Real estate owners are looking for a 5G private cellular platform to connect their Operational Technology (OT) 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 (DAC) 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.
Willie Kopp, Head of Enterprise Campus Edge sales in North America at Nokia, said “Private 5G networks are transforming how enterprises operate, and in-building connectivity is a critical piece of that puzzle. By partnering with Andorix, we are combining best-in-class 5G technology with proven in-building converged network deployment expertise to support the growing demand for private 5G connectivity within the built environment in North America.”
Nokia has deployed private wireless networks for 890 customers globally, with 24 percent of those customers in North America. Andorix brings hands-on experience managing converged network infrastructure deployments in Class A commercial, residential and mixed-use developments—where reliable indoor connectivity is critical for efficient building operations and tenant satisfaction.
