Nokia to become first technology vendor compliant to ‘Buy America’ guidelines issued by Department of Commerce’s BEAD initiative
Manufacturing of Nokia fiber-optic broadband network electronics and optical modules will meet the proposed Buy America guidelines and help close the digital divide
“As a premier regional service provider that is looking to participate in the BEAD program, having access to high quality, innovative technology solutions that are buy America compliant is critical for us to successfully deploy and extend fiber broadband to more rural communities across the mid-west. It’s great to see Nokia investing in the U.S. and taking the necessary steps to meet the Buy America guidelines required for BEAD funding.”
