Nokia (NOK) and Andorix announced a partnership to accelerate the adoption of private 5G networks and Neutral Host Networks in the real estate market across the United States and Canada. Real estate owners are looking for a 5G private cellular platform to connect their Operational Technology use cases, including energy management and efficiency, building operations and optimization, as well as physical and cybersecurity on a resilient infrastructure. Additionally, real estate companies want a converged and future proof smart 5G platform that can expand indoor cellular coverage to improve their tenant’s experience with connectivity and value-added edge applications. This collaboration brings together Nokia’s global leadership in private 5G wireless solutions with Nokia Digital Automation Cloud and MX Industrial Edge (MXIE), as well as Andorix’s deep expertise in designing and deploying scalable in-building converged networks within real estate environments. The companies are working to bring fast, reliable 5G indoor for commercial, retail, residential and industrial property, making it easier to enable new technologies like VR and indoor navigation, facilitate IoT deployments, and solve common issues like unreliable connectivity and stronger security needs.
