Nokia to Help Upgrade India's 5G Infrastructure: Will NOK Stock Gain?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Nokia Corporation (NOK - Free Report) recently inked an agreement with Vodafone Idea for an undisclosed amount to enhance 4G and 5G connectivity in India. The three-year deal will enhance and expand Vodafone Idea’s IP backhaul system by providing a reliable, robust, scalable and future-ready network to handle the increasing data traffic and deliver superior connectivity for both mobility and enterprise services.
How NOK Might Have Secured the Deal
Nokia is well-positioned for the ongoing technology cycle, given the strength of its end-to-end portfolio. Its installed base of high-capacity AirScale products, which enables customers to upgrade to 5G quickly, is growing fast. It 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. Leveraging state-of-the-art technology, it is transforming the way people and things communicate and connect.
The company aims to create new business and licensing opportunities in the consumer ecosystem. It facilitates customers to shift from an economy-of-scale network operating model to demand-driven operations by offering easy programmability and flexible automation required to support dynamic operations, reduce complexity and improve efficiency. It seeks to expand its business into targeted, high-growth and high-margin vertical markets to address growth opportunities beyond its traditional primary markets.
What This Collaboration Brings on the Table
Nokia’s partnership with Vodafone Idea aims to replace the latter’s legacy networks with a significant deployment of IP routers to lower operational costs, accelerate deployment and facilitate seamless scalability for future technologies, ensuring a more efficient and cost-effective network infrastructure. The upgraded network will address Vodafone Idea’s growing demand for high-capacity and resilient connectivity by integrating advanced planning, design, installation, and migration services, supported by automation-based documentation.
Will NOK Stock Benefit?
Nokia has emerged as one of the leading players in the development of advanced 5G technology and is at the forefront of extending 5G use cases in various industries. It has laid a strong foundation of innovation through substantial infrastructure investments. This has led to the establishment of an impressive portfolio comprising approximately 20,000 patent families, including more than 6,000 patent families that are deemed crucial to 5G technology.
The collaboration with Vodafone Idea is likely to propel the stock on incremental revenue generation and similar deals from other carriers in the future. The agreement is also expected to strengthen Nokia’s position as a leading telecommunications equipment provider in the region.
