(1) INTRODUTION

Page 1

Nokia started by making paper the original communications technology The history of Nokia goes back to 1865. That was when Fredrik Idestam built a wood pulp mill on the banks of the Tammerkoski rapids, in southern Finland. A few years later, he built a second mill by the Nokianvirta river the place that gave Nokia its name. Who was Fredrik Idestam? A mining engineer by trade, Idestam brought a new, cheaper paper manufacturing process to Finland from Germany. It was a great success. Idestams invention won a bronze medal at the Paris World Exposition in 1867, and he is considered to be the father of Finlands paper industry.

Idestam named his company Nokia Ab in 1871 Nokia Ab added electricity generation to its business activities in 1902

Did you know? The Nokianvirta river is named after a dark, furry animal that was locally known as the nokia a type of marten

Nokia places high hopes on RP market, sees higher 2009 sales


Companies Written by Willy Rodolfo III / Reporter WEDNESDAY, 04 FEBRUARY 2009 23:39 MOBILE phone manufacturer Nokia still sees the Philippines as its biggest market in the region and projects sales of its cellular phones to increase in 2009. Nokia Philippines country manager William HamiltonWhyte said that while the company projects revenues to dip a little, they estimate the number of phone units sold to increase in 2009, as more and more Filipinos buy phones and many more get their second or third phones. Maybe in terms revenues, [Nokias 2009 performance] will be slightly lower, but in volume it should be a little higher, Whyte told reporters at the opening of the new Nokia Care Center at the Ayala Center Cebu. People will postpone buying a plasma TV or a personal computer, but not their phones, he opined. Nokia sold 468 million mobile phone units worldwide in 2008, 134 million of which are accounted for by Asia-Pacific markets, Hamilton-Whyte said. Although the company is projecting an increase in sales, they are also expecting a gradual shift from high-end phones to mid- and low-end units as spending pockets shrink and budget priorities changing. Hamilton-Whyte said in 2008, their best-selling phone was still the entry-level Nokia 1208 and he expects the same trend to continue in 2009. The Nokia executive pointed out that in 2009, the newly launched 5800 model already sold more than one million units worldwide barely a month after its release, outlining a level of resiliency of the mobile phone market against the global recession. Hamilton-Whyte said industry estimates mobile phone penetration in the Philippines at around 55 percent, still lower than the ideal level set at 70 percent. He said Nokias next big thing will be the launch of the Nokia 6700 which was developed to replace the bestselling 6300. Shipments of the new phone model are expected to arrive in the middle of the year.

Nokia From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Nokia Corporation (pronounced /nokia/) OMX: NOK1V, NYSE: NOK, FWB: NOA3) is a Finnish multinational communications corporation, headquartered in Keilaniemi, Espoo, a city neighbouring Finland's capital Helsinki. Nokia is focused on wireless and wired telecommunications, with 112,262 employees in 120 countries, sales in more than 150 countries and global annual revenue of 51.1 billion euros and operating profit of 8.0 billion as of 2007.[1][3] It is the world's largest manufacturer of mobile telephones: its global device market share was about 40% in Q2 of 2008, up from 38% in Q2 2007 and up from 39% sequentially.[2] Nokia produces mobile phones for every major market segment and protocol, including GSM, CDMA, and W-CDMA (UMTS). Nokia's subsidiary Nokia Siemens Networks produces telecommunications network equipments, solutions and services. Nokia has sites for research and development, manufacturing and sales in many continents throughout the world. As of March 2008, Nokia had R&D centers in 10 countries and employed 30,415 people in research and development, representing approximately 27% of Nokias total workforce.[3] Nokia Research Center, founded in 1986, is Nokia's industrial research unit of about 800 researchers, engineers and scientists.[4] It has sites in seven countries: Finland, Denmark, Germany, China, Japan, United Kingdom and United States. Production facilities are located at Espoo, Oulu and Salo, Finland; Manaus, Brazil; Beijing, Dongguan and Suzhou, China; Fleet, England; Bochum (closing planned for mid-2008),[5] Germany; Komrom, Hungary; Chennai, India; Reynosa, Mexico; Jucu, Romania[6] and Masan, South Korea.[7] Nokia's Design Department remains in Salo, Finland. Nokia plays a very large role in the economy of Finland: it is by far the largest Finnish company, accounting for about a third of the market capitalization of the Helsinki Stock Exchange (OMX Helsinki) as of 2007; a unique situation for an industrialized country.[8] It is an important employer in Finland and several small companies have grown into large ones as Nokia's subcontractors. Nokia increased Finland's GDP by more than 1.5% in 1999 alone. In 2004 Nokia's share of the Finland's GDP was 3.5% and accounted for almost a quarter of Finland's exports in 2003. In 2006, Nokia generated revenue that for the first time exceeded

