Press Release
Stong deal momentum shown in pace and volume of top-tier global
operator wins - averaging a major operator win announcement every
week since March
- Nokia's 5G technology is present in all regions in the world
with notable recent wins in Latin America, Asia Pacific and Middle
East regions
3 June 2019
Espoo, Finland - Nokia today confirms its position with 42
commercial 5G deals (more than any other vendor has announced) in
place with operators around the world, 22 with named customers such
as T-Mobile, Telia Company and Softbank. Including these
agreements, Nokia's 5G deals, trials and demos total over 100 5G
customer engagements to date.
Since the announcement of the 30th commercial 5G contract at the
end of March the company has seen an average of one major contract
win each week - with a steady pipeline in place for further
agreements.
Nokia's ability to deliver on crucial network transformation
goals has been rewarded by the confidence shown in the company from
our existing customers. To date, every 4G customer that has come to
us to investigate how we may work with them for 5G has selected
Nokia as a vendor and cumulatively we believe we have a higher
share with these customers in 5G than we had in 4G.
With an end-to-end portfolio that is unique in the industry,
Nokia can work in partnership with operators to deliver "real 5G".
Nokia's in house 5G mmWave Small Cells and AirScale BTS provide
in-building and outdoor coverage, while our Microwave Anyhaul,
Cloud native RAN, antennas, and 5G cloud-native core are part of
approximately half of our agreements to date. Beyond our mobile
networks portfolio, Nokia has excellent FP4 network processor-based
IP routers and PSE- 3 chipset powered optical networking - our
customers can use the Nokia Network Services Platform to make this
into full-5G-strength software defined connectivity 'smart network
fabric' secured by Nokia Security Orchestration, Analytics and
Response (Nokia SOAR) to ensure resilient 5G.
Early rollouts of 5G have been well publicized in North America,
Korea and Europe and Nokia is looking forward to announcing its
work with operators in emerging nations and regions such as India
and Latin America over the coming months.
Nokia President and Chief Executive Officer Rajeev Suri
says: "The pace of 5G progress is accelerating across the
globe. We are delivering significant performance increases to
operators and the power of Nokia's end-to-end portfolio is being
recognized. In fact, in pretty much every network where Nokia
products are deployed, we are the performance leader. Here and now
- at the beginning of one of the most radical technology
transitions ever with 4G giving way to 5G - this is Nokia's time to
shine."
