Nokia describes ECE as a recognized industry leader in private wireless, serving nearly 900 customers across industries including manufacturing, mining, logistics, airports, ports and power generation worldwide. Its portfolio includes industrial devices, on-premises operational technology (OT) edge and micro-edge solutions, as well as software applications that enable industrial AI-powered use cases. According to the company, ECE's digitalization platform helps organizations improve operational performance, increase automation, and enhance sustainability and worker safety by connecting assets and processing OT data on premises for greater data security and sovereignty. Nokia said the deal supports its strategy to focus capital where the company can differentiate and create long-term value, and that as a standalone business under AURELIUS's ownership, ECE is expected to benefit from greater independence and a dedicated strategic focus. "This planned transaction supports Nokia's strategy to sharpen its portfolio and direct capital and resources to the areas where it can create the greatest long-term value," said Konstanty Owczarek, Chief Corporate Development Officer at Nokia. "It also provides ECE with a strong foundation for its next growth phase as a standalone business. Our priority throughout the transition will be continued growth of the business and continuity for existing customers and employees." Fabian Steger, Managing Director of AURELIUS Fund IV and V, said: "ECE is a strong business with differentiated technology, a talented team, a global footprint and an established customer base that includes many Fortune 500 enterprises across various industries. We see significant opportunities for ECE to build on its leading position in private 5G and industrial edge as a standalone business, expand its portfolio into emerging areas such as AI-powered industrial automation, and help customers accelerate the digitalization and automation of their operations." Portfolio reorganization and discontinued operations. The ECE divestiture follows a reorganization Nokia implemented at the start of 2026. Beginning January 1, 2026, Nokia moved several units it did not see as core to its future strategy into a dedicated operating segment called Portfolio Businesses while it assessed the best value-creating opportunity for them. The units moved were Fixed Wireless Access CPE (FWA CPE) and Site Implementation and Outside Plant, both previously in Fixed Networks within Network Infrastructure; Enterprise Campus Edge, previously in Cloud and Network Services; and Microwave Radio, previously in Mobile Networks. During the second quarter of 2026, Nokia classified the FWA CPE and Enterprise Campus Edge businesses as discontinued operations. The classification followed the agreement Nokia reached to sell its FWA CPE business to Inseego and its assessment that it was highly probable it would reach an agreement to sell Enterprise Campus Edge. In its report for the second quarter and first half of 2026, filed on Form 6-K dated July 23, 2026, Nokia reported a loss from discontinued operations of EUR 22 million in the second quarter, compared with a loss of EUR 3 million in the same period of 2025. For the first half of 2026, the reported loss from discontinued operations was EUR 39 million, compared with EUR 23 million a year earlier. At June 30, 2026, the company reported assets held for sale of EUR 48 million and liabilities associated with assets held for sale of EUR 31 million. Nokia stated that had the two businesses not been treated as discontinued operations in the second quarter of 2026, its net sales would have been EUR 66 million higher and comparable operating profit would have been EUR 13 million lower. The presentation change also led to a EUR 0.1 billion technical revision to Nokia's full-year 2026 comparable operating profit outlook, which the company now gives as a range of EUR 2.1 billion to EUR 2.6 billion, revised from EUR 2.0 billion to EUR 2.5 billion. Nokia said its operational outlook for the year is unchanged. Alongside the quarterly report, Nokia published recast comparative financial information on July 23, 2026, reflecting the discontinued-operations presentation for Nokia Group and its reportable segments. The recast figures show the remaining Portfolio Businesses segment, after the reclassification, with net sales of EUR 94 million and an operating result of EUR 0 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared with net sales of EUR 89 million and an operating loss of EUR 11 million in the second quarter of 2025.

