Perspectives

Abstract

And in fact, when I opened the hood, I realized that the long-term potential of this deal is enormous because it can go way beyond what was presented in Nokia’s June 2 press release:

“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.”

The statement explicitly states that the partnership starts with Nokia’s Cloud and Network Services where private wireless networks, DAC and MXIE reside. However, I just see this as the tip of the iceberg. Look at Figure 1 and you get a glimpse of what Andorix does as a company and how Nokia’s whole portfolio (i.e. Optical, IP, Fixed, and Mobile Networks) can nicely fit in. All this led us to analyze in more detail who Andorix is, what it does, what smart buildings are, where we go from there, and why this partnership marks a new growth chapter in private 5G wireless, in-building solutions, and neutral host networks for the 2 companies. Only the sky is the limit!
