About Us:-
Nokia Oyj is a Finnish communications and information technology multinational
corporation that is headquartered in Espoo, Finland. Its Nokia Solutions and Networks
company provides telecommunications network equipment and services, while Internet
services, including applications, games, music, media and messaging, and free-of-charge
digital map information and navigation services, are delivered through its wholly owned
subsidiary.
In the 1970s, Nokia became more involved in the telecommunications industry by developing
the Nokia DX 200, a digital switch for telephone exchanges. The DX 200 became the
workhorse of the network equipment division. Its architecture enabled it to be developed into
various switching products. In 1984, development of a version of the exchange for the Nordic
Mobile Telephony network was started.
For a while in the 1970s, Nokia's network equipment production was separated into
Telefenno, a company jointly owned by the parent corporation and by a company owned by
the Finnish state. In 1987, the state sold its shares to Nokia and in 1992 the name was
changed to Nokia Telecommunications.
In the 1970s and 1980s, Nokia developed the Sanomalaitejärjestelmä ("Message device
system"), a digital, portable and encrypted text-based communications device for the Finnish
Defence Forces. The current main unit used by the Defence Forces is the Sanomalaite M/90
(SANLA M/90).
In 1998, Check Point established a partnership with Nokia, bundling Check Point's Software
with Nokia's computer Network Security Appliances.
The technologies that preceded modern cellular mobile telephony systems were the various
"0G" pre-cellular mobile radio telephony standards. Nokia had been producing commercial
and some military mobile radio communications technology since the 1960s, although this
part of the company was sold some time before the later company rationalization. Since 1964,
Nokia had developed VHF radio simultaneously with Salora Oy. In 1966, Nokia and Salora
started developing the ARP standard (which stands for autoradiopuhelin, or car radio phone
in English), a car-based mobile radio telephony system and the first commercially operated
public mobile phone network in Finland. It went online in 1971 and offered 100% coverage
in 1978.
In 1979, the merger of Nokia and Salora resulted in the establishment of Mobira Oy. Mobira
began developing mobile phones for the NMT (Nordic Mobile Telephony) network standard,
the first-generation, Finaland's first fully automatic cellular phone system that went online in
1981. In 1982, Mobira introduced its first car phone, the Mobira Senator for NMT-450
networks.
Nokia bought Salora Oy in 1984 and changed the company's telecommunications branch
name to Nokia-Mobira Oy. The Mobira Talkman, launched in 1984, was one of the world's
first transportable phones. In 1987, Nokia introduced one of the world's first handheld
phones, the Mobira Cityman 900 for NMT-900 networks (which, compared to NMT-450,
4. 4
offered a better signal, yet a shorter roam). While the Mobira Senator of 1982 had weighed
9.8 kg (22 lb) and the Talkman just under 5 kg (11 lb), the Mobira Cityman weighed only
800 g (28 oz) with the battery and had a price tag of 24,000 Finnish marks (approximately
€4,560). Despite the high price, the first phones were almost snatched from the sales
assistants' hands. Initially, the mobile phone was a "yuppie" product and a status symbol.
Nokia's mobile phones got a publicity boost in 1987, when Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev
was pictured using a Mobira Cityman to call from Helsinki to his communications minister in
Moscow. This led to the phone's nickname of the "Gorba".
In 1988, Jorma Nieminen, resigning from the post of CEO of the mobile phone unit, along
with two other employees from the unit, started a notable mobile phone company of their
own, Benefon Oy (since renamed to GeoSentric). One year later, Nokia-Mobira Oy became
Nokia Mobile Phones.
Nokia was a key developer of GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications), the
second-generation mobile technology that could carry data as well as voice traffic. NMT
(Nordic Mobile Telephony), the world's first mobile telephony standard to allow international
roaming, provided expertise for Nokia in developing GSM, which was adopted in 1987 as the
new European standard for digital mobile technology.
Nokia delivered its first GSM network to Finnish operator Radiolinja in 1989. The world's
first commercial GSM call was made on 1 July 1991 in Helsinki, over a Nokia-supplied
network, by then-Prime Minister of Finland Harri Holkeri, using a prototype Nokia GSM
phone. In 1992, the first GSM phone, the Nokia 1011, was launched. The model number
refers to its launch date, 10 November. The Nokia 1011 did not yet employ Nokia's
characteristic ringtone, the Nokia tune, which was introduced as a ringtone in 1994 with the
Nokia 2100 series.
GSM's high-quality voice calls, easy international roaming and support for new services like
text messaging (Short Message Service) laid the foundations for a worldwide boom in mobile
phone use. GSM came to dominate mobile telephony in the 1990s, by mid-2008 accounting
for about three billion subscribers, with more than 700 mobile operators across 218 countries
and territories. Connections were growing at the rate of 15 per second, or 1.3 million per day.
As of 2013, Nokia employed 87,771 people across 120 countries, conducts sales in more than
150 countries and reported annual revenues of around €30 billion. Nokia is a public limited-
liability company listed on the Helsinki Stock Exchange and New York Stock Exchange. It is
the world's 274th-largest company measured by 2013 revenues according to the Fortune
Global 500.
In 2013, Nokia sold what was once was the world's largest vendor of mobile phones to
Microsoft as part of an overall deal totalling €5.44 billion (US$7.17 billion). Stephen Elop,
Nokia's former CEO, and several other executives will join Microsoft as part of the deal. In
March 2014, the deal is yet to be closed due to regulatory issues in Asia.

Nokia unveiled its third range on 24 February 2014, the Nokia X family, which run a
modified version of the Android operating system. The range includes three mid-tier devices;
Nokia X, Nokia X+ and Nokia XL.