the state budget of Finland. Finns have ranked Nokia many times as the best Finnish brand and employer. Valued at $33.7 billion, the Nokia brand is listed as the 5th most valuable global brand in Interbrand/BusinessWeek's Best Global Brands list of 2007 (1st non-US company).[9][10] As of 2007, it is the number one brand in Asia[11] and Europe,[12] the 23rd most admirable company worldwide in Fortune's World's Most Admired Companies list of 2008 (tied with Exxon Mobil; 2nd in Network Communications, 5th nonUS company),[13] and is the world's 88th largest company in Fortune Global 500 list of 2008, up from 119 of the previous year.[14] AMR Research ranks Nokia's global supply chain number one in the world. Pre-telecommunications era What is known today as Nokia (pronounced /noki/,[citation needed] Finnish IPA: [noki]) was established in 1865 as a wood-pulp mill by Knut Fredrik Idestam on the banks of the Tammerkoski rapids in the town of Tampere, in south-western Finland. The company was later relocated to the town of Nokia by the Nokianvirta river, which had better resources for hydropower production. That is where the company got the name that it still uses today. The name Nokia originated from the river which flowed through the town. The river itself, Nokianvirta, was named after the old Finnish word originally meaning a dark, furry animal that was locally known as the nokia, or sable, or later pine marten. Finnish Rubber Works established its factories in the beginning of 20th century nearby and began using Nokia as its brand. Shortly after World War I, Finnish Rubber Works acquired Nokia Wood Mills as well as Finnish Cable Works, a producer of telephone and telegraph cables. These three companies were merged to form Nokia Corporation in 1967. The new company was involved in many sectors, producing at one time or another paper products, bicycle and car tires, footwear (including Wellington boots), personal computers, communications cables, televisions, electricity generation machinery, capacitors, aluminium, etc. Telecommunications era The seeds of the current incarnation of Nokia were planted with the founding of the electronics section of the cable division in the 1960s. In the 1967 fusion, that section was separated into its own division, and began manufacturing telecommunications equipment. First mobile phones Nokia had been producing commercial and military mobile radio communications technology since the 1960s. Since 1964 Nokia had developed VHF-radio simultaneously with Salora Oy, which later in 1971 also developed the ARP-phone. In 1979 the merger of these two

companies resulted in the establishment of Mobira Oy. Mobira began developing mobile phones for the Nordic Mobile Telephony (NMT) network standard that went online in the 1980s and in 1982 it introduced its first car phone, the Mobira Senator for NMT 450 networks. Nokia bought Salora Oy in 1984 and now owning 100% of the company, changed the company's telecommunication branch name to NokiaMobira 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. 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).[18] 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. 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. One year later, Nokia Mobira Oy became Nokia Mobile Phones and in 1991 the first GSM phone was launched. Involvement in GSM Nordic Mobile Telephony was the world's first mobile telephony standard that enabled international roaming, and provided valuable experience for Nokia for its close participation in developing Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM). It is a digital standard which came to dominate the world of mobile telephony in the 1990s, in mid-2006 accounting for about two billion mobile telephone subscribers in the world, or about 80% percent of the total, in more than 200 countries. The world's first commercial GSM call was made in 1991 in Helsinki over a Nokia-supplied network, by then Prime Minister of Finland Harri Holkeri, using a Nokia phone. Networking equipment In the 1970s, Nokia became more involved in the telecommunications industry by developing the Nokia DX200, a digital switch for telephone exchanges. In 1982, a DX200 switch became the world's first digital telephone switch to be put into operational use. The DX200 became the workhorse of the network equipment division. Its modular and flexible architecture enabled it to be developed into various switching products. 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 Sanomalaitejrjestelm ("Message device system") for Finnish Defence Forces.[19] Personal computers In the 1980s, Nokia produced a series of personal computers called MikroMikko.[20] However, the PC division was sold to ICL, which later became part of Fujitsu. That company later transferred its personal computer operations to Fujitsu Siemens Computers, which shut down its only factory in Finland (in the town of Espoo, where computers had been produced since the 1960s) at the end of March 2000[21][22], thus ending large-scale PC manufacturing in the country. Nokia was also known for producing very high quality CRT displays for PC and larger systems application. The CRT division was sold to Viewsonic in 2000[23]. Challenges of growth In the 1980s, during the era of its CEO Kari Kairamo, Nokia expanded into new fields, mostly by acquisitions. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the corporation ran into serious financial problems, a major reason being its heavy losses by the television manufacturing division (these problems probably contributed to Kairamo taking his own life in 1988). Nokia responded by streamlining its telecommunications divisions, and by divesting itself of the television and PC divisions. Jorma Ollila, who became the CEO in 1992, made a strategic decision to concentrate solely on telecommunications. Thus, during the rest of the 1990s, Nokia continued to divest itself of all of its nontelecommunications divisions. The exploding worldwide popularity of mobile telephones, beyond even Nokia's most optimistic predictions, caused a logistics crisis in the mid1990s. This prompted Nokia to overhaul its entire logistics operation. Logistics continues to be one of Nokia's major advantages over its rivals, along with greater economies of scale. In the new millennium In April 2003, the troubles of the networks equipment division caused the corporation to resort to similar streamlining practices on that side, including layoffs and organizational restructuring.[24] This diminished Nokia's public image in Finland,[25][26] and produced a number of court cases and an episode of a documentary television show critical of Nokia.[27]

