Nokia has launched Nokia Federal Solutions, a new division focused on delivering secure and innovative solutions to U.S. federal agencies.
NFS will use Nokia’s global expertise and top technology, supported by Nokia Bell Labs, to meet the diverse needs of U.S. government agencies, the company said.
“The U.S. government faces complex communications challenges in today’s interconnected world,” said Mike Loomis, president of Nokia Federal Solutions. “With Nokia Federal Solutions, we are strengthening our commitment to support the U.S. Government by investing in a dedicated entity to provide the technology, expertise, and local presence needed to help U.S. federal agencies achieve their mission goals. We are investing to become the U.S. Government’s trusted partner for 5G mission-ready solutions.”
NFS has assembled a team skilled in commercial communications technology and well-versed in U.S. government needs. NFS’ capabilities are enhanced by its recent acquisition of Fenix Group, Inc., a provider of secure tactical private wireless solutions for defense.
“The launch of Nokia Federal Solutions is an important step in the development of our defense business and highlights our ongoing commitment to the U.S market,” said Tommi Uitto, president of mobile networks at Nokia. “I look forward to seeing our high-performance and reliable communications solutions support the U.S government and U.S federal agencies to help them achieve their goals.”
NFS’ focus will be to create solutions that meet the unique requirements of U.S. federal agencies using Nokia’s technology and product portfolio including IP routing, optical networking, microwave, 5G, private wireless and tactical private wireless.
