Nokia has partnered IT services firm DXC Technology to Launch DXC Signal Private LTE and 5G Solution.

Based in Ashburn, Virginia, DXC Technology was formed on the merger of HPE’s Enterprise Services business unit and CSC. The company also incorporates the business of EDS.

DXC Signal Private LTE and 5G is a managed secure private wireless network and digitalisation platform to help industrial enterprises digitally transform their operations.

As part of a global, strategic partnership, the two companies have made a commitment to providing private wireless networking solutions. DXC and Nokia will together offer companies high-bandwidth, low-latency wireless business networks designed for increased automation, operational technology (OT) data processing, and security.

According to a statement, DXC Signal Private LTE and 5G is designed to meet the growing demand for private wireless networks in key market segments, including manufacturing, supply chain and logistics. The solution integrates Nokia Digital Automation Cloud (DAC) and Nokia MX Industrial Edge (MXIE) with DXC Platform X to provide enterprises with monitoring and analytics capabilities, enhanced security and connectivity.

Brian Miller, Global Lead, Applications, DXC Technology, said: “Over the past year, DXC’s Signal Private LTE and 5G managed service has deployed a significant number of networks across diverse customer environments. Our customers are partnering with DXC in unlocking the full potential of private wireless networks to drive their digital transformations in environments where traditional networks can’t scale. Our partnership with Nokia allows us to deliver an innovative and future-proof solution, empowering our customers to achieve greater operational efficiency, IT and OT convergence, and maintain robust data privacy.”

DXC Signal Private LTE and 5G has six end-customer wins to date and a growing joint pipeline.

Raghav Sahgal, President of Cloud and Network Services, Nokia, said: “At Nokia, we believe building out a robust partner ecosystem is essential for enterprises to fully embrace Industry 4.0. Our go-to-market partnership with global system integrator, DXC, will be key to helping enterprises succeed in the digital economy by combining our strengths in sector knowledge and extensive technical and network experience. Together, we’re delivering a scalable, global solution that meets the demanding wireless connectivity and OT data processing needs of today’s asset-intensive industries, while providing a foundation for future innovation.”