Despite these occasional crises, Nokia has been phenomenally successful in its chosen field. Its growth has come mostly during the era of Jorma Ollila as CEO and his team of about six close colleagues. In June 2006, Ollila left to become the chairman of Royal Dutch Shell. Nokia's new CEO is Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo. On February 2006, Nokia and Sanyo announced a memorandum of understanding to create a joint venture addressing the CDMA handset business. But in June, they announced ending negotiations without agreement. Nokia also stated its decision to pull out of CDMA research and development, to continue CDMA business in selected markets.[28] [29][30] On February 10, 2006, Nokia acquired Intellisync Corporation, a provider of data and PIM synchronization software. On June 19, 2006, Nokia and Siemens AG announced the companies are to merge their mobile and fixed-line phone network equipment businesses to create one of the world's largest network firms. Each company will have a 50% stake in the infrastructure company, to be headquartered in the Helsinki area, and to be called Nokia Siemens Networks. The companies predict annual sales of 16 bn and cost savings of 1.5 bn a year by 2010. About 20,000 Nokia employees will be transferred to this new company. In August 2006, Nokia acquired online music distributor Loudeye Corp for $60 m. The company has been developing this into an online music service in the hope of using it to generate handset sales. The service is expected to launch in late 2007 and would rival iTunes. In March 2007, Nokia signed a memorandum with Cluj County Council, Romania to open a new plant near the city in Jucu commune.[31][32] In May 2007, Nokia announced that its Nokia 1100 handset, with over 200 million units shipped, is the best-selling mobile phone of all time and the world's top-selling consumer electronics product.[33] In July 2007, Nokia acquired all assets of Twango, the comprehensive media sharing solution for organizing and sharing photos, videos and other personal media.[34][35]

In September 2007, Nokia announced its intention to acquire Enpocket, a supplier of mobile advertising technology and services.[36]

In October 2007, pending shareholder and regulatory approval, Nokia bought Navteq, a U.S.-based supplier of digital mapping data, for a price of $8.1 bn.[37] At the Nokia World conference in December 2007, Nokia announced their "Comes With Music" program: Nokia device buyers are to receive a year of complimentary access to music downloads.[38] The service is expected to be commercially available in the second half of 2008. In April 2008, Nokia began finding new ways to Connect People, asking the audience to use their creativity and their mobile devices to become Nokias production company - to take part in filming, acting, editing and producing a collaborative film. Nokia Productions will be the first ever mobile filmmaking project directed by Spike Lee. This will be a collaborative experience that exists across borders and perspectivesworking off a common script. In May 2008, Nokia announced on their annual stockholder meeting that they want to shift to the internet business as a whole. Nokia no longer wants to be seen as the telephone company. Google, Apple and Microsoft are not seen as natural competition for their new image but they are considered as major important players to deal with. In July 2008, Nokia finalized the aquistion of Navteq. Corporate structure Since January 1, 2008, Nokia comprises three business groups: Devices, Services & Software, and Markets. On April 1, 2007, Nokias Networks business group was combined with Siemens carrier-related operations for fixed and mobile networks to form Nokia Siemens Networks, jointly owned by Nokia and Siemens and consolidated by Nokia. The Devices division combines its existing mainline mobile phones division with the separate subdivisions manufacturing Multimedia (Nseries) and Enterprise (Eseries) class devices as well as formerly centralized core devices R&D called Technology Platforms, headed by Kai istm. This division provides the general public with mobile voice and data products across a wide range of mobile devices, including high-volume, consumer oriented mobile phones and devices, and more expensive multimedia and enterprise-class devices. The devices are based on GSM/EDGE, 3G/WCDMA and CDMA cellular technologies.

