Nokia Partners With Sudatel to Offer Ultra-Broadband Services
Read MoreHide Full Article
Nokia Corporation (NOK - Free Report) recently entered into a strategic partnership with Sudatel — a telecommunications and Internet service provider, based in Sudan. Per the deal, both the companies will work on the development of ultra-broadband services in Sudan.
Notably, the partnership will support Sudatel’s 2020 Strategy, under which Sudatel aims to transform itself from a traditional telecom operator to an ICT provider. The collaboration will enable both the companies to trial Nokia 4.5G Pro, 4.9G and 5G mobile technologies along with Nokia’s fixed fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) portfolio. As a result, mobile and residential broadband experience across the country is expected to improve significantly.
Under the collaboration, Nokia and Sudatel will perform a number of different use-case tests, leveraging Nokia fixed and mobile technologies in Nokia Laboratories, located in Espoo and Antwerp. The technologies to be used in the trial are likely to be implemented in Khartoum. This, in turn, is expected to enhance network capacity and speed through the AirScale radio access. Additionally, this partnership will allow Sudatel to trial Nokia's passive optical networking (PON) fiber solutions for improving the residential broadband experience.
Our Take
Nokia has successfully become a leading player in the mobile and fixed network infrastructure with the industry’s most complete, end-to-end portfolio of products, services and licensing. Currently, the company is driving the transition of global enterprises into smart virtual networks by creating a single network for all services, converging mobile and fixed broadband, IP routing and optical networks with the software and services to manage them.
In the past six months, this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company has outperformed the industry it belongs to. The stock has returned 16.4% against the industry’s 2.7% decline.
Moreover, the company is expected to benefit from the rollouts of next-generation 5G networks, which is likely to improve the market conditions significantly in 2019 and 2020. Also, Nokia’s Networks division is anticipated to grow faster than the primary addressable market over the long term.
However, Nokia has considerable operations in geographies outside the United States. Its significant international presence exposes it to political and economic disruptions, all of which might directly impact the company’s profits.

Today's Stocks from Zacks' Hottest Strategies
It's hard to believe, even for us at Zacks. But while the market gained +21.9% in 2017, our top stock-picking screens have returned +115.0%, +109.3%, +104.9%, +98.6%, and +67.1%.
And this outperformance has not just been a recent phenomenon. Over the years it has been remarkably consistent.

Maybe even more remarkable is the fact that we're willing to share their latest stocks with you without cost or obligation.
