state-of-the-art networking technology, today announced a

Kyndryl and Nokia established their global network and edge
computing alliance in February 2022. The partnership has since
grown exponentially, with more than 100 active engagements with
global enterprises, from advisory or testing, to piloting, to full
implementation, across 24 countries. With a shared vision and
commitment to help enterprise and mission critical infrastructure
customers accelerate their digital transformations with
leading-edge LTE and 5G private wireless networking, 90% of the
current engagements are enterprises in the industrial manufacturing
sector – including multinational petrochemical, mining and timber
and utilities/energy companies.
“As enterprises seek to accelerate and deliver on their journeys
towards Industry 4.0 and digitalization, the effective integration
and deployment of advanced LTE and 5G private wireless networking
technologies becomes instrumental to integrate all enterprise
operations in a seamless, reliable, efficient and built in a secure
manner,” says Alejandro Cadenas, Associate Vice President of Telco
and Mobility Research at IDC. “This expanding, powerful
relationship between Nokia and Kyndryl is a unique combination of
vertical and horizontal capabilities, and offers IT, OT and
business leaders access to the innovation, tools, and expert
resources they need to digitally transform their operations. The
partnership offers a compelling shared vision and execution that
will enable customers across all industries and geographies to
access the ingredients they need to deliver against the promise of
digital acceleration, powered by network and edge computing."
The expanded effort will be enhanced with Kyndryl’s achievement
of Nokia Digital Automation Cloud (DAC) Advanced accreditation
status, which helps ensure that enterprise customers benefit from
an expanded lineup of expert resources and skilled practitioners
who have extensive training and deep understanding of Nokia
products and solutions. In addition, customers will gain access to
Kyndryl’s accelerated network deployment capabilities and support
of Nokia cellular radio expertise in selected markets.
To meet the growing convergence and demands of IT and OT for
enterprises, Kyndryl, Nokia, and Palo Alto Networks, a global
cybersecurity leader, will launch a joint lab in Raleigh, North
Carolina to bring reliable, and auditable wireless connectivity
with advanced security capabilities to industrial networks. Through
the collaboration, a multi-factor zero trust model for industrial
networking is enabled at both the IT and OT sides of the network
using the best tools and resources from each of the companies.
Kyndryl’s network experts are developing an integrated system
starting from the foundations of a typical Modbus process control
network and extending access and security beyond the typical shop
floor. Using the Nokia Digital Automation Cloud, private cellular
connectivity will enable high mobility and extended reach of the
network.
“Our partnership with Nokia has been focused on co-innovating
and co-creating for customers to digitally transform their
workspaces and operations,” said Paul Savill, global practice
leader of Network and Edge computing for Kyndryl. “The success we
have seen in deploying private wireless for customers like Dow
Chemical over the past 12-months, along with the global expansion
of our collaboration, is a testament to our belief that we can
jointly help companies drive Industry 4.0 transformation across all
industries, with speed and scale.”
“Kyndryl and Nokia have a shared vision for digital
transformation, and as leaders in our respective industries we are
driven to grow this market together. We are excited to build upon
our existing success and strengthen our alliance targeting more
enterprise customers across multiple industries,” said Chris
Johnson, head of Nokia's Global Enterprise Business. “The two
companies are currently exploring and developing new, integrated
solutions and services for Edge, Cloud, IP networking, Optics,
Fixed Access, 4G and 5G Core and Network Operations software
technologies, which can address the growing demand for
mission-critical, industrial-grade wireless networking.”
To date, Kyndryl and Nokia have successfully implemented a
private wireless network with edge computing for Dow Chemical, at
their petrochemical processing plant in Freeport, TX. The
modernization of the Dow Chemical plant with advanced connectivity
has increased worker safety, enabled remote audio and video
collaboration, and real time smart procedures.
At Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2023, Kyndryl and Nokia will
unveil new device management services at the Nokia partner arena
(Booth #3A20/2A2), showcasing Kyndryl’s auto-provisioning software
leveraging Nokia’s customizable enterprise mobile capabilities on
Nokia’s XR20 line of industrial-grade, ruggedized devices. The
jointly-developed offerings will further enhance workplace
mobility, and improve productivity, employee communication, and in
industrial scenarios enhance overall worker safety. Together,
Kyndryl and Nokia are addressing the collaboration and operational
needs that contractors and operators face in the field today.
Additionally, Gretchen Tinnerman, Vice President, US Network and
Edge Practice Leader at Kyndryl will join Nokia CEO, Pekka
Lundmark, onstage during his MWC keynote address taking place
Tuesday, February 28, 12:00-13:00 CET at the Keynote Stage, Hall
4.
Nokia has deployed mission-critical networks to more than 2,600
leading enterprise customers in the transport, energy, large
enterprise, manufacturing, webscale, and public sector segments
around the globe. It has also extended its footprint to more than
560 private wireless customers worldwide across an array of
industrial sectors and has been cited by numerous industry analysts
as the leading provider of private wireless networking
worldwide.