Nokia's Nseries Multimedia Computers extensively uses Symbian OS. In the first quarter of 2006 Nokia sold over 15 million MP3 capable mobile phones, which means that Nokia is not only the world's leading supplier of mobile phones and digital cameras (as most of Nokia's mobile telephones feature digital cameras, it is also believed that Nokia has recently overtaken Kodak in camera production making it the largest in the world), Nokia is now also the leading supplier of digital audio players (MP3 players), outpacing sales of devices such as the iPod from Apple. At the end of the year 2007, Nokia managed to sell almost 440 million mobile phones which accounted for 40% of all global mobile phones sales.[39] Services & Software The Services & Software division combines the existing Enterprise and Consumer driver services businesses previously hosted in Multimedia and Enterprise as well as a number of new acquisitions (Loudeye, Gate5, Enpocket, Intellisync, Avvenu), headed by Niklas Savander. The group works with companies outside the telecommunications industry to make advances in the technology and bring new applications and possibilities in areas such as online services, optics, music synchronization and streaming media. Markets The successor organization to Nokia's Customer and Market Operations division, represents the sales, marketing and manufacturing functions of the company, led by Anssi Vanjoki. Nokia Siemens Networks Main article: Nokia Siemens Networks Nokia Siemens Networks (previously Nokia Networks) provides mobile network infrastructure, communications and networks service platforms, as well as professional services to operators and service providers. Networks focuses in: GSM, EDGE, 3G/WCDMA and WiMAX radio access networks; core networks with increasing IP and multiaccess capabilities; and services. At the end of 2005, Nokia Networks had more than 150 mobile network customers in more than 60 countries, with its systems serving in excess of 400 million subscribers. On June 19, 2006 Nokia and Siemens AG announced the companies are to merge their mobile and fixed-line phone network equipment

The company also predicts that its total volume estimated for 2009 will be lower than 2008. The reason can also be fluctuations in the rate of currency. Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks predict that mobile infrastructure and fixed infrastructure market will be down in euro terms in 2009 than in 2008. In the last few weeks, the global economic slowdown, combined with unprecedented currency volatility, has resulted in a sharp pull back in global consumer spending, Nokia noted in a statement.

Nokia reports decrease of total performance in IV quarter


The largest manufacturer of mobile phones in the world is not immune from the crisis in the economy. Announced results for the IV quarter Nokia shows major decline in operating and financial performance.

Total sales in the IV quarter amounted to EUR 12,665 billion This is 19,5% lower than during the same period of last year. Department of devices and services reported of revenue of 8141 billion, which is 26.9% less than in the IV quarter of 2007. The results of the last three months of 2008 on this parameter have been even worse than the third - revenue declined by 5.4%. Operating profit for the quarterly IV (1239 billion) had fallen by 53% compared with last years quarter IV. For the unit of devices this figure is even worse - the reduction amounted to 61,3%. Operating profit declined compared to III quarter - to 29.4% for the whole company. This trend is unusual - in the quiet years IV quarter was much more successful because of the pre-sales. During the IV quarter Nokia has shipped 113.1 million phones - a 15% lower than last year, and 4% less than in the III quarter of 2008. The average price of phones decreased and amounted to EUR71 - in III quarter, it was equal to EUR72. In doing so, compared with last year, the demand for phones is slowing in all regions. Overall, the company completed in 2008 with a relatively small decline in performance - affects the fact that the crisis broke out in full force during the second half. Last years sales amounted to EUR 50,722 billion (at 0.8% lower than the previous year), operating profit - EUR 7,033 billion (at 8.6% less than in 2007). Nokia.com

Nokia quit CDMA-GSM dual-mode market in China


Updated:2006/11/7 11:34

Tags:Nokia | CDMA | GSM | Bridge Nokia, the world''s top handset maker, has no plans to enter the mobile phone market in China, a company executive said.