MEO and Nokia launch joint program to bring AI to telecommunications networks. The partnership between MEO and Nokia aims to test in real networks how artificial intelligence and automation can make infrastructure more adaptable and capable of operating with less human intervention. National operator MEO and Finnish Nokia announced that they will work together on an innovation program to introduce artificial intelligence and automation into real telecommunications networks. The goal is for infrastructure to have an increasingly greater capacity to decide and act on its own, based on AI resources integrated from its design. The joint collaboration program will study how AI can be used at all stages of a network's life, from its design, through operation, monitoring, and optimization. The two companies intend to develop and test concrete use cases in which the network identifies changes in its operation, predicts needs, and responds more quickly and efficiently than is currently the case. The initiative brings together MEO's operational experience, its networks, and the knowledge the operator has been building in AI with the technological experience of the Finnish manufacturer. It thus fits into MEO's artificial intelligence and innovation strategy, as well as its long-term vision for increasingly intelligent, resilient, and autonomous infrastructures. For José Pedro Nascimento, chief technology officer (CTO) of MEO, "Artificial intelligence is transforming the way communications networks are designed, operated, and experienced." The official considers that the program allows the operator "to explore new ways of building smarter, more resilient, and more efficient infrastructures," with more value for customers and a contribution to Portugal's position in the digital economy. On Nokia's side, John Harrington, senior vice president and director for Europe, states that the collaboration shows how AI "can move from the experimental phase to a concrete impact on communications networks." According to the official, working with real cases brings "tangible benefits for network performance and customer experience."

Nokia launches flexible 50G/25G/10GPON solution to accelerate AI-ready fibre broadband. Oct 12, 2026 * Nokia is the first vendor with a 16-port line card solution that supports GPON, 10G, 25G and 50G PON on every port, enabling operators to evolve their networks with greater flexibility and lower risk. * Built on Nokia's Quillion chipset and multi-PON optical modules, the high-density line card unlocks mass-market deployment of fiber access speeds up to 50Gbps. * Nokia's industry-first multi-PON solution enables instant, high-performance, quantum-safe connectivity to meet the demands of the AI era, with general availability planned for 2027. Nokia today announced a new 50G/25G/10G/GPON line card that gives operators the flexibility to evolve their fiber network at their own pace and be ready for the demands of the AI era. As AI transforms how consumers, businesses and industries use networks, richer content, greater cloud interaction and growing upstream traffic are increasing requirements for capacity, low latency, security and reliability. The solution enables operators to adapt their existing fiber networks as these demands grow. Earlier line cards could limit operators to a narrower set of PON technologies, requiring them to commit capacity in advance or add hardware as market needs changed. Nokia's new multi-PON line card supports multiple generations on every port, allowing operators to introduce higher speeds when and where demand develops. Built on Nokia's in-house Quillion chip and optical PON modules, the new solution supports GPON, 10G, 25G and 50G PON on every port, together with a variety of multi-PON optical modules. This now allows operators to deploy the technology, or combination of technologies, in a flexible way that's best suited to each market, service or business case. Operators can add or change PON generations on the same port and fiber as demand evolves. The future of broadband is becoming harder to predict. AI is reshaping traffic patterns and creating new expectations for bandwidth, latency, security and reliability. At the same time, operators must make investments in next generation PON that will serve them for years to come. With our new line card, operators do not have to bet everything on a single path. They can deploy the PON technology their market needs now; add additional technologies on the same port and same fiber as the need arises; and easily mix and match PON generations to capture multiple revenue streams Maryam Chaudry, SVP & GM, Fixed Networks, Nokia 50G PON Flexible Line Card As operators prepare their networks for AI-driven applications and higher-speed broadband services, flexibility is becoming just as important as performance. Nokia's ability to support multiple PON generations on every port gives operators a practical, lower-risk path to evolve their fiber networks as demand develops. Jeff Heynen, Vice President, Broadband Access and Home Networking at Dell'Oro Group Powered by Nokia's Quillion chipset and multi-PON optical modules, the line card provides a flexible evolution path from GPON/10G to 25G and 50G PON. For example, operators can deploy 10G + 25G PON today and add 50G PON when demand accelerates. Alternatively, those planning for 10G + 50G PON can easily add 25G PON if market needs develop differently. The solution also enhances network performance, security and resilience: * Up to 4x lower upstream latency for more responsive, data-intensive applications. * Quantum-safe encryption and authentication to safeguard network and user data against emerging threats. * End-to-end resilience without a single point of failure for dependable delivery of mission-critical connectivity services.
