectivity Solution
In line with Nokia’s commitment to accelerating digital transformation and adopting green energy solutions, the Nokia DAC PW Compact is designed to be up to 60 percent more energy-efficient than Wi-Fi. This energy efficiency not only reduces the environmental footprint but also lowers operational costs for businesses, further strengthening the case for its adoption.
Saving Revenue with Reliable Connectivity
Many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) suffer from poor connectivity, limiting their ability to reach their full revenue potential. According to ABI Research, the logistics sector alone is estimated to lose over $664 million in annual revenue due to connectivity issues. The Nokia DAC PW Compact offers a lifeline to these businesses by providing mission-critical private cellular technology, which can address these connectivity challenges and unlock unrealized revenue.
Warehousing, in particular, stands to benefit significantly from the compact 5G private wireless solution. Warehouses are often densely populated with metal shelves and machinery, leading to coverage gaps resulting in handover failures, parcel losses, and tracking issues. The Nokia DAC PW Compact enhances existing use cases and opens the door to many more possibilities for improving warehouse operations.
A Versatile Solution for Diverse Industries
The Nokia DAC PW Compact is not limited to the logistics and warehousing sectors – it’s ideal for various industrial segments. It is adaptable for small enterprises in verticals such as ports, manufacturing, mining, petrochemicals, and retail. The plug-and-play deployment and IT-native operability make it easy to integrate and use. It offers configurations for indoor, outdoor, and mixed radio coverage, ensuring it can address a wide range of connectivity requirements.
5G technology guarantees the performance of mission-critical applications, even during peak network usage, by prioritizing radio resources. This ensures that businesses can rely on uninterrupted communication for their operations. Additionally, the seamless connection inside and outside warehouses, even in challenging radio conditions, provides consistent coverage.
Larger enterprises that deploy the Nokia DAC PW Compact in their small facilities will gain the advantage of a single multi-site private wireless solution. This simplifies management and ensures consistent connectivity across all their campuses.
Scalability and Digital Transformation
The Nokia DAC PW Compact doesn’t just stop at providing connectivity. As businesses expand their private wireless deployment over time, the solution offers an easy upgrade path to add incremental capacity, users, and radio configurations. It even allows for the addition of Wi-Fi technology when required.
By converting the deployed edge to Mission Critical Industrial Edge (MXIE), businesses can take their private wireless solutions to the next level, becoming a platform for digital transformation. This platform supports a wide array of Nokia and third-party OT use case applications, enabling enterprises to unlock new opportunities and streamline operations.
