Nokia has announced its decision to strengthen its position in the United States by launching a dedicated entity focused on providing “innovative technologies” to the US federal government.
The new entity, called Nokia Federal Solutions (NFS), will utilize technology portfolio owned by Nokia Bell Labs to meet the demands and needs of the US federal government.
“The launch of Nokia Federal Solutions is an important step in developing our defense business and highlights our ongoing commitment to the US market. I look forward to seeing our reliable and high-performance communication solutions support the US government and federal agencies to help them achieve their goals,” said Tommi Uitto, President of Mobile Networks at Nokia.
According to Nokia, its new entity will provide critical technology and services to various agencies, as well as create solutions that meet the requirements of US federal agencies that make use of Nokia’s technology and product portfolio, such as IP routing, optical networking, microwave, 5G, Private Wireless, and Tactical Private Wireless.
The move represents a significant investment for Nokia as the Finnish company aims to become one of the most trusted partners of the US government for 5G-ready solutions and other network technologies.
