Nokia is a Finnish MNC that has operated in various industries over the past 150 years. It was founded as a pulp mill and had long been associated with rubber and cables, but since the 1990s has focused on large-scale telecom infrastructure, techn development, and licensing. Nokia made significant contributions to the mobile telephony industry, assisting in the development of the GSM, 3G, and LTE standards
After exiting the power business in 1992, Nokia's renewed focus on telecom skyrocketed their profits and went from negative in 1991 to $1 billion in 1995 and almost $4 billion by 1999. They built the world's 1st commercially available GSM mobile phone, launched the 1st digital satellite receivers in the UK, produced the world's 1st digital terrestrial television, and created the world's 1st monitor with built-in stereo speakers and a sub-woofer. Nokia was also an innovator of camera phones (partnered with Carl Zeiss) and a pioneer of mobile gaming with "Snake"
In 2008, Nokia Siemens Networks JV reportedly provided Iran's monopoly telecom company with technology that allowed it to intercept the communications of its citizens, allowing the government to read and change the content of emails, social media, online phone calls, block communication, monitor individuals, and alter election results. In July 2013, Nokia bought out Siemens' shares in the Nokia-Siemens Networks and rebranded it Nokia Networks. In 2016 they acquired Alcatel-Lucent, including its Bell Labs research organization, to boost their development of 5G tech and compete with Ericsson and Huawei
In 2016, Microsoft Mobile sold its Nokia-branded feature phone business to HMD Global (founded by former Nokia executive). HMD became the exclusive manufacturer of Nokia-branded phones and tablets outside Japan, operating in conjunction with Foxconn. The deal also granted HMD the right to essential patents and feature phone software. Nokia has direct investments in the company, and they do have some input in the new devices
Since 2018, Nokia has provided 5G wireless radio base stations to Japan, introduced advanced 5G chipsets, was invested in by Solidium (investment arm of the Finnish government), acquired (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-spacetime-m-a-nokia/nokia-acquires-u-s-software-supplier-spacetime-insight-idUSKBN1I80JA)SpaceTime Insight (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-spacetime-m-a-nokia/nokia-acquires-u-s-software-supplier-spacetime-insight-idUSKBN1I80JA) (monitoring and analytics applications to customers in the energy, logistics, transportation and utilities sectors for customers like FedEx, Union Pacific, Entergy, NextEra Energy, and Singapore Power), was invested into by Canada's government for 5G, purchased Elenion Technologies (silicon photonics tech to improve advanced optical connectivity products), won a 5G contract with Taiwan Mobile to be their sole supplier, won a 4G contract with NASA for astronaut usage on the moon, and launched a new logo in February 2023 (first in 60 years) as part of its rebranding strategy

March: Innovation in Practice: Blockchain in Monetization (https://www.nokia.com/blog/innovation-in-practice-blockchain-in-monetization/). Using DLT for High Frequency Charging (HFC), Partner Settlement Marketplace, Digital Payments
?️Consider the scenario where consumers are able to exchange some of their data allowance, voice, or other assets (think earned points) from their existing prepaid plans into a crypto/token currency, through the CSP’s blockchain based service. They can use these crypto assets to “purchase” new services of their choice across the wider partner ecosystem. This further empowers consumers through the use of interchangeable value assets, representing the flexibility that customers will expect as we move further into the 5G Economy?️
