“ Not technology first , but business and customers first ”
MIKKO UUSITALO CEO , EDZCOM
He gives an example that if connectivity goes down at a mine for more than 20 minutes work has to stop – costing the enterprise millions of dollars per day . “ We can avoid this by designing , building and operating the network to provide as much uptime as customer requires .
Uusitalo points out there are three advantages to an enterprise investing in a private network closer to the site , including :
• Improving safety Ensuring 24 / 7 communications and enabling automatisation of hazardous operations
• Accelerating efficiency Securing 24 / 7 / 365 continuity of business critical operations and increasing productivity
• New revenue streams Enabling micro-operator opportunities and enabling new revenue streams through innovative product development
“ We help enterprises do things in a smarter way and provide technology solutions to drive innovation . We do that by providing a high-performance next generation wireless connectivity environment for enterprise customers to work smarter which drives growth and revenue streams ,” he said .
Commenting on the benefits of a tailored private network compared to Wifi , Uusitalo said : “ What we bring on board is the 4G and 5G radio components that ensure highperformance connectivity with very low latency and high uptime which is always available and designed for the customer use cases .”
