Since the company was founded in 1865 as a single paper mill company, Nokia has found success in various industrial areas over the years, including cable, paper goods, rubber boots, tires, televisions and mobile phones.
Its transition into telecommunications started in the 1990s with the first mobile call made using Nokia equipment in 1991 using the Global System for Mobile Communications’ (GSM) standard. By 1998, Nokia was the best-selling mobile phone brand globally thanks to its rapid success in the mobile phone industry.

The groups were part of a larger overhaul of the company’s leadership and operating model announced on 29 October 2020. The business groups have been effective since 1 January 2021.

It aims to become a leader in critical technologies, such as 5G, the open radio access network (ORAN) and virtual radio access network (vRAN). The IP and Fixed Networks group includes IP routing, optical networks, fixed networks and the Alcatel submarine networks business.
The Nokia Software business, Nokia enterprise solutions and core network solutions are grouped under Cloud and Network Services.
