Telit Cinterion announced a technology collaboration with Nokia to provide mission-critical and heavy industries with a new generation of mission-critical communication and in-network compute capabilities. By integrating Telit Cinterion's latest cellular, satellite, and Wi-Fi communication modules with Nokia's Cognitive Digital Mine (CDM) platform, oil/gas, logistics, mining, and other industries now have powerful new options for minimizing downtime and emissions while maximizing worker safety and productivity. Nokia's award-winning CDM platform uses AI and digital twins to enable use cases such as edge computing that makes real-time decisions about vehicles and other equipment in the field.
The heart of the CDM platform is the Black Box, a ruggedized compute and connectivity engine designed for extreme industrial environments. The Black Box uses AI for tasks such as dynamically bonding dual 5G links, switching across triple Wi-Fi radios, or falling back to satellite, all based on SLA requirements. This optimization ensures that edge computing and other applications have the kind of ultra-resilient, high-performance connectivity for autonomous vehicles and other mission-critical applications.
Under the collaboration, Nokia integrates Telit Cinterion's new modules for 5G NR, Wi-Fi 6/7, and Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN). This enables a new class of intelligent, self-optimizing machines and systems capable of sensing, deciding, and acting locally, even when disconnected from the cloud. The collaboration and CDM Black Box will be showcased jointly at CES 2026 from January 6-9 in Las Vegas.
