Espoo, Finland – Nokia today announced that it has been rated “Leader” in managed services by the independent industry analyst firm GlobalData. The report finds that Nokia sets itself apart from the market with its network design and optimization capabilities required for 5G and in helping customers bring new services to market quickly.
In its annual assessment of managed services providers, GlobalData has ranked Nokia “Leader” for the second consecutive year, based on the company’s scale and reach, expertise, network design and optimization skills, service agility and commercial model.
The report highlights Nokia's strong network planning and deployment capabilities required for 5G’s network densification, new spectrum bands, and stricter performance parameters.
The report uniquely positions Nokia as leader in service agility, the ability to help its customers bringing more services to market, more rapidly. Through its extensive portfolio, Nokia enables broader service ecosystems that allows carriers to offer for example managed IoT and security solutions with faster time to market and lower risks and costs.
