Which Nokia? apparently there are three;
1. Nokia Espoo
2. Microsoft Nokia
3. HMD Nokia
4- Pak Nokia :p
Seems you are not well informed….
First Jazz did that with Ericsson. Now Telenor following same path with Nokia. I fear this would not be good / in favour of the employees being transferred. I hope they are going to enjoy equivalent employee perks and benefits with Ericsson and Nokia.
Nice move. Shukar hai chinese ko nahin becha, warna zong ki tarha 3rd class service hojati.
European quality always the best
zong isn’t third class!
Zong the brand of China Mobile is the worlds largest mobile operator. Zong/China Mobile hardware/software/networks comes from ZTE which has the largest number of patents registered last year in telecom., networks worldwide. Hence the credibility of the operator by the hardware/software, and network equipment it deploys. It is the customer to judge.
Too expensive Europeans. Chinese are cheapest.
Guess where and what is ETSI? ETSI is European Telecom., Standardisation Institution being followed worldwide. Even companies as Huawei, ZTE, China Mobile follow the standards. Its a non commercial entity, an institution.
NSN (Nokia Siemens Network) the merged companies failed in Pakistan. If they’re coming back with adherence to ETSI that will be great, Minus Siemens. Nokia to deploy AVA engine Cognitive services for the 1st time in the region. Deployment of cognitive Analytics for customer Onsight software help TP prioritize network investments based on insights. Technology domain benefits/experience of Digital serices to adhee UN Sustainable Development Goals 2030 for enabling Disabled, Seniors, mental health patients the objectives of the United Nations SDG 2030.
It is hoped the new venture will be to the benefit of Pakistan and Telenor, whatever decision is taken by Telenor management as they’re the licensee and will take very careful move to the risks involved. Best wishes, regards
