Nokia and T-Mobile comment on their partnership

November 19, 2024

Nokia statement: “Nokia is proud to be T-Mobile’s long-standing partner in Radio Access Networks (RAN). We are confident in our industry-leading portfolio which has helped us grow market share with many of our existing RAN customers as well as to win completely new ones. We continue to support our global customer base with best-in-class field performance, technology, software and services. 

In response to some recent analyst claims, Nokia states that these comments mainly relate to its first generation 5G products designed in 2018. Since then, strong investment in R&D, System on Chip technology and new product launches have positioned Nokia as one of the market leaders globally. This is visible in the customer contracts we have recently won, increasing our market share in many regions including India, Japan, Brazil, New Zealand and Vietnam.”

T-Mobile statement: “T-Mobile works with both Nokia and Ericsson on our RAN, who have helped us over the years build the largest and fastest 5G network in the nation. We continue to work with them on ensuring our customers have the best mobile network experience. We have made no decision to end our working relationship with Nokia, and any reports in the media implying this are untrue."
