As the Internet of Things (IoT) becomes increasingly integral to modern enterprise, reliable and seamless connectivity is crucial across diverse industries — from manufacturing and logistics to healthcare and hospitality. More and more businesses are enhancing their network infrastructure with private 4G/5G to ensure uninterrupted connectivity and smooth operations.
Specializing in wireless and private networks, Black Box continuously evolves its solutions to deliver enhanced value to enterprises.
Our latest innovation integrates advanced technologies from Nokia and Corning Incorporated, combining Nokia’s Digital Automation Cloud (DAC) private wireless solution with the Corning Everon® distributing antenna system (DAS). This integration effectively unites private and commercial wireless networks on a single infrastructure.
Through extensive research and collaboration with Nokia and Corning, we have successfully tested and verified interoperability. This new solution is now available globally; enabling economical implementation of carrier signals and private 4G/5G, wireless services and unified DAS.
Nokia DAC private wireless is a plug-and-play LTE and 5G-as-a-service solution renowned for supporting demanding use cases with reliable, high-capacity, low-latency connectivity. It also accommodates Wi-Fi for non-business-critical operational technology (OT) applications, and leverages MX Boost technology to enhance capacity and reliability by combining private wireless with Wi-Fi.
The Corning Everon 6200 DAS offers exceptional performance, limitless capacity, and high speed, ensuring comprehensive coverage within facilities. Its flexibility supports indoor and outdoor designs with multiband capability, catering to public access spectrum and technical requirements of CBRS-based private networks over an active fiber-to-the-edge DAS.
This integration spearheaded by Black Box eliminates the need for separate infrastructures for private networks and public cellular services, significantly reducing costs and complexity across various markets and applications. This capability empowers businesses to enhance mobility, strengthen mission-critical communications, deploy IoT solutions, optimize smart manufacturing and automation, and fortify data security.
