Nokia and IBM spin-off Kyndryl teamed to build specialized 4G and 5G private wireless networking services for industrial enterprises. The companies claim that this collaboration will offer digital transformation benefits.

They will be using IoT, AI, and cloud computing to deliver Industry 4.0 advances. The collaboration had already delivered private 4G and 5G networks, proofs-of-concept, and related services for US chemical company Dow, Nokia and Kyndryl explained.

Kyndryl and Nokia plan to explore and develop products and services for edge cloud, IP networking, optical networks, fixed access, 4G and 5G core, and network operations software technologies to address the growing demand for industrial-grade wireless networks. Private wireless networks are a hot topic for enterprises because they can deliver lower latency, higher bandwidth, faster speeds, and greater capacity for digital transformation and Industry 4.0 projects.
