Completely forgot that they now own Bell Labs.
I wonder what Nokia have as a core revenue stream these days? They really dropped the ball when the iPhone & Android came to market (and to a lesser extent, the Blackberry).
Guess they're still making a killing on telco hardware/software/infrastructure.
- swarnie 3y agoFrom looking in to the company a lot last year i think its mostly 5g and national infrastructure. Huawei getting black bagged by the US helped a bit.
- helsinkiandrew 3y agoAlthough they don't make mobile phones (themselves) now, they're deeply involved in everything to do with mobile/wireless hardware and services that the phones connect to. As well as their own products probably just about every other phone manufacturer also pays to use their IP - I think Apple still pay Nokia $8 for every iPhone sold. https://nokiamob.net/2023/07/01/apple-inc-renews-patent-licencing-agreement-with-nokia/ https://nokiamob.net/2023/07/01/apple-inc-renews-patent-lice... > Nokia’s patent portfolio is built on more than €140 billion invested in R&D since 2000. It is composed of around 20,000 patent families, including over 5,500 patent families declared essential to 5G.
