Velaspan yesterday announced it has been working with Nokia, a market leader in private wireless networks. Velaspan packages its Managed Private Cellular services with Nokia Digital Automation Cloud (DAC) private cellular network systems. Velaspan is one of the first authorized managed service providers to join Nokia’s enterprise solution partner channel program.
The Velaspan Managed Private Cellular (MPC) offering is an all-inclusive and fully managed 4G LTE / 5G service that includes high-touch network design, integration with existing enterprise L2/L3 networks, deployment, and ongoing monitoring and updating.
Demand for MPC is driven by a growing number of emerging use cases that need pervasive coverage, seamless mobility for users and devices with high reliability. The company is focused on customers in construction, education, healthcare, manufacturing, mining, gas and oil, ports, and retail. With the agreement with Nokia, Velaspan MPC can deliver services using both Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) and other worldwide public and private spectrum.
The Nokia Digital Automation Cloud (DAC) is a private wireless solution offering seamless 4.9G/LTE or 5G coverage, high performance and reliable connectivity. The system improves connectivity for business and mission critical operations. The heart of the system is the Nokia MX Industrial Edge (MXIE), radio access network (RAN) and network core. The complete system also comes with remote radio units (RRUs) and the Nokia DAC manager.
