Nokia DAC Wi-Fi Expands Industry Connectivity Options

Unleashing the Potential of Cutting-Edge Wi-Fi Technology for IT and Non-Business-Critical OT Applications

Nokia Digital Automation Cloud Wi-Fi (NDAC Wi-Fi) simplifies the implementation of Wi-Fi 6/6E for both IT and non-business-critical operational technology (OT) applications in industrial environments. Running on the Nokia MX Industrial Edge (MXIE), NDAC Wi-Fi enables on-premises digitalization applications, workloads, and analytics for Industry 4.0.

As businesses across all industries continue to increase their reliance on wireless technologies, private wireless is gaining prominence for mission-critical OT applications. However, Wi-Fi will continue to be an integral part of enterprise networks for the foreseeable future. Upgrading to Wi-Fi 6/6E allows enterprises to support non-business-critical use cases and existing Wi-Fi devices within a license-free spectrum.

By deploying Nokia DAC Wi-Fi, organizations can harness the advantages of the latest Wi-Fi generation alongside an on-premises edge cloud solution that accelerates OT digitalization, facilitating a seamless transition to private wireless. Additionally, for those who have already implemented Nokia’s private wireless solution, Nokia DAC Wi-Fi can serve as a complementary layer for non-business-critical operations at hotspot locations. By leveraging the connectivity-agnostic capabilities of MXIE, this added Wi-Fi layer ensures that all data from connected assets can be processed on-premises.

Solution Use Cases
