Nokia and Andorix, a provider of digital infrastructure and smart building solutions for real estate properties, announced a partnership to accelerate the adoption of private 5G networks and Neutral Host Networks in the real estate market across the United States and Canada.
Real estate owners are looking for a 5G private cellular platform to connect their Operational Technology (OT) use cases, including energy management and efficiency, building operations and optimization, as well as physical and cybersecurity on a resilient infrastructure. Additionally, real estate companies want a converged and future-proof smart 5G platform that can expand indoor cellular coverage to improve their tenant’s experience with connectivity and value-added edge applications.
Private 5G networks are transforming how enterprises operate, and in-building connectivity is a critical piece of that puzzle. By partnering with Andorix, we are combining best-in-class 5G technology with proven in-building converged network deployment expertise to support the growing demand for private 5G connectivity within the built environment in North America.

This collaboration brings together Nokia’s global leadership in private 5G wireless solutions with Nokia Digital Automation Cloud (DAC) and MX Industrial Edge (MXIE), as well as Andorix’s deep expertise in designing and deploying scalable in-building converged networks within real estate environments. The companies are working to bring fast, reliable 5G indoor for commercial, retail, residential and industrial property, making it easier to enable new technologies like VR and indoor navigation, facilitate IoT deployments, and solve common issues like unreliable connectivity and stronger security needs.
Andorix is excited to partner with Nokia to deliver cutting-edge 5G solutions that meet the evolving needs of enterprise clients. With our track record of modernizing in-building network infrastructure across major commercial real estate properties, this partnership will solve some of the challenges faced by the real estate sector in terms of inconsistent connectivity, support for massive IoT deployments within complex or high-value built environments, growing security demands and enabling immersive technologies like VR and indoor navigation.
