Spanish businesses are set for a digital transformation boost as Nokia and Telefónica join forces to develop the private 5G network market in the country.
This three-year agreement signifies a major step forward in Spain’s journey towards Industry 4.0, the era of data-driven and AI-powered industrial automation.
The collaboration focuses on empowering key sectors like ports, manufacturing, and logistics. Nokia will deploy its advanced solutions, including Digital Automation Cloud (DAC), Modular Private Wireless (MPW), MX Industrial Edge (MXIE), and Industrial devices. These technologies will seamlessly integrate with Telefónica’s established network infrastructure, creating a robust foundation for Spanish enterprises.
At the heart of this initiative lies Nokia’s one-stop platform for industrial digitalization.

The partnership is expected to significantly accelerate Spain’s adoption of Industry 4.0. Businesses will be equipped to become more data-driven, unlocking new possibilities for growth and efficiency.
Telefónica brings its expertise to the table, with over 90 real-world customer use cases exploring the potential of 5G. This collaboration will pave the way for a smooth migration of these applications to the new 5G network, further enhancing Telefónica’s capabilities.
Nokia’s proven track record in mission-critical networks adds another layer of confidence to the project. With deployments for over 2,600 leading enterprises globally and over 730 private wireless customers worldwide, Nokia brings a wealth of experience to the table.
This partnership positions Spain at the forefront of digital transformation. By leveraging cutting-edge technology and expertise, Spanish companies will gain a competitive edge through improved connectivity, operational efficiency, and a focus on worker safety and sustainability.
As the deployment progresses over the next three years, the impact on various industries and the potential for innovation within Spain’s digital economy will be closely watched.
