Nokia breaks 2000 patents of 5G

 Nokia declared to the European Telecommunication Standards Institute (ETSI) that Nokia has exceeded 2000 patents for Standard Essential Patent on 5G communications. Nokia has continued to invest in developing 5G communications-related patents at the company level, and said they’re working to establish 5G standardization and implement 5G networks. Currently, R&D is under way to develop Release16, the next generation standard.

 Nokia was a strong player of mobile phone

In fact, Nokia was a handset maker that took the top share in the feature phone market before smartphones appeared. At the time, it was very popular in the world market due to its excellent durability and quality, and was one of the leading companies to feed Finland. However, with the advent of the smartphone era, Nokia was unable to keep up with the times and was eroded from the mobile phone market.

 Transform into a network company

Nokia, which had been pushed out of the market, seemed to retreat as it was, but tried to turn it into a network company by abandoning cell phone manufacturing. Since then, the company has invested heavily in network communication-related patents. Currently, the company receives patent royalties from various companies based on patents, and many companies including Korea use Nokia's network equipment.

Leap once again

Behind the trends of the times, Nokia succeeded in transforming itself through a drastic constitution improvement and is trying to make another leap. Recently, ultra-low-priced feature phone products have been launched to target the niche feature phone market among flooding smartphones. I wonder if Nokia, ready to jump to revive the glory of the past, will fly once again.
