nokia’s stock experienced last week quite a beating. The result on the day of the company’s value fell by almost a quarter and continued to decline thereafter.

the Drop seems to have stabilised today, the stock is this writing 1.7 per cent rise.

the general picture is, however, bleak. The fifth generation of mobile networks, the trade is about to launch, but Nokia is late. Helsingin sanomat reported that Nokia fix the situation mm. hiring people from Finland (you move to another service).

Nokia problems are found then the system circuits than bad johtamises jacket. Many have heard with the echoes of the past.

– Nokia mobile half new-generation products are lagging behind competitors, cash deteriorates, credit ratings decline and the rate plunges. Like this we were sometimes in the past, said Inderes analyst Mikael Rautanen on Twitter last night.

“Before” means the Nokia cell phone business destiny.

Nokia couldn’t handle the competition in the Apple iphone or Google Android ecosystem against. In the end Lumia cell phones was sold to Microsoft.

This time against the Swedish Ericsson and chinese Huawei. If nokia’s market value drops, the company trade rumors soon begin to turn the company around.

inderes the Ancient, Nokia IP routers, optical networks, business and patent portfolio are separate more valuable than nokia’s if current exchange rates. That calculation in the cell phone network would not be so value at all.

These Nokia might be interesting to purchase the item, but who would be the buyer?

Samsung, Cisco, or any other

Nokia ended up in foreign ownership would be the finns would say terrible things. However, it is not difficult to imagine that Nokia was interested in.

If the Korean Samsung to buy Nokia, it would reach the cell phone network in the big leagues. The world’s largest smartphone manufacturer, Samsung would also benefit from nokia’s patent portfolio.

on the other Hand, the Atlantic on the other side of the network giant Cisco Systems. It tried to tune in in cooperation with Ericsson, but four years ago, declared the partnership has not produced significant results.

the united states is the world’s leading technology developer, but cell phone networks, the developers are the land of the lost. This has been updated especially for Huawei-reporting connection (switch to another service).

at Least the us authorities and the political leadership would like very much that situation would change.

Ericsson is not, at least not for sale

If someone wants to purchase the traditional mobile network of the company, all eyes are now turned to Nokia. Other large are virtually no trade.

Huawei is the company’s own words, “workers owned”, and ericsson’s share of voting power from approximately 60% in Sweden.

Nokia, by contrast, has about 80 percent of foreign owners in the command. Traditionally, nokia’s largest owners have been just american institutions.

Nokia usa also close in the sense that Nokia employs in North America about 14 000 employees. Alcatel-lucent’s acquisition of the company has a lot of american customers and, for example, the renowned Bell Labs research center.

Operators keep fingers crossed

Each operator hopes to currently nokia for good. If Nokia would disappear, you’d be left with only two traders and price competition will fade.

a Particularly difficult situation should the United states and Australia in countries such as, where Huawei has been shut out of the 5g market.

the operator you need the third company involved in the competition. This setup gives confidence in Nokia networks in the future.

But what if you’re facing a major transition?

for Decades, the cell phone network is built on the base station and network equipment, which has provided a limited set of Nokia, Ericsson, Huawei, ZTE and Samsung like companies.

Now, running multiple projects, with special technology seeks to “virtualize” and to replace the general-purpose network devices and software.

the Japanese ecommerce giant Rakuten is currently underway by such a cellular phone network and the british operator Vodafone to tell just running its test in the Uk. Become active in this area are Cisco and Facebook such as technology companies, which traditionally have not been in the cell phone network of merchants.

will history Repeat itself?

the optimism, according to the open architecture in mobile networks, the construction is clearly cheaper (you move to another service). Sceptics, according to the technology is not ready yet for a long time.

what is Interesting is that Nokia has been involved in the field of developers in the consortium – despite the fact that the project seems to be directed at its benefits. Nokia is also involved (you move to another service)rakuten’s network in Japan.

Ericsson has taken these “virtualized” networks Nokia skeptical more. It joined the O-Ran-the alliance until February of this year.

Huawei is not the projects officially included.

Apple iphone and golg I Android Nokia take time arrogantly. The result is the Finnish economic history terrible.

the Optimist might interpret that this time, the company is better awake large disruptioita in the case.
