How DAC Wi-Fi works
Nokia DAC Wi-Fi is an edge centric Wi-Fi solution consisting of Radio, MX Industrial Edge (MXIE) and the Nokia DAC Manager. MXIE provides Nokia DAC Wi-Fi management and authentication functions as containerized applications. Where Wi-Fi and private wireless deployments coexist, MXIE runs the LTE/5G core and provides cellular Wi-Fi interworking functions. MXIE is designed to run OT application processes on-premises and unify all industrial OT computing needs. The addition of Wi-Fi continues this approach, with expanded connectivity-agnostic capabilities ensuring that MXIE can process all data from connected assets.