CDMA-GSM dual-mode

"In our (product) development roadmap, there is no such plan (for entering the dual-mode market)," said Larry Paulson, vice-president of product marketing at Nokia''s CDMA business unit, in an interview with China Daily. "We are studying the market. But right now we are ready to invest in research and development (R&D) activities (related to CDMA-GSM dual-mode phones)." The remarks come at a time when China Unicom, the country''s No 2 cellular operator, is making a big push into the CDMA-GSM dual-mode market. GSM and CDMA are the two major 2G (second generation) mobile phone standards. Both provide most of the same services, but because of technological differences the phones are incompatible with the other type of network inconvenient for those wanting to use roaming services overseas. Unicom, one of the few operators in the world that run networks based on both standards, has been trying to bridge the technological differences. Unicom and US wireless firm Qualcomm have developed CDMA-GSM dual-mode phones that allow users to switch between GSM and CDMA networks. And Unicom also offers GSM users high-speed CDMA-based data services. Earlier this month, Unicom launched seven new dual-mode handsets customized by six manufacturers including Samsung and China''s ZTE Corp. For the first time, the new phones enable simultaneous standby of the two telephone numbers based on CDMA and GSM, which is expected to give Unicom''s dual-mode handset business a boost. But Paulson indicated that the dual-mode phone market will remain a niche as "utilization of the dual-mode phones is much for Chinese requirements." Nokia''s support is becoming crucial to China''s CDMA market. The Finnish firm was a latecomer to the market. It obtained a licence to make and sell CDMA phones in China in June 2003. As Qualcomm provides the vast majority of CDMA chipsets sold globally, Unicom has been counting on Nokia''s entry to drive down the prices of CDMA handsets. Nokia partnered with Texas Instruments and STMicroelectronics to develop CDMA chipsets. Nokia announced it would form a CDMA handset joint venture with Japan''s Sanyo in February as part of its plans to spin off the underperforming CDMA handset business. That has been a big blow for Unicom, the world''s largest CDMA operator. But Nokia scrapped the plan for the joint venture in June. Paulson said that''s because the CDMA market is showing signs of improvement, especially in North America and Latin America.

"We need to alter the direction. We will continue to serve the CDMA market by increasing investment," Paulson said. Nokia''s CDMA business has improved in recent months. Its total handset business has been "surprisingly strong" in the latest fiscal quarter. Yet, the average selling price (ASP) of GSM handsets, which form the majority of Nokia''s mobile phone business, has decreased. But the ASP of CDMA phones has continually grown, noted Paulson, adding Nokia will seek a partnership with Unicom and expand their portfolio to better tap China''s CDMA market. "In the CDMA space, we will forge partnerships with third parties and utilize our design and technological heritage and brands in the GSM market," he said. Nokia is now the second largest vendor of CDMA phones in China. According to Beijing-based research house Analysys International, 20.51 million GSM handsets were sold in China in the second quarter, down 2.01 per cent compared to the previous quarter. CDMA handset sales hit 1.57 million, up 7.44 per cent.

Nordic network pioneers international mobile calling A new era for mobile phones began in 1981, with the launch of the Nordic Mobile Telephone (NMT) service. Initially spanning several Nordic countries, the service was the worlds first international cellular network. It was also the first to allow international roaming, and caught on fast both inside and outside Europe. Mobile explosion With the introduction of the NMT standard, the mobile phone industry began to expand rapidly. Nokia soon introduced the first car phones to the network. The Mobira 450 car phone came in 1982, followed by the portable in 1986. By this time the company was also providing base stations and switches for NMT network operators. Did you know? As Nokias telecommunications business took off, its cable and rubber businesses were still going strong. One of the great successes of the early 1970s was the Kontio a rubber boot that was available in different colors and proved a big hit with all age groups.

Mobile phones go handheld in 1987 The original mobile phones were heavy, bulky and usually permanently installed in cars. But 1987 saw a breakthrough: Nokia launched the Mobira Cityman, the first handheld mobile phone for NMT networks and a model that was to become a classic. Seal of approval Nokias mobile phones got a big publicity boost in 1987, when Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev was pictured using a Cityman to make a call from Helsinki to his communications minister in Moscow. This led to the phones affectionate nickname of the "Gorba". Vital statistics The Mobira Cityman 900 weighed 800 grams and had a price tag of 24,000 Finnish Marks (approximately EUR 4,560).

Nokia is a prime mover in digital standards On July 1, 1991, Finnish Prime Minister Harri Holkeri made the worlds first GSM call, using Nokia equipment. It was an appropriate choice. From the start, Nokia was one of the key developers of GSM technology. Its expertise in the new standard, coupled with

the deregulation of European telecommunications markets in the 1980s and 1990s, was to be the cornerstone of its international success. What is GSM? The Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) was adopted in 1987 as the European standard for digital mobile technology. This second generation mobile technology could carry data as well as voice traffic. GSMs high-quality voice calls, easy international roaming and support for new services like text messaging (SMS) laid the foundations for a worldwide boom in mobile phone use. Nokia was in the vanguard of GSMs development, delivering its first GSM network to the Finnish company Radiolinja in 1989. Nokia launched its first digital handheld GSM phone, the Nokia 1011, in 1992. By the end of the 1990s, Nokia had supplied GSM systems to more than 90 operators all over the world. Did you know? Nokia was the first manufacturer to make a series of handheld portable phones for all major digital standards, including TDMA, PCN and Japan Digital, as well as GSM.
