We are committed to innovation and sustainability and offer a complete portfolio of mobile, fixed and converged network technologies as well as professional services including consulting and systems integration, network implementation, maintenance and care, and managed services.

We serve more than 600 customers across the world – Communications Service Providers (CSPs) who face a multitude of challenges such as the need to increase efficiency as the pressure on reducing capital and operational costs grows; to capture greater value through business model innovation; to reduce the complexity within their businesses and networks; and to grow their customer base and minimize subscriber churn.

At Nokia Siemens Networks we aim to play a vital role in helping CSPs meet these pressing challenges, as we enable them to build stronger, more lasting and profitable customer relationships by improving efficiency and the individual experience. While we have a track record of increasing a CSP’s network and service efficiency, we also realize that we must address the end customers’ need for a better experience. The individual communications experience is the greatest value a CSP can deliver to its customers, and this is one area where we can deliver the most value to our customers. Reducing the complexity of network architectures is a must for improved efficiency and a better experience. We help our customers transition towards a simplified network architecture through innovative, environmentally sustainable solutions that drive rapid growth.

Nokia Siemens Networks recognizes its responsibility towards the environment and towards building a sustainable business. This focus is reflected in every stage of our product lifecycle from design to end-of-life, and in the reduction of the environmental impact of our internal operations.
