Private Wireless Communications for forward operations
Rapidly deployable 5G networks to improve defense digital and multi-domains capabilities while in operation.

Nokia’s private wireless solution for forward operations leverages advanced standard cellular communications, 4G & 5G, in compact, ruggedized and deployable form factors to deliver high-performance, reliable military communication networks tailored to defense needs.
Our deployable networks address the unique mobility and compactness requirements of forward operations, enabling forces to deploy innovative digital services on a larger scale. These new capabilities allow to boost situational awareness and operational capabilities, giving forces the information advantage, when outside of their permanent bases.
