Appledore was among a small group of analysts invited to an in-person briefing at Nokia’s Executive Experience Center in Espoo, following a well-attended User Group for its mobile core products.

The visit provided an extensive opportunity to hear about Nokia’s plans in mobile core, especially 5G Standalone, and about changes in the market during 2022. We were also shown a selection of live demonstrations showcasing real-world applications of several Nokia strategic themes, including SaaS and network-as-code.

This short Research Note will be of interest to anyone wanting to understand developments and changes within the 5G Mobile Core market, and/or the trajectory of one of the leading vendors.
