Nokia Telecommunications’ Research & Development facility will be used for R&D work on fixed network systems. The R&D personnel occupying the new premises will move from Oulu Technopolis and Haukipudas.
“The way we have chosen to expand allows us to increase co-operation between different R&D units, which are at present located in various places”, explains Kimmo Väänänen, Head of R&D, Nokia Telecommunications, Fixed Switching. “At the same time this solution gives us the possibility to flexibly expand our operations.”

These new premises will enable the Oulu R&D unit to continue its commitment to designing mobile phones for the future”, says Jaakko Hulkko, Vice President, R&D, Nokia Mobile Phones.
