Nokia Networks Mobile Broadband Global Services
From caring for aging populations
toproviding clean water and safe
energytoreducing greenhouse gas,
theopportunities opened by
theProgrammable World are
seeminglyendless.
Nokia Networks will play a leading part
in developing that world. It will provide
the networks that carry data trac from
machine to machine to people and it
willprovide companies and individuals
with the intelligence to interpret and
use that data.
Through its two segments —Mobile
Broadband and Global Services—it is
the trusted partner of operators that,
between them, have close to ve billion
subscribers. Nokia Networks is at the
leading edge of technology. At the end
of2014 it had 162 LTE customers and
aninstalled base of 200 WCDMA/HSPA
customers and 300 GSM customers.
Serving 170 customers, Nokia Networks’
Customer Experience Management
(“CEM”) oerings arewell established and
it provides Operations Support Systems
to the world’s top ten operators.
The development of ways for machines to
communicate, interpret data and act—all without
human intervention —enables people to address
some of our biggest global challenges.
Its Global Services teams have so far
delivered 400 multi-vendor projects;
they put a new site on air every 100
seconds and manage networks serving
550 million subscribers. Nokia Networks
takes its customers’ investments
seriously and its highly ecient Global
Delivery Centers now manage close
toone billion network elements.
A world of opportunities also contains
threats. Nokia Networks’ focus on
security aims toprotect the connected
world from security breaches and,
asacompany, itpays great attention
tokeeping its employees, suppliers
andpartners safe.
For the future, Nokia Networks will
expand its reach, while defending its
strong position in its existing markets.
As the realms of telecommunications
and IT converge, itwill continue to
support, consult and serve its customers
and to help them develop the human
possibilities of technology.
