Nokia (NYSE: NOK) announced the signing of a contract with Danish global integrated logistics company, Maersk, to equip 450 vessels in its fleet with Nokia’s private wireless network solutions. This deployment is part of Maersk’s IoT connectivity platform, OneWireless, which enables real-time cargo tracking, supply chain visibility, and operational efficiency.
According to Maersk, the logistics and maritime operations environment requires resilient and flexible technology for real-time asset tracking and positioning. By adopting Nokia’s private wireless technology, Maersk aims to address the challenges of its current infrastructure onboard both owned and chartered vessels and achieve scalability and future-proof connectivity.
Nokia claims its unified mobile network supports many IoT devices and ensures secure interoperability between private and public networks. Maersk says its customers can reliably monitor cargo at sea, port, or land, tracking parameters like temperature and humidity for perishables.
The solution includes Nokia’s small cells portfolio, Shikra RRH, compact baseband, and custom antennas. Each vessel uses a small core connected to the radio with satellite communication for backhaul. Nokia’s MantaRay NM in Maersk’s operations center offers a consolidated network view for optimal monitoring and management.
The deployment is underway and is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2026.
