Nokia 2004 Annual Report Download - page 34

Enterprise Solutions business group has two units: Mobile Devices and Security and Mobile
Connectivity.
The Mobile Devices unit produces mobile devices optimized for business use. These devices
integrate mobile phone and network connectivity with a common set of features including
personal information management, email access, back-up, synchronization, connectivity to IT
infrastructure, device security, over-the-air settings and development tools. As the product
portfolio evolves, we expect to expand the number of devices that work on both IP and mobile
networks as we incorporate cellular and non-cellular technologies in the same devices.
Current devices offerings as of the end of February 2005 include the Nokia 6800, Nokia 6820 and
Nokia 6822 messaging devices, which have an innovative design with flip-access to a full QWERTY
keyboard for text input. Launched in 2004, the Nokia 9500 Communicator and Nokia 9300
enterprise smartphone round out the high end of Nokia’s business mobile device portfolio.
The Security and Mobile Connectivity unit has a broad range of application and secure connectivity
offerings designed to help enterprise customers ensure that their employees are granted the
appropriate level of access to corporate information and they have a secure connection from their
mobile devices to the enterprise network. These offerings consist primarily of gateways, which are
network points that act as an entrance to another network, and software-based tools that
interoperate with Nokia and non-Nokia mobile devices. They are designed to integrate seamlessly
with an enterprise’s existing IT infrastructure and to be easy to manage.
The comprehensive Nokia Secure Connectivity offerings include IPSec VPN and Secure Socket Layer,
or SSL, VPN technologies. These technologies give customers, partners and employees flexibility in
accessing enterprise applications and information and work with a variety of devices, including
mobile phones, PDAs, laptops and desktop terminals. These offerings allow enterprises to make
better use of their existing network infrastructure investments without diminishing the quality of
service of existing systems.
The Nokia suite of network security offerings has a proven record of meeting the most demanding
requirements from large enterprises to small remote offices. Nokia offers a range of firewall
gateways that we believe provide the most fully featured and cost-effective IP security solutions in
the industry. These gateways rely on software from Checkpoint, one of our co-developers, for the
firewall application. During 2004, Nokia introduced two new network security gateways designed
for mid to large enterprises, service providers and data sites: the Nokia IP 2250 and the Nokia IP
1220. The new Nokia IPSO Operating System was also launched.
Networks
Networks is a leading provider of network infrastructure, communications and networks service
platforms and services to operators and service providers. Networks focuses on the GSM family of
radio technologies, including GSM, EDGE and WCDMA networks, core networks with increasing IP
and multi-access capabilities, and services. The Networks business group enables mobility for
mobile voice, consumer multimedia and enterprise solutions.
During 2004, Nokia gained ten new network infrastructure customers for GSM, GPRS and EDGE in
Argentina, Australia, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Iraq, Libya, Pakistan, South Africa and Ukraine. In
2004, we significantly expanded our presence in India and Russia and entered new markets in the
Middle East and Africa. Nokia strengthened its position in the growing market of India by signing
important network contracts with Bharti Televentures, BSNL, Idea Cellular and Hutchison India. In
Russia, Nokia won major network deals with MegaFon and VimpelCom. In the US, Nokia signed
significant network expansion deals with T-Mobile and Cingular.
