Companies to showcase deployment at Wells Fargo
Center
Comcast Business today announced it is partnering with Nokia to
extend its enterprise connectivity portfolio to deliver 5G private
wireless networks – using Nokia DAC (Digital Automation Cloud)
industrial-grade private wireless solution and digitalization
enabler platform. The non-exclusive partnership builds on other
wireless strategic innovations to drive Comcast Business’s vision
to support emerging connected ecosystems by delivering connected
solutions at scale.
The first Comcast Business and Nokia showcase deployment will
launch at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia during the first
quarter of 2022 and illustrates how private LTE and 5G networks can
help organizations improve critical operations and infrastructure
while enhancing the fan experience. Applications may include
immersive court-, rink-side and outdoor video experiences, digital
signage throughout the venue, and the use of the internal network
to provide fans inside the arena with real-time information about
parking flow or expected wait times on their way out of the
venue.
“No two companies are alike – and neither are their connectivity
needs. With this strategic partnership, Comcast Business is able to
expand its robust portfolio of connectivity solutions to include
end-to-end private networking; offering sports and entertainment
venues and enterprise customers a one-stop-shop for advanced
connectivity solutions,” said Bob Victor, SVP Product, Comcast
Business. “The unique combination of our network, WiFi expertise,
Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities, spectrum, and managed
services, will enable enterprises to address their business
challenges head-on while ensuring their network infrastructure
remains available, reliable and secure.”
Enterprise businesses, as well as government organizations, can
benefit from private wireless networks by helping them address
their mission-critical infrastructure and operations connectivity
requirements, while fostering innovation in next-generation
customer and employee experiences. Offering enhanced wireless
broadband speed and capacity along with increased reliability and
low latency, private wireless networks will enable businesses to
support their rapidly expanding ecosystem of connected devices.
“Nokia 5G industrial-grade private wireless network solutions
are designed to meet the security, coverage and performance
requirements for a wide range of organizations seeking to
restructure their business operations and improve customer
experience,” said Stephan Litjens, Vice President, Enterprise
Solutions, Nokia Cloud and Networking Services. “In selecting Nokia
as a private wireless connectivity partner, Comcast Business can
combine its technical expertise, market reach and expanded network
solutions to become a leading provider of private wireless to
enterprises in North America.”
Private wireless networks enhance Comcast Business’ robust
networking capabilities while giving clients more wireless options.
The 5G private wireless network solution adds to Comcast Business’s
existing capabilities including DeepBlue for advanced, large-scale
WiFi deployments and MachineQ for long-range, low-power, and
large-scale IoT solutions. Comcast Business will continue to engage
best-in-class hardware, cloud and next-generation application
partners to innovate and support emerging connected ecosystems,
helping businesses better prepare for the future.
“Wells Fargo Center is one of the world’s busiest and most
innovative sports and entertainment venues, and thanks to this
partnership with Comcast Business and Nokia, in addition to our
$300 million Transformation project, our arena will remain on the
cutting edge of the modern fan experience for years to come,” said
Valerie Camillo, President of Business Operations for Wells Fargo
Center. “This state-of-the-art network will not only provide
unprecedented experiences for our fans, but it will also bolster
our health and safety measures, our security protocols, and much
more.”
