Nokia is working with Finland's telecom operator Elisa in a joint go-to-market alliance to drive industrial-grade private mobile network deployment.
Under the agreement, Nokia and Elisa will use new and existing radio network infrastructure to deploy private networks with Finnish businesses. The companies will collaborate on 5G private mobile offerings and market development with an aim of helping organizations accelerate digitalization and boost productivity.
Nokia and Elisa will also align their resources to drive marketplace campaigns, share competency development and advance technical co-operation, they say.
The collaboration will initially focus on markets such as maritime and ports, mining, manufacturing, logistics and utilities. Private mobile networks enable these industries to deploy IoT, machine learning and AI for automation, safety and productivity gains.
