This international collaboration will allow Nokia to expand its portfolio of industrial devices with i.safe MOBILE products, supporting the connectivity needs of organizations in sectors such as chemical, pharmaceutical, and mining.
The IS540.1, the world’s first 5G smartphone for ATEX and IECEx 1/21 zones, and the IS540.2 for 2/22 zones, have been awarded the prestigious Red Dot award for their design, and are now part of Nokia’s comprehensive solution for private wireless infrastructures.
Nokia offers industrial 5G devices deployed on the Nokia Digital Automation Cloud (DAC) in a ‘as a service’ (aaS) subscription model. The application packages include Nokia’s industrial device management, which allows administrators to remotely manage devices and apply group policies to scale device management across their fleet, as well as Nokia Team Comms and Nokia Network Digital Twin. Nokia will continue to add more types of devices to the managed aaS model.
