Samsung to acquire Nokia’s network infrastructure business, rumor says

Samsung to acquire Nokia’s infrastructure business bolster its RAN presence

Despite facing challenges from industry giants like Ericsson and Huawei, Nokia remains a significant player in the network infrastructure market. While Samsung has its own Radio Access Network (RAN) business, its market share is comparatively smaller, estimated at around 6.1% last year.

Recent industry rumors suggest that Samsung is keen to bolster its RAN presence by acquiring Nokia’s infrastructure business. The potential deal, valued at approximately $10 billion, could catapult Samsung to the position of the world’s second-largest RAN supplier, with a market share of 25.6%.

Samsung’s existing portfolio, which includes 4G and 5G base stations, chipsets, devices, radios, and core equipment, demonstrates its substantial experience in the infrastructure sector. The company has already established partnerships with major carriers worldwide, including Telus Canada, O2 in Germany, Reliance Jio in India, KDDI and NTT DoCoMo in Japan, Dish and Verizon in the US, and Vodafone in the UK.
