In the modern manufacturing environment, success hinges on agility, safety, and data-driven decisions. That’s why forward-looking manufacturers are investing in connected worker strategies—enabling employees with seamless access to data, digital tools, and other employees. altafiber and Nokia are making this vision a reality with secure, high-performance private wireless solutions for larger organizations and enterprises. 

This connected workforce is no longer a theoretical goal. It’s being implemented in real-world settings, helping manufacturers enhance safety, collaboration, and output. In fact, Nokia’s research shows that 95% of early adopters have increased production quality, while 74% realized ROI within just six months. As Paul Downey, Nokia’s Head of Marketing for Enterprise Solutions, said, “We’re enabling enterprises to connect people, machines and sensors with the data and analytics they need to drive better outcomes – making the connected workforce a reality today.”

The altafiber + Nokia advantage

altafiber, in partnership with Nokia, delivers robust, secure private wireless networks that give manufacturers the foundation to enable connected worker use cases. These solutions, built on Nokia’s Modular Private Wireless (MPW) and MX Industrial Edge (MXIE), provide ultra-reliable connectivity and low-latency computing to support mission-critical operations.

Use cases like digital content distribution, real-time geo-positioning, remote expert support, and smart tool integration allow workers to operate more safely and efficiently. Between Nokia’s suite of industrial-grade devices and altafiber's high-performance network, manufacturers can arm their teams for success.
