Nokia DAC PW Compact 5G private wireless solution

Nokia Digital Automation Cloud (DAC) Private Wireless (PW) Compact is a 5G private wireless solution in a small form factor, optimised to meet the private wireless connectivity needs of small and mid-sized industrial sites.

Based on the Nokia AirScale small cells, the platform is designed to deliver pervasive connectivity for both human and machine in tough industrial environments. With the security, performance, ease of use, integration and scalability of the Nokia DAC private wireless solution, its smaller form factor aligns to the coverage requirements of small industrial sites and offers an economical entry point for small industrial premises. It is also claimed to be up to 60% more energy-efficient than Wi-Fi, resulting in a lower energy footprint.

For sectors like warehousing, where sites are densely populated with metal shelves and coverage holes can impact business by causing handover failures, parcel loss or tracking issues, the compact 5G private wireless solution enhances existing operational uses cases and makes many more possible. The platform is also suitable for small enterprises within ports, manufacturing, mining, petrochemical, retail and more industrial segments.

It is easy to use with plug-and-play deployment and IT native operability, and provides configurations for indoor, outdoor and mixed radio coverage. Larger enterprises deploying the product in small facilities will have the confidence of a single multi-site private wireless solution deployed across all their campuses. As enterprises expand their private wireless deployment over time, there is an easy upgrade path to add incremental capacity, users and radio configurations, as well as allow for the addition of Wi-Fi technology.
