NOKIA
Nokia's mobile phone production started in the 60s with the radiotelephones made in the electronics department, and continued later with the joint venture company Mobira.Telecommunications equipment, such as digital data transfer devices and radiotelephones, were already developed and manufactured in the Electronics group.
In 1986, Nokia's new Board of Directors divided Nokia Electronics into three industry groups: Nokia Information Systems, Mobile Phones and Nokia Telecommunications.Plans for co-operation between Nokia and Televa, a state-owned company, began in 1973. The idea was to build a comm
on domestic ISDN network for transmitting voice, data and video telephone traffic.
Initially, Nokia and Televa co-operated through their joint venture company Telefenno, after which Telenokia, a company with Nokia's majority shareholding, was established.

Finally, Televa ended up being a 100% subsidiary of Nokia. The aim was to develop Nokia into a major telecommunications and electronics company.In 1975, Nokia signed a co-operation 
agreement on radiotelephones with Salora. The areas of co-operation were defined as exports, the exchange of products on the domestic market, production and R&D. Under the agreement, Salora supplied Nokia with multi-channel car phones and portable phone racks; in return, Nokia supplied Salora with base stations, links and handset brackets. Nokia's and Salora's joint venture, Mobira Oy, was established in 1979 in the Salo, Finland.

Developing a mobile phone industry had been part of Nokia's strategy since 1974. Nokia's major telecommunications customers during 1975-75 included the Postal and Telecommunications Administration, the Helsinki Telephone Company and OKO Bank
Digital Telephone Exchange, the Predecessor of Mobile Phone NetworksNokia's telecommunications business was first expanded from cables to radiotelephones, electronic voice and data transmission equipment and, in 1976, to digital telephone exchanges.
The world's first GSM phone call was made in the Radiolinja network supplied by Nokia.
In the 1990s, Nokia delivered GSM networks to some 90 different operators around the world.
Nokia was also a partner in some consortia with other companies in the mobile phone business. Joint R&D operations did not, however, progress as smoothly as expected.
GSM technology was already in 1989 high on the company agenda.
In Nokia GSM technology development progressed from the basic knowledge acquired in the early years through the development of basic technologies to actual product development. Second-generation solutions (2G+) started to be further developed in 1993. During the next two years, the focus was on development work for mass consumer products, i.e., GSM handsets.
By the end of the millennium, Nokia had become the world leader in mobile phones.
The enhancement of the GSM standard (GSM+) started in 1993.

In 1997, the company was the first in the world to start supplying digital TETRA radio network solutions. The TETRA networks are closed networks used by rescue operators, the police and
other authorities.

Many high-profile contributors to the creation of Nokia's telecommunications business have advanced to top management positions in the company. Early on in her career, Sari Baldauf held managerial positions in the Nokia Telecommunications and Mobile Networks during the 80s and 90s. She was appointed President of the Nokia Telecommunications (now Nokia Networks) in 1998.

Antti Lagerroos moved from the post of director of Nokia's electronics business to head the Nokia Mobile Phones in 1989, only to be succeeded a year later by Jorma Ollila. Under Ollila's management, the group intensified its focus on telecommunications and invested resources in establishing the Nokia brand worldwide. Brand management has been one of the cornerstones of Nokia's success, and the motto "Connecting people" introduced in 1993 is now familiar to people all over the world.
After Jorma Ollila was appointed President and CEO of Nokia in 1992, Pekka Ala-Pietilä was appointed President of Nokia Mobile Phones.

Nokia Mobile Phones, however, started a new period of growth in 1996. Pekka Ala-Pietilä, the then head of the Group, prepared a detailed analysis of the critical situation and guided the business back on track for growth, this time a more balanced one. The change was achieved through improvements in the entire production chain and the rationalization of logistics. The result was a more efficient production and sales organization.
The Internet revolution that gained momentum in the late 90s changed the operational modes of companies. The new tool enabled more rapid and efficient operations.
At that time, Nokia created the idea of a wireless, portable office in one device (including e-mail, fax, Internet connection, word processing, calendar and phone). The idea resulted in the Nokia 9000 Communicator, which has since seen a succession of new versions.
The world markets for digital mobile phones skyrocketed during 1996-97. By 1998, Nokia had become the world's number one in mobile phones while the competitors started showing signs of slowing down. The company's aim was to have a competitive edge in products, brand and logistics.

In addition to industrial design, the communication properties of mobile phones have taken on an entirely new direction: each new Nokia model boasts multimedia features, enabling the user to add images and sounds to messages. Nokia 7650, the company's first model to feature multimedia capabilities and a camera, was announced in 2002.During its history spanning over three centuries, Nokia has become the world's largest manufacturer of mobile phones and one of the leading manufacturers of mobile, fixed and IP networks. The company comprises Nokia Mobile Phones, Nokia Networks, Nokia Ventures Organization and Nokia Research Center.
