Nokia Networks

Nokia Networks is the telecommunications equipment and services business of Nokia Corporation, providing mobile and fixed network infrastructure, software and professional services to mobile network operators, enterprises and public-sector customers. Its primary offerings include radio access networks (RAN), core network solutions, cloud-native software, network automation and managed services, serving operators and large organizations seeking connectivity, 4G/5G deployments and private wireless solutions. The unit’s roots trace to the 2007 Nokia Siemens Networks joint venture and it is rebranded as Nokia Networks after Nokia acquired Siemens’ stake in 2013; the business is headquartered in Espoo, Finland and operates globally. Positioned in the telecom equipment sector alongside other major vendors, Nokia Networks is a well-established global player with operations across dozens of countries and access to the broader Nokia Corporation’s tens of thousands of employees and multi‑billion euro annual revenues. Distinguishing characteristics include a long-standing R&D capability through Nokia Bell Labs, participation in early commercial 5G deployments, partnerships with major operators and cloud providers, and the expanded portfolio following Nokia’s 2016 acquisition of Alcatel‑Lucent. As part of a publicly traded parent, Nokia Networks draws capital and strategic direction from Nokia Corporation rather than venture funding. Recent initiatives emphasize cloud-native 5G core, Open RAN interoperability, private wireless solutions and continued global 5G rollouts.
