History

The company was created as the result of a joint venture between Siemens Communications division (minus its Enterprise business unit) and Nokia's Network Business Group. The formation of the company was publicly announced on 19 June 2006.[4] Nokia Siemens Networks was officially launched at the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona in February 2007.[5] Nokia Siemens Networks then began full operations on 1 April 2007[6] and has its headquarters in Espoo, Greater Helsinki, Finland. According to Siemens, Siemens only retain a non-controlling financial interest in NSN, with the day-to-day operations residing with Nokia.[7]

In January 2008 Nokia Siemens Networks acquired Israeli company Atrica, a company that builds carrier-class Ethernet transport systems for metro networks. The official release did not disclose terms, however they are thought to be in the region of $100 million.[8][9] In February 2008 Nokia Siemens Networks acquired Apertio, a Bristol UK-based mobile network customer management tools provider, for €140 million. With this acquisition Nokia Siemens Networks gained customers in the subscriber management area including Orange, T-Mobile, O2, Vodafone and Hutchison 3G.[10][11][12] On 19 July 2010, Nokia Siemens Networks announced it would acquire the wireless-network equipment division of Motorola.[13] The acquisition was completed on 29 April 2011 for US $975 million in cash. As part of the transaction approximately 6,900 employees transferred to Nokia Siemens Networks.

On 23 November 2011, Nokia Siemens announced that it planned to eliminate 17,000 jobs by the end of 2013 to enable Nokia Siemens to refocus on mobile broadband equipment, the fastest-growing segment of the market. The reductions will slash the company’s work force by 23 percent from its current level of 74,000. The cuts follow Nokia Siemens's $1.2 billion purchase of Motorola's mobile network equipment business in July 2010, which added staff; it would help the company trim annual operating expenses by $1.35 billion by the end of 2013.[14][15]

Operations

Nokia Siemens Networks operates in more than 150 countries worldwide and has about 73,000 employees including those joining from Motorola Net.[16] Most of those employees work in one of the six central hubs around the world, including: Espoo in Finland, Munich in Germany, Wrocław in Poland, Chennai and Bangalore in India, Guangdong in China and Lisbon in Portugal. Its major manufacturing sites are in Chennai in India, China, Oulu in Finland,[citation needed] and in Berlin, Germany.[17]

About a quarter of the world's population are connected everyday using NSN infrastructure.[16] The customer base of Nokia Siemens Networks includes 1,400 customers in over 150 countries (including more than 600 operator customers). Combined 2010 revenues exceed € 12.7 billion, making the company one of the largest telecommunication equipment makers in the world.[18]

Rajeev Suri is the current Chief Executive Officer of Nokia Siemens Networks. In this position he succeeds Simon Beresford-Wylie, who stepped down (1 October 2009) after leading the company's integration.[19] Nokia Siemens Networks' Chief Financial Officer (CFO) is Samih Elhage.[20] Prior to this, in March 2012, Samih Elhage was appointed Chief Operating Officer, reporting to Rajeev Suri.[21] With effect from February 2013, the post of COO was discontinued. The Chairman of the board of directors is now Jesper Ovesen, previous chairman was Nokia's former CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, vice chairman is Rudi Lamprecht (Executive Advisor to the CEO of Siemens AG).,[22][23].

Iran monitoring controversy

In 2008 Nokia Siemens Networks provided Iran's monopoly telecom company TCI with technology that allowed it to monitor the phone calls of its customers.[25]

News reports claimed that the company had provided internet censorship capabilities to the Iranian government.[26] In June 2009 Nokia Siemens Networks stated that, whilst they had provided lawful interception capable equipment or services to Iran, capable of monitoring local voice calls, they had not provided equipment or services that provided deep packet inspection capabilities, speech recognition, Internet or network monitoring or web censorship capabilities.[27]

In July 2009, Iranians sympathetic to the 2009–2010 Iranian election protests began to boycott Nokia products in Iran.[28]

Former Nokia executive Chip Pitts has said that issues are raised from the supply of a voice monitoring capability to Iran by Nokia Siemens Networks.[when?][citation needed] In September 2010 Nokia-Siemens stated that it halted work relating to call monitoring in Iran in 2009, having divested its call monitoring business in the same year. It also had limited its activities in Iran and stated that it was "... aware of credible reports that the Iranian authorities use communications technology to suppress that is inconsistent with that government's human rights obligations".[29]
