Westcon-Comstor, the global technology distributor, has signed a new distribution agreement with Nokia, which sees Westcon-Comstor bringing the Nokia industry grade private wireless solution - Nokia Digital Automation Cloud (DAC) to the German market.
As digital transformation accelerates, so does the need for next generation connectivity. From smartphones to smart factories, 5G has the power and performance needed for resource-intensive big data and IoT applications, ensuring devices and people can access critical networks in challenging circumstances. Private wireless networks are uniquely equipped to handle limitations of current IT networks, including Wi-Fi, in remote locations, large plants or temporary sites. A standalone private wireless network provides the robust and reliable connectivity that’s essential to today’s industrial and business operations — from people and machines to sensors and analytics.
Nokia Digital Automation Cloud (DAC) provides a reliable, secure, and high-performance private wireless network that is scalable according to needs.. The industrial-grade digital automation service platform offers reliable high-bandwidth and low-latency private 4.9G/LTE and 5G connectivity, local edge computing capabilities, voice and video services as well as a catalogue of other applications. It is a compact, easy-to-deploy platform, comprising network and user equipment, a cloud-based operation monitoring system and industrial connectors with standard and industry-specific protocol connectivity. It can also seamlessly integrate and manage new devices, such as ruggedised handhelds.
With Westcon-Comstor acting as the distributor for the Nokia DAC platform in Germany, supported by a dedicated 5G team, this new partnership will provide the industry expertise and specialised channel needed to unleash the full potential of high-performance, end-to-end private wireless networking.
