Espoo, Finland – Nokia and Telefónica today announced an alliance to
accelerate digital transformation for enterprises in Latin America,
working together to offer and deploy Nokia’s complete end-to-end
portfolio of industrial-grade private wireless network & digitalization
platform solutions.

The alliance will be focused on the most promising industries in the
region including ports, mining, energy and manufacturing verticals in
Hispanic America.

World leading industrial-grade Nokia private wireless network solutions
provide a more pervasive broadband connectivity, with lower latency,
greater predictability and higher security, than alternate solutions and
are consistently being selected by several industries as the backbone
for digital transformation projects.

Juan Vicente Martín, Director for B2B at Telefonica Movistar Empresas
Hispanoamérica, said: “In this unprecedented alliance, the benefits
of LTE & 5G private wireless will enable Industry 4.0 across industries.
With our strategic partner Nokia, we provide the best connectivity,
enable greater optimization of operations, achieving important
productivity and efficiency rates and contributing to the digitalization
of the industrial sectors throughout Latin America.”

Néstor González, Head of Customer Team for Telefonica Corporate,
Nokia, said: “We are thrilled to partner with Telefonica, combining
our leading Industrial-grade private wireless solutions with Telefónica
Hispanoamérica’s growing B2B solutions and services footprint, to
jointly reach a wide variety of enterprises and industries throughout
the region. We are very excited to be at the forefront of digital
transformation for enterprises in Latin America which have tremendous
potential for productivity gains from Industry 4.0. We thank Telefónica
Hispanoamérica for their confidence in Nokia and we are looking forward
to jointly deploying many new networks”.

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 595 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.

According to a recent survey [1] by Nokia and GlobalData with 79
multinationals that have deployed Nokia industrial-grade private
wireless solutions, nearly 80 percent of survey respondents expected to
achieve ROI within six months of deployment.
