Like the iconic entrance to Nokia's mobile phones , where two hands come together to greet each other, the two companies will work together to promote the digital transition of business to offer new services, higher levels of efficiency, resilience and productivity, critical to ensuring their ongoing competitiveness.
According to the companies, service architectures based on 5G technology also make it possible for new processes and operations to be supported in a totally private environment. And what are the benefits? Greater security, reliability, lower latency and differentiated service levels for business-critical uses in industry and other sectors such as health, transport, energy, logistics or distribution.
This technology also boosts Industry 4.0 by giving companies access to the most innovative digital technologies - such as full automation, robotics, artificial intelligence and advanced analytics - to transform their operational processes.
"This partnership with Nokia allows us to offer new levels of competitiveness and maximize the scale of our operations, reflected in the innovation offered to our customers in terms of technology and solutions. By using private mobile networks we can meet the critical communications needs of industries, public bodies, cities and companies, where automation and process automation are crucial aspects. We are entering a 5G era of unprecedented high potential", says Ana Figueiredo, CEO of Altice Portugal.
For his part, Sérgio Catalão, general manager of Nokia Portugal, said: "We are excited about this partnership, combining our technological leadership in private 5G mobile networks with the presence of B2B solutions and services from MEO Empresas, we will provide unique solutions for the Portuguese business market. 5G has immense potential to drive business digitalisation and unlock innovative use cases, enabling new revenue streams."
