As their earnings calls showed, Nokia and Ericsson are being cautious on what they say about the Trump tariffs as the import taxes actually come into effect Both Nordic telco vendors intimated on the calls that their second quarter earnings will likely be hit by the additional cost of Chinese — and other — components they use in manufacturing “There is little certainty in what if any tariffs might directly or indirectly impact Ericsson and Nokia,” noted Recon Analytics analyst Daryl Schoolar in an email to Fierce “The Trump administration is constantly changing the scope of its tariffs.” “Both companies have moved some manufacturing to the US which will help mitigate the impact of tariffs,” Schoolar said Industry watchers should expect to see more layoffs — particularly from Nokia — whether or not the tariffs happen layoffs appear to be a nearly annual occurrence at Ericson and Nokia,” Schoolar wrote Nokia revealed plans to slash up to 14,000 jobs by 2026 in October 2023. The company expects the restructuring to save between $850 million and $1.2 billion by 2026 Nokia hasn’t said yet when it will take its next big swing at its 14,000 job restructuring target It hasn’t yet said when the next cuts will be given Nokia’s 2026 restructuring timescale “Multiple factors drive those layoffs including changes in customer demand and shifts in both companies’ solution portfolios,” Scholar noted “The impact of tariffs will have on future layoffs is difficult to say,” the analyst concluded “I don’t think either company is at the position yet that they would reduce headcount specifically due to tariffs but tariffs could encourage them to accelerate already planned layoffs.”  ';case"arrow-right-regular":return'\x3c!-- Font Awesome Pro 6.1.0 by @fontawesome -

Copyright © techoraco and its affiliated companies 2025 “The US has always had a very strong position in semiconductor research but lacked broader ecosystem development,” Hendricks explained “A concerted effort was made to not only bolster wafer and foundry capabilities but also to strengthen the entire semiconductor ecosystem.” For Nokia whose Bell Labs facility is poised to expand significantly in New Jersey the CHIPS Act represented a valuable opportunity especially around chip design and advanced silicon photonics Infinera, which Nokia completed its $2.3 billion acquisition of in March were also set to benefit through a $93 million investment to support the construction of a new fab in San Jose It was one of the deals that was rushed through to finalisation by Biden administration officials in the days leading up to Trump taking office over fear he would quash the federal program in his first few days Hendricks highlighted concerns about the sudden shift in policy “If we see a wholesale cancellation or repurposing of funds it’s difficult to see how that advances US national security.” There’s been some rumbling that the CHIPS Act might get reworked with Hendricks noting that “a good number” of CHIPS Office staff who were responsible were let go He also highlighted the contradiction between tariff-driven reshoring incentives and the practical difficulties this policy creates especially when importing essential manufacturing components “One of the justifications for tariffs is to encourage the reshoring of manufacturing which Nokia believes the US is an exceptional place We've already relocated manufacturing for the BEAD programme “We're constantly looking at ways to make new investment but at least until we're able to establish industrial base in the US for things like printed circuit boards you're going to be importing the components to do the manufacturing from places that you're hitting with tariffs and you're making it prohibitively expensive to reshore manufacturing So it's a little hard to figure out which direction we're going here.” Upon discussing the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) programme Hendricks expressed cautious optimism about recent administrative reviews Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick recently kicked off a review of BEAD in a bid to ensure that the project provides value for money and that Congress “gets the benefit of the bargain” Hendricks emphasised Nokia’s technology-agnostic approach advocating for a sensible blend of fibre and satellite solutions to efficiently address US connectivity gaps emphasising fibre's cost-effectiveness over the long-term lifecycle “Fibre’s upfront costs are transparent and long-term ownership costs are well-documented whereas satellite’s long-term economics remain uncertain." Hendricks did welcome administrative reviews aimed at streamlining BEAD noting Nokia’s substantial investments into domestic manufacturing facilities like its Kenosha plant “We were clear in our frustration with the Biden administration that [BEAD] wasn't moving quickly enough We told that to the secretary multiple times to the extent that a rapid review and revision of some of the policies can then unleash the orders and the funding Hendricks supported FCC Chair Brendan Carr’s proactive stance on opening more mid-band spectrum particularly in the critical 3 GHz to 12 GHz ranges The policy chief criticised historical inaction that has hindered efficient deployment and innovation “The problem with spectrum isn’t technical; it's the entrenched positions preventing pragmatic solutions,” Hendricks stated stressing the urgency of creating a robust spectrum pipeline he said the US “risks repeating past mistakes deploying networks on available but suboptimal frequencies and facing exorbitant spectrum prices” The FCC plans to open up additional portions of C-band spectrum The agency also wants to expand millimetre wave (mmWave) spectrum usage, with officials voting in favour of new sharing rules for the lower 37 GHz band The FCC also wants to boost the connectivity of satellites, with plans to overhaul power limits on non-geostationary satellites (NGSOs) The Nokia policy chief advocated for dedicated spectrum allocations to boost enterprise wireless innovation crucial for applications from precision agriculture to healthcare Hendricks underscored the importance of continued federal support for foundational R&D through programmes such as the Science Act component of the CHIPS Act “Investing in foundational R&D—quantum computing and advanced electronics—is essential,” he emphasised highlighting Bell Labs’ role as a cornerstone of innovation cross-sectoral dialogue to strategically bolster critical US manufacturing capabilities such as printed circuit boards and RF filters to reduce dependency on geopolitically vulnerable regions “The US remains a prime location for manufacturing and R&D,” Hendricks concluded strategic policies and consistent government-industry collaboration to realise its full potential.” Trump to dump 'horrible' CHIPS Act as fear of tariffs encourages semiconductor investment Nokia’s $2.3bn Infinera acquisition expands data centre ambitions Commerce Sec.

