As the demand for on-premises and customised connectivity continues to grow among the enterprises and businesses, LTE or 5G based private wireless has emerged as the go-to technology for providing a reliable and secure connectivity, tailored to specific needs for supporting business and mission critical applications. More so in the asset-intensive physical industries, such as manufacturing, mines, ports, utilities etc., that are looking at Industry 4.0 to increase their business efficiency, improve safety, become more agile and sustainable, and be better prepared for the future.
As per Bell Labs Consulting<\/a> 2021 report, today the ratio of information and communications technology (ICT) spend between digital industries (including online retail, media, banking etc.) and physical industries is 70:30— while the proportion of their respective GDP contributions is 30:70. By 2030 however, the ICT spend ratio will change to 35:65 in favour of physical industries as they are undergoing a massive digital transformation with private wireless playing a pivotal role. Our CEO Pekka Lundmark echoed the very sentiment when he announced, “There is no green without digital” at COP26<\/a>, Glasgow.
Public safety agencies and armed forces are also looking at LTE or 5G based private wireless for increased digitalization of their operations and enhanced situational awareness as their existing networks, mostly narrow band and based on P25, TETRA etc., are not able to meet the performance requirements.
Private wireless is the clear choice
<\/strong>
Compared to LTE or 5G based private wireless, traditional industrial connectivity solutions, including Ethernet, Wi-Fi, etc., lack the capabilities to control the various aspects of workflows and applications at industrial scale. Cabling lacks flexibility and is not very cost efficient for connecting a large number of IoT sensors, devices and machines, and Wi-Fi does not meet the performance, mobility or security specifications. Below are some of the key features of private wireless that substantiate its benefits:
- Predictable performance<\/li>
- High multi-user capacity<\/li>
- Pervasive coverage for indoor and outdoor applications<\/li>
- Very high reliability<\/li>
- Full mobility<\/li>
- Supports low-powered sensor communication<\/li>
- Intrinsic security <\/li><\/ul>Industrial grade private wireless: We make it happen

As the global leader in private wireless, Nokia<\/a>’s has powered more than 450 enterprises and public sector bodies across verticals- from factories and warehouses, to ports, airports, mines, utilities, through to public safety, defence and smart cities- to fuel their digital transformation and make their operations safer, more sustainable, productive and efficient.
Our Nokia Bell Labs<\/a> has a dedicated research practice on industrial automation, edge computing and private wireless. We deployed the world’s first LTE private wireless solution in 2012, launched the world’s first standalone private 5G network in 2020 and are working with NASA to put private wireless on the moon.
We offer end-to-end private wireless solutions<\/a> including IP, optical, applications and devices for private, public and hybrid deployment models with solution blueprints tailored to specific segment needs, both in licensed and unlicensed spectrum. Further, if needed, our solution allows to combine the enterprise private network with shared public network slices. Our solution interacts seamlessly with public networks, which makes it easy to get the right network mix for your business.
Based on Nokia Bell Labs<\/a> research and our experience with private LTE deployments, we believe that 85–90% of today’s industrial applications can be run on LTE. This is further substantiated by the GSA February 2022 report - LTE is used in 78% of the catalogued customers deploying private mobile networks globally. Many big enterprises and organizations are today deploying LTE based private networks<\/a> for this very reason – it gives them a competitive advantage and these networks will continue to play a key role even as 5G is introduced at a later stage to handle the more demanding use cases as they develop.
Unleashing the era of private wireless in India<\/strong>
We are actively engaging and collaborating with various Indian enterprises and businesses across a range of verticals – ports, airports, railways, defence, power utilities, smart city, manufacturing, mines, refineries etc. - to help them prepare for digital transformation with private wireless as the enabler.
We have already deployed LTE based private wireless at our Chennai factory for enhanced automation and higher operational efficiency – that was also India's first 'real-world' application of Industry 4.0. Our strong global experience and partnerships with various device suppliers, industrial OEMs and system integrators, coupled with our partnerships with CSPs gives use the reach and depth to help our India customers unleash the private wireless and be future ready.
With government playing a key role in enabling and facilitating the wider adoption of Industry 4.0 in collaboration with the enterprises and industry players, India is well-poised to usher in the era of Industry 4.0.
