Nokia signs network deal with Indian Vodafone

Telecommunications giant Nokia has been awarded a three-year deal by Vodafone Idea Limited (VIL) to deploy 4G and 5G equipment in India, said the company in a press release on Saturday.

The agreement includes the modernization and expansion of VIL’s 4G network of which Nokia is already a major supplier.

The deployment will deliver premium connectivity to 200 million VIL customers.

Nokia will increase its market share and replace the incumbent vendor in Chennai and Andhra Pradesh, making it the largest supplier covering circles that generate more that 50% of VIL's revenue. Deployment will begin immediately.

The deal will see Nokia deploy equipment from its comprehensive, industry-leading 5G AirScale portfolio, powered by its energy-efficient ReefShark System-on-Chip technology.

“We are committed to providing a best-in-class 4G and 5G experience to our customers and this new deal with Nokia, who has been our partner since the beginning, will help us to deliver that. 5G will bring seamless high-speed connectivity and increased capacity supporting citizens and enterprises alike,” said Akshaya Moondra, CEO of Vodafone Idea Limited.

“Nokia is proud to be Vodafone Idea’s partner in the next stage of its network evolution. This is a continuation of our long-term partnership that has lasted for over three decades and highlights their trust in our technology portfolio,” said Tommi Uitto, President of Mobile Networks of Nokia.
