Nokia and GSM Technology

Nokia and GSM TechnologyNokia is currently the world’s leading mobile phone manufacturer; they are responsible for a solid chunk of Finland’s GNP (over 1%) and currently play a very important role in the mobile phone industry. Nokia was one of the companies to help develop GSM technology, and they have contributed greatly to the development of CDMA and computer technology. Also, while many may not know it, Fujitsu’s original facilities were purchased from Nokia’s IT and computer department. The now-defunct MikroMikko series is still being produced by Fujitsu under the ErgoPro label.

While the world recognizes Nokia for its role in the mobile phone industry as a manufacturer, the Finnish company is also a major player in various industries in the realm of telecommunications.
