Verizon Teams Up With Nokia To Bring High-Tech 5G Boost To Busy British Ports

Verizon Communications (NYSE:VZ) Verizon Business, Thames Freeport, and Nokia Corp. (NYSE:NOK) on Wednesday announced a partnership to deploy Verizon Private 5G Networks across multiple key logistics, manufacturing, and innovation sites along the River Thames Estuary in U.K. Verizon Private 5G Networks will serve as the technology foundation for a multiyear, multibillion-dollar operational transformation and economic revival for the region, one of the busiest maritime logistics hubs in U.K. The Private 5G Networks buildout provides a scalable, long-term connectivity foundation for advanced data, AI, edge computing, and IoT infrastructure deployments to transform port and manufacturing Freeport has already created 1,400 jobs and plans to reach 5,000 by 2030, focusing on high-skilled training for local communities, the company said in a press release. The Verizon Private 5G Networks will enable advanced data and application capabilities for AI-driven data analytics, predictive maintenance, process automation, autonomous vehicle control, safety monitoring, and real-time logistics orchestration. Nokia is the network's sole hardware and software provider, which will incorporate the Nokia Digital Automation Cloud (DAC) platform and Nokia MX Industrial Edge (MXIE). The Verizon Private 5G Networks will be deployed to DP World London Gateway, DP World Logistics Park, Port of Tilbury, and Ford Dagenham. The move marks Verizon's attempt to unlock value beyond U.S. The stock is up just 4% in the last 12 months as it grappled with weaker subscriber numbers due to competition from AT&T (NYSE:T) and T-Mobile US (NASDAQ:TMUS). Verizon reported fiscal first-quarter revenue growth of 1.5% year-over-year, reaching $33.49 billion, topping the analyst consensus estimate of $33.24 billion. Adjusted EPS of $1.19 topped the analyst consensus estimate of $1.15. Total wireless service revenue was $20.8 billion, up 2.7% Y/Y. Postpaid phone net losses were 289,000 versus 114,000 net losses Y/Y driven by price hikes, rival promotional offers, and lesser government support. Verizon attributed some of the loss to lower spending by some federal agencies. Verizon reiterated a 2.0%-2.8% growth in wireless service revenue. It reaffirmed an adjusted EPS of $4.59-$4.73 versus consensus of $4.67. Price action: On Tuesday, Verizon shares edged up 0.64%, closing the session at $42.63.

Verizon wins private 5G contract for UK's Thames Freeport

Verizon Business has won a contract to build multiple private 5G networks at Thames Freeport, one of Britain's busiest shipping and logistics centers, the U.S. telecom giant said on Wednesday. The deal, in partnership with Finland's Nokia, will see Verizon deploy private 5G networks across multiple industrial sites along the River Thames Estuary, including major ports and Ford's largest London manufacturing facility. Private 5G networks provide dedicated connectivity that avoids the congestion and speed variations of public networks shared by multiple users, enabling advanced industrial applications, such as artificial intelligence (AI). 5G adoption in European ports is still at an early stage. The technology allows ports to handle larger volumes of data needed to run or track cargoes, cranes, drones and industrial sensors. The companies did not disclose financial details of the agreement, only describing it as supporting a "multibillion-dollar operational transformation" of the region. Thames Freeport is a 34 km-wide economic corridor established in 2021 as a designated UK "Free Trade Zone", offering a range of tax incentives and reliefs to businesses as part of efforts to revive the Thames Estuary region. Verizon has been working with Nokia to develop private networks for manufacturing and logistics companies in international markets where it lacks its own public network infrastructure. Nokia will serve as the sole hardware and software provider. The networks will serve DP World London Gateway and DP World Logistics Park - Britain's largest deep-sea container port handling over 3 million units annually -, the Port of Tilbury and Ford's Dagenham plant. Use cases will include AI-driven data analytics, predictive maintenance, process automation, autonomous vehicle control, safety monitoring and real-time logistics orchestration, Verizon said.
