Nokia Partners With Senetas to Secure Defence and Government Networks
Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
NOK and Senetas allied to deliver integrated, mission-critical security for modern defense environments.
The alliance combines NOK's network solutions with Senetas' quantum-resistant encryption.
NOK says the integrated solution protects core to edge networks while meeting strict security standards.
Nokia (NOK - Free Report) and Senetas Corporation have announced an alliance to deliver integrated, mission-critical security capabilities tailored for modern defence environments. The collaboration brings together Nokia’s trusted, scalable mission-critical network solutions, supported by its Defence-in-Depth cybersecurity framework, with Senetas’ globally certified, quantum-resistant encryption technology.
By combining Nokia’s Optical LAN, IP and Optical portfolios with Senetas’ advanced encryption, the alliance safeguards high-speed, geographically dispersed operations against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.
What Does This Partnership Offer?
This partnership provides robust, end-to-end protection spanning core networks to the tactical edge, as nations across Asia bolster sovereign defence capabilities and strengthen critical infrastructure resilience.
The companies are eliminating vulnerabilities across the entire communications chain, from data centres to frontline environments, including autonomous and remote platforms essential for enhanced Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) and combat operations. In contemporary defence scenarios, secure connectivity is equally vital in central infrastructure and in demanding field conditions. Senetas’ quantum-resistant encryption extends military-grade protection across all mission environments, whether underwater, in the air, or on land—shielding critical assets from advanced state-sponsored and criminal cyber-attacks.
The Nokia–Senetas solution enables defence and government organizations to uphold data integrity and confidentiality across diverse, high-performance networks while meeting stringent sovereign and international security certification requirements, including FIPS, Common Criteria and equivalent standards. With Nokia’s global leadership in secure mission-critical networks and Senetas’ Australian-founded, independently certified defence encryption technology, the partnership underscores a strong commitment to sovereign, trusted solutions.
Management highlighted that Nokia is a trusted partner to the defence community, delivering secure, scalable and resilient mission-critical networks, from smart military bases powered by field-proven fiber technologies to secure multi-service wide-area networks for modern defence operations using IP/MPLS and optical networks. By partnering with Senetas, the company strengthened its quantum-safe capabilities to meet additional defence-specific requirements and reinforce its Defence-in-Depth strategy.
Nokia stands to benefit significantly from this strategic alliance. In October 2025, it announced that it teamed up with CommScope to simplify and accelerate fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) deployments across the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. Nokia aims to integrate its Broadband Easy digital automation platform with CommScope’s FLX ODN non-hardened connectorized terminals. The combined solution offers service providers a fully digitized, end-to-end path to FTTH, delivering unmatched precision, speed and automation.
In September 2025, Nokia announced that it formed a partnership with Supermicro, a global leader in application-optimized total IT solutions, aimed at empowering cloud providers, hyperscalers, enterprises and communication service providers (CSPs) to deploy high-performance, AI-optimized data center networking solutions.
For 2025, Nokia expects a comparable operating profit in the range of €1.7-€2.2 billion. The company expects strong sales growth in the Network Infrastructure, Cloud and Network Services segment in 2025. Nokia expects stable net sales from the Mobile Networks segment.
