Company Perspectives

By connecting people, we help fulfill a fundamental human need for social connections and
contact. Nokia builds bridges between people--both when they are far apart and face-to-face--
and also bridges the gap between people and the information they need.

History of Nokia Corporation

Nokia Corporation is the world's largest manufacturer of mobile phones, serving customers in
130 countries. Nokia is divided into four business groups: Mobile Phones, Multimedia,
Enterprise Solutions, and Networks. The Mobile Phones group markets wireless voice and data
products in consumer and corporate markets. The Multimedia segment sells mobile gaming
devices, home satellite systems, and cable television set-top boxes. The Enterprise Solutions
group develops wireless systems for use in the corporate sector. Wireless switching and
transmission equipment is sold through the company's Networks division. Nokia operates 15
manufacturing facilities in nine countries and maintains research and development facilities in
12 countries.

Past Innovative Product of NOKIA

The electronics section of the cable division was founded in 1960 and the production of its first
electronic devices began in 1962: a pulse analyzer designed for use in nuclear power plants. In
the 1967 fusion, that section was separated into its own division, and began manufacturing
telecommunications equipment. A key CEO and subsequent chairman of the board was
vuorineuvos Björn "Nalle" Westerlund (1912–2009), who founded the electronics department
and let it run at a loss for 15 years. In the late 1960s and early 1970s Wester Lund encouraged
researchers to work on their own projects, which one top executive directly linked to the
company's later expertise in mobile communications technologies.

Present Innovative Product of NOKIA
The company decided to exit consumer electronics in the 1990s and focused solely on the
fastest growing segments in telecommunications. Nokian Tyres, manufacturer of tires, split
from Nokia Corporation in 1988 and two years later Nokian Footwear, manufacturer of rubber
boots, was founded. In 1989, Nokia also sold the original paper business; currently this
company (Nokian Paperi) is owned by SCA. During the rest of the 1990s, Nokia divested itself of
all other businesses.

Nokia Productions was the first mobile movie-making project which was directed by Spike Lee.
Work began in April 2008, and the movie premiered in October 2008.

In 2009, the company reentered the personal computing market, announcing a high-end
Windows-based netbook called the Nokia Booklet 3G. The company also entered the
smartphone market

Symbian OS

Symbian was Nokia's main smartphone operating system until 2011. Symbian was popular
among the smartphone market during the 2000s.

Some popular Symbian-powered devices include the Nokia 7650, the first S60 smartphone;
Nokia N-Gage the first game-centric smartphone; Nokia 6600, the first Symbian smartphone to
sold over a million unit with a soap-like design; Nokia 7610, the first Nokia with a megapixel
camera; Nokia 6630 the first 3G Nokia smartphone; Nokia N90, the first camera-centric phone;
keyboard and premium build; Nokia 5800 XpressMusic the first full-touch smartphone; Nokia
N97 with full-touchscreen and a side-sliding QWERTY keyboard; Nokia X6 the first capacitive
touchscreen and the Nokia N8 with the newer Symbian^3 and 12 megapixel camera.

Linux devices : Nokia N9 running MeeGo Harmattan

Nokia's first Linux devices were the Nokia Internet tablets and the Nokia N900, which ran
Debian-based Maemo. The Maemo project later merged with Intel's Moblin to create MeeGo.
The Nokia N9 was released before the project was abandoned in favor of Windows Phone.

The Nokia X family of devices running Android was Nokia's final sally in Linux-based
smartphones. In an employee memo that surfaced in February 2011, Elop infamously described
Nokia as being on a "burning platform", blaming the "war of ecosystems" between iOS and
Android as part of Nokia's overall struggle, and asserting that the company needed to make
major changes to its operation
