Nokia announced a partnership with Leonardo, a global leader in aerospace, defense, and security, to provide cutting-edge mission critical services integrated into Nokia’s core enterprise solutions worldwide. This solid collaboration strengthens Nokia’s leadership position in secure and scalable private wireless connections, which are suitable for basic services such as public safety and industrial sectors (such as energy and railways) that require the highest levels of performance, resilience, and reliability.

Nokia will embed Leonardo’s flagship mission critical service platform MCnlinX, next-generation broadband mission critical service platform, and intoNokia’s enterprise solution portfolio. This technology combination will provide pre integrated solutions globally, accelerate deployment, reduce complexity, and ensure operational readiness. It can also accelerate emergency response speed, improve operational safety, enhance service reliability, and ultimately benefit communities and basic services worldwide.

Nokia Enterprise Wide Area Network Manager Prakash Sagadopan said,”By combining Nokia’s powerful private wireless and core software capabilities with Leonardo’s trusted mission critical technology, we will provide a seamless solution that meets the strict requirements of industries such as public safety, energy, and railways. This partnership demonstrates our commitment to providing secure, real-time, and resilient communication solutions for critical infrastructure.”

The MCnlinX platform fully complies with 3GPP standards and can provide one click communication, video, and data services for critical tasks on dedicated and commercial LTE/5G networks, supporting real-time communication, enhanced situational awareness, and rapid coordinated response. Nokia’s core enterprise solutions provide customized, low footprint core modules optimized for critical task communications in public safety, utilities, and railway operations.

Claudio Rando, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Sales at Leonardo’s Network and Security Solutions Division, said, “We are pleased that Nokia has chosen Leonardo’s MCylinX to integrate into their core enterprise solutions after a thorough competitive process. By leveraging the high scalability and reliability of our mission critical service platform in collaboration with Nokia, we provide an unparalleled communication ecosystem made entirely in Europe for public safety and critical infrastructure.”