believe that every photographer should get one so you're never going to take professional-grade shots the low resolution of this phone's image sensor feels more like a joke than a feature terrible – camera pushed me to fundamentally rethink how I take photos you pretty much have an attractive image already I've often seen people taking iPhone photos and done a double-take – because what's on their screen looks brighter more colorful and more attractive than what I could see with my actual eyes the software is now so good that it's tempting not even to worry about composition Or I'll press a button and some AI tool will magically improve it It's similar to how some young movie directors sometimes say (and I have this on good authority; no names mentioned) "That shot doesn't look great in camera but we'll just fix it in post." That kind of thinking is awful If any of this is ringing true with you, then here's my suggestion: get one of the best dumbphones and reacquaint yourself with the raw art of taking a picture – without any help from tech Because when you’re forced to work with extreme constraints – no autofocus barely any pixels – you stop trying to get the perfect shot and start asking more interesting questions how do I compose something that tells a story with barely any detail In my case, with my cheap and cheerful Nokia The results weren’t always technically good but they often had more 'feeling' than the perfectly exposed shots I take with my big fancy smartphone This is the magic of limitations: they break your habits We’re so used to convenience that it’s easy to forget creativity thrives under pressure I found myself framing moments more deliberately; shooting with intention rather than snapping a hundred shots and picking the best the Nokia 225 4G’s camera isn’t impressive but it is inspiring – if you let it be you won’t be shooting your next photo exhibition on this thing (unless you’re trying to make a point) But it will change how you think about photography And in an age of infinite megapixels and AI-enhanced perfection that’s more valuable than it might seem don't forget that you're getting an actual working phone into the bargain He has also worked for a wide range of mainstream titles including The Sun you will then be prompted to enter your display name Nokia is committed to lead an open mobile future with strong network performance and security Open Radio Access Network (RAN) sits at the heart of this discus reliability and efficiency requires continuous innovation in hardware software and services across the RAN network domain Openness enables collaboration and has the potential to accelerate innovation when leading players in their respective fields work together Openness can come at the expense of new complexities which could slow down commercial 5G adoption evolution and – on the level of society – progress in digitalization Open RAN aims to create easier interoperability on existing 3GPP RAN interfaces the O-RAN Alliance is defining new interfaces not currently being specified by 3GPP The O-RAN Alliance started in June 2018 and has rapidly gained momentum The alliance inherited the activities of the previous xRAN and C-RAN forums Nokia has contributed to both xRAN and C-RAN and was the first leading RAN vendor to join the O-RAN Alliance Nokia is widely represented in all O-RAN working groups and co-chairs groups that are defining the O-RAN Fronthaul Interface and the O-RAN near-real-time RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) The Open RAN Policy Coalition is a group of companies formed to promote policies that will accelerate the adoption of open RAN solutions to create innovation spur competition and expand the supply chain for advanced wireless technologies The coalition is formed of global vendors and CSPs to promote public policies for an Open RAN environment Nokia is the first major global RAN vendor to join the Open RAN Policy Coalition Nokia has a long history of support for open and interoperable technologies and is a substantial contributor to 3GPP for 3G is helping to shape policy choices that will affect how wireless networks are built including support for research and development in open networks We are also driving the development and technical specification of the Open Fronthaul Interface and the near-real-time RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) which will help automate and optimize the network Nokia has championed open standards in 3GPP ETSI's Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) initiative RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) is a new optional virtualized 5G optimization technology that adds programmability to an existing or new RAN and allows SON-like (Self-Optimizing Networks) capabilities to be added Nokia and AT&T are jointly creating an RIC software platform and have run successful trials with external applications at the edge of the CSP's live 5G mmWave network on an Akraino-based Open Cloud Platform The fronthaul interface between radio Units (RU Remote Radio Heads or massive MIMO antennas) and baseband units (in particular the Distributed Units (DU)) is one of the focus areas in Open RAN The O-RAN Alliance has specified an eCPRI-based 7.2x open interface between the Radio Unit (O-RU) and Distributed Unit (O-DU) as a basis for connecting radio units and baseband units of different vendors Another focus areas in Open RAN is the establishment of a new radio intelligent layer on top of the base stations The RIC platform provides functions and interfaces that boost optimization through policy-driven closed loop automation and faster as well as programmability with AI/ML technologies within the RAN RIC will allow xApps to control aspects of the 5G radio network through installed control applications xApps can come from multiple sources and provide many benefits One example