Nokia is replacing Huawei at Deutsche Telekom sites in Germany
Nokia is replacing Huawei at Deutsche Telekom sites in Germany
Tommi Uitto, Nokia's top mobile executive, sees opportunity to advance through open RAN at Huawei's expense.
Love it. When they announced they were getting out of the handset market years ago I figured they were nuts. Now their equipment replaces china’s while they seemingly now manufacture licensed knockoffs of Nokia’s old handsets 🤯
Someone at Nokia is getting the Bond Villain of the Year award 🤔
Both Ericsson and Nokia have been huge players in the cellular networking market for many years, and still are. Nothing new. The only thing new is that they are getting even more contracts in the west since governments started boycotting Chinese companies (for good reason).
I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here, but Nokia was a general tech company doing this sort of thing long before their handset business took off. They were known for phones the same way IBM was for laptops but that was almost a distraction from their core business.
HMD, the company that now makes Nokia-branded phones, is Finnish. Not only that, HMD is literally the same division that Nokia sold off to Microsoft, then MS spun off as a separate company and still has a lot of the same senior staff. The people making Nokia phones in 2024 are the same people who made them in 2004.
I wasn’t really going for a point… and I suspect I was looking at some kind of odd knockoff based on what you said about the handsets. Shopping for something with a keypad to pacify my aging father I ran across this (New and Original Nokia 6300 4G)[ https://a.aliexpress.com/_mON9HOK]. Which triggered some latent memory of Nokia licensing their handset business to someone, and here we are.
They also recently won a deal with Rakuten Mobile to supply RAN equipment in Japan
Ran-chan?
win!
fuck huawei. crooked propaganda tool for the fat dictator. fuck china. free tibet & the uigurs.
In unrelated news, there's suddenly a lot of cheap huawei equipment on ebay.
I have been looking for some rubidium time clocks... I missed the boat when they decommissioned 2G and they were going for dirt cheap on eBay. Last I checked they were far more expensive now, so let's hope this and the 3G tear down help bring the prices down again.
Maybe that's why China wants to dump all their old huawei 4g equipment on north korea?
Nice, used to be like this. Europe with European telecom. products, Nokia, Ericsson, etc.
More protectionist measure as national security issues. Lip service to free and open market.
Huawei owns lots of 5g patents, will be paying one way or another.
Its not about not paying Huawei. Its about the way the CCP uses Huawei to spy.
Enjoy that sweet 50 cents mate.
