Nokia launches new Linux based Internet Tablet product category

 

The Nokia 770 Internet Tablet enables easy broadband access to the Internet over Wi-Fi

 

New York – Today Nokia introduced its first device in the new Internet Tablet category, the Nokia 770 Internet Tablet, at the LinuxWorld Summit in New York. The Nokia 770 Internet Tablet is a dedicated device optimized for convenient Internet browsing and email communications in a sleek pocketsize format. The Nokia 770 Internet Tablet features an impressive high-resolution (800x480) widescreen display with zoom and on-screen keyboard, ideal for viewing online content over Wi-Fi. Aside from Wi-Fi, the device can also connect to the Internet utilizing Bluetooth wireless technology via a compatible mobile phone.

 

“We are very excited to introduce our first Nokia Internet Tablet device to the market. With the Nokia 770 Internet Tablet consumers can access broadband Internet services away from their desktop, for example in the backyard or at a café within a Wi-Fi hotspot”, says Janne Jormalainen, Vice President of Convergence Products, Multimedia, Nokia.

 

The device runs on Linux based Nokia Internet Tablet 2005 software edition which includes widely deployed desktop Linux and Open Source technologies. The maemo development platform (www.maemo.org) will provide Open Source developers and innovation houses with the tools and opportunities to collaborate with Nokia on future devices and OS releases in the Internet Tablet category.

 

“Linux is a logical choice for the Nokia 770 Internet Tablet as Linux and the Open Source development platform provide us with fast and efficient solutions to build products for this new, Nokia product category. This is the first step in creating an Open Source product for broadband and Internet services. We will be launching regularly updates of the software. The next software release planned for the first half of next year will support more presence based functionalities such as VoIP and Instant Messaging”, continues Janne Jormalainen.

 

Additional highlighted applications of the Nokia 770 Internet Tablet with the 2005 software include an Internet Radio, RSS News reader, Image viewer and Media players for selected types of media. The Nokia 770 Internet Tablet is planned to start shipping in the third quarter of 2005 in selected countries in the Americas and Europe.

Nokia to support Wataniya on the way ‘beyond 3G’

 

Espoo, Finland - Kuwaiti mobile operator Wataniya Telecom and Nokia have signed an agreement for the implementation of advanced technologies that will enhance Wataniya’s network and take the operator ‘beyond 3G’. The agreement was signed on May 29 in the presence of Finnish Prime Minister Matti Vanhanen during his state visit to Kuwait.

 

Nokia supplies to Wataniya a wide variety of products from its portfolio. Included in the deal is for example the Nokia High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) solution, a software upgrade to the WCDMA network with which data speeds will go up to 1-2 Mbps in the first phase. Nokia’s end-to-end offering will enable Wataniya to provide advanced mobile services such as Push to Talk, video calls and video sharing, to subscribers in Kuwait. Nokia will also modernize Wataniya’s GSM network in order to create an EDGE layer that will support advanced services even outside 3G coverage.

 

“Our agreement with Nokia gives us the opportunity to provide the most advanced, capable and reliable network services in the Middle East region, if not world wide. The advanced technologies provided by Nokia will enable us to provide a new, compelling category of services to our customers,” said Harri Koponen, General Manager & CEO, Wataniya Telecom.

 

“Through our relationship with Nokia, we are providing our customers with better connectivity and flexibility for the future. Moving forward, we will listen to our customers’ needs and act accordingly in cooperation with Nokia,” said Niklas Sonkin, Chief Strategy Officer and Business-to-Business Director, Wataniya Telecom.

 

“Nokia is committed to the Middle East region and is proud to support Wataniya in their aspirations to offer advanced content services and applications to their customers,” said Dr. Walid Moneimne, Senior Vice President, EMEA Region, Networks, Nokia.

Nokia to start manufacturing of Base Station Controllers in India

 

Espoo, Finland - Nokia today announced that it will establish a high-end Base Station Controller manufacturing unit in Chennai, India. The new unit will further emphasize Nokia’s end-to-end position and strength both globally and in India, as well as the company’s end-to-end commitment to India.

 

“Nokia is confident of India’s skilled labor force’s ability to handle the manufacturing of high-end network infrastructure elements, such as Base Station Controllers. Chennai was a natural choice for us as we are already establishing a production facility there,” said Simon Beresford-Wylie, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Networks, Nokia.

 

In April, Nokia announced its plans to set up a mobile device production facility in Chennai. Base Station Controller production will begin at the same time with terminal production, during the first half of 2006. With this, Nokia becomes the only telecom vendor in India to manufacture both network infrastructure and terminals in the country.

 

The announcement comes in the wake of fast expansion of networks in the Indian market based on aggressive plans of all the GSM service providers over the next few years. In India, Nokia Networks is a leading GSM infrastructure equipment supplier and supplies to all of the top five GSM operators in the country.

 

“India is already amongst the top 5 telecom markets in the world and is set to reach the third position in the next few years. In order to sustain this growth, rapid expansion of mobile networks will be essential. Nokia’s investment in local Base Station Controller manufacturing aims to meet this requirement and reiterates its long standing commitment to India,” said Beresford-Wylie. He added, “Base Station Controller manufacturing is high end and complex and will allow us to tap into the talented engineering pool in India, in addition to creating additional employment.”

 

Nokia’s operations in India now include three Research and Development facilities and an upcoming manufacturing facility in Chennai that will produce both terminals and GSM infrastructure equipment. The end-to-end operations strengthen Nokia’s complete solution offering and uniquely position it to work with Indian operators to reduce time to market for both network equipment and terminals and achieve the Government’s target of 200 million mobile subscribers by 2008.