is smarter traffic steering across different layers and radio access technologies Nokia's O-RAN support bases on its field-proven AirScale platform This ensures high performance and feature richness which Nokia customers have come to expect Nokia has made significant investments in O-RAN leading the early deployment of RIC and the open fronthaul designed according to DFSEC (Design for Security) and NESAS (Network Equipment Security Assurance Scheme) processes and supported by years of field experience While Open RAN offers programmability for network optimization and stimulates innovation through open interfaces key items need to be addressed to enable its adoption These include interoperability and lifecycle management of network functions as well as interworking with deployed networks It is also important to recognize the increased complexity of multi-vendor integration Nokia has developed strong multi-vendor integration skills and has vast experience from live networks as well as a robust process to ensure interoperability with leading mobile device vendors This system integration expertise will support CSPs and aid O-RAN adoption

launches new AI Private Cloud services Reduce complexity in your network operations maximize your investments through new revenue opportunities Deliver digital applications and services with highest levels of performance and security Extended Reality (XR) technology promises to revolutionize our personal and professional lives by providing immersive and interactive experiences for entertainment creating these experiences requires substantial processing power often requiring high-end hardware that can compromise mobility Split rendering offers users the best of both worlds by offloading processing to powerful servers in the network and delivering high-quality XR to lightweight consumer devices like smartphones and AR glasses Imagine playing top-tier VR games on smartphones or standalone headsets without worrying about hardware compatibility or large downloads is pioneering standardized technologies to realize split rendering in mobile networks Extended Reality (XR) is a comprehensive term encompassing a range of immersive technologies VR immerses users in a completely digital environment often through headsets that block out the physical world AR overlays digital information onto our real-world view enhancing our perception of reality through devices like smartphones or AR glasses allowing digital and physical objects to interact in real-time These experiences are delivered through “XR applications” designed to process and render complex digital environments in real-time while simultaneously analyzing and possibly integrating the real environment beyond the data that is eventually rendered as audio and visual content and consumed by the user multiple components to create an immersive experience Figure 1 illustrates some of these components these components contribute to the large size of XR applications Most XR applications are downloaded to and run on devices like smartphones is usually the most resource intensive task and requires powerful specialized Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) chips making it challenging for these consumer devices with limited processing and power capability to handle resource-intensive XR applications ultimately reducing overall performance and Quality of Experience (QoE) for end users downloading a large XR application can be time-consuming and may consume significant device storage splits the computational workload of an XR application between the user's device and powerful remote servers accessible through a communications network This allows the delivery of complex and visually impressive XR experiences to end users with devices that have limited resources Split rendering paradigm allows computationally complex operations of an XR application to be offloaded to an Edge or Cloud server The server receives user input and sensor data The client then decodes the received frame High-quality video from the split rendering server results in high data rates ensuring good QoE for immersive XR requires low interaction latency Achieving consistent high data rates and low latency over the internet can be difficult to achieve including traffic generated by split rendering solutions To make the process suitable for varying network or device conditions the 3GPP split rendering server in the network and the split rendering client (i.e. the user device) can agree to flexible split rendering at the beginning of the split rendering process but devices can also run some rendering tasks by using adaptive split rendering Adaptive split rendering enables the split of rendering operations between a server and a device to be optimized on the fly during a split rendering session This adaptability helps the device and server to respond to the content and the operating state of the client or server to ensure a high QoE for the end user if the latency between the server and client exceeds acceptable limits the client may render some interactive graphics locally The standard aims to ensure a smooth and transparent experience to the user by making necessary graphical objects available and maintaining a coherent application state between the client and the server High-quality XR applications demand substantial processing power often exceeding the capabilities of consumer devices Split rendering offloads computationally complex tasks to network edge servers enabling the delivery of immersive XR experiences without compromising device performance or user comfort Recognizing the potential of this approach 3GPP is actively developing standardized split rendering technologies for XR services These efforts aim to enable flexible and responsive applications that ensure a high QoE for end users specializing in immersive multimedia systems and actively
