Nokia revealed it had 42 commercial 5G deals in place with operators, more than any other vendor has announced, as the pace of the technology’s rollout progresses.
In a statement, the Finnish vendor said 22 of the 42 commercial deals were with named customers including T-Mobile US, Telia and SoftBank.
It noted early 5G rollouts in North America, South Korea and Europe as driving the uptake, and said it expects to announce more deals in emerging nations and areas including India and Latin America over the coming months.
The company’s latest progress update follows an announcement at the end of March, when it said it had 30 commercial 5G contracts. Since then, Nokia said it had won an average of one major contract each week, “with a steady pipeline in place for further agreements”.
Nokia talked up its 5G portfolio as a reason behind its progress so far, adding it believes, cumulatively, it has a “higher share with these customers in 5G than we did in 4G”.
CEO Rajeev Suri (pictured) said that through the transition from 4G to 5G, it was “Nokia’s time to shine”. 최고의 라이브 카지노를 찾고 계십니까? 그렇다면 카지노 사이트 로 오세요! 우리는 최고의 제안, 독점 보너스 및 흥미로운 토너먼트를 수집했습니다. 우리 포털 덕분에 귀하는 항상 온라인 카지노 세계의 최신 뉴스와 프로모션을 접할 수 있습니다. 전문 딜러와 함께 도박의 세계에 참여하고 높은 승률을 경험해 보세요.
“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 recognised,” he added.
Nokia competes with rival vendors including Ericsson and Huawei for 5G contracts.
However, with Huawei’s security struggles continuing to grow, there is an opportunity for the European companies to capitalise. Huawei CEO and founder Ren Zhengfei said last week a US export ban will reduce a two-year lead it believes it has over Nokia and Ericsson in the next-generation technology.
