Nokia Telecommunications Opens New Base Station Factory in UK
April 24, 1996
Nokia Telecommunications, the infrastructure part of the Finnish Nokia Group, has opened its new factory in Camberley, England. Digital GSM and DCS 1800 base stations manufactured from the Camberley site will be delivered to meet the growing telecommunications market for cellular communications throughout Europe and Asia-Pacific.
The new 17,000 square meter purpose built site relocates both earlier production and R&D facilities. Part of Nokia's approach involves the establishment of competence centres, where overlapping technologies can be juxtaposed and benefit from economies of scale and concentration of effort. Camberley is the chosen site for Nokia's cellular competence centre, for both Nokia Telecommunications and its sister company, Nokia Mobile Phones.
Nokia is a Finland-based telecommunications group with net sales of USD 8.4 billion in 1995 and approximately 34,000 employees worldwide. It is Europe's largest and the world's second largest manufacturer of mobile phones. Nokia is one of the world's leading suppliers of cellular systems and equipment based on NMT and GSM standards and is one of the few companies in the world with the capacity to supply complete GSM and DCS cellular systems. To date, Nokia GSM/DCS technology has been supplied or ordered by 43 operators in 28 countries.
Nokia Telecommunications supplies complete telecommunications systems. It develops and manufactures cellular phone networks and systems for fixed networks. Nokia is a leading cellular infrastructure supplier in the UK as well as a leading transmission supplier, and has been working with the UK CATV telephony industry since 1989.
