Nokia has signed a multi-year, multi-billion-dollar extension agreement with Bharti Airtel to deploy 4G and 5G equipment across Indian cities, the telecom major informed the exchanges on Wednesday.
The companies will explore 5G use cases for enterprises and compelling solutions for data centres.
For the first time in 60 years, Finnish tech multinational Nokia has changed its logo as it focuses on faster growth and signals a new strategy shift.
At the recently held 5G spectrum auction for 5G services by the Department of Telecom, Airtel acquired 19867.8 MHZ range in 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 2100 MHz, 3300 MHz, and 26 GHz frequencies.
Out of three handsets, Nokia 5710 Xpress Audio looks the most promising phone, as it also offers built-in wireless earbuds. It has a sliding panel attached to its rear side, which houses wireless earbuds.
Additionally, the 0.8 MP QVGA rear camera makes it the lowest cost 4G Nokia phone with a camera.
Smartphone brands OPPO and Nokia had signed a multi-year licensing agreement back in 2018, and it appears that the contract is over, the report said.
Nokia claims to have invested over Rs 600 crore since 2008 to develop the facility.
As per the three-year deal, the deployment of 4G and 5G-ready network started in June and will cover hundreds of sites.
Reimagining the original Nokia ‘5310 Xpress Music' which was launched in 2007, the ‘Nokia 5310' brings with it an MP3 player and FM radio (which can be played wired or wireless), combined with powerful dual front-facing speakers.
