COMPANY PROFILE

The telephone network is one global device: probably the biggest and most complicated
machine on the planet. Despite its ubiquity, it is a fairly recent invention.

The telephone initially developed using the technology designed for the telegraph (invented
by Wheatstone and Morse in 1837). It started out as a manually-switched network (the first
telephone exchange was able to handle a whole 21 lines, and was installed in 1878).

Alexander Graham Bell patented the telephone in 1876, though there remains some dispute
about whether the inventor's glory should really go to Elisha Grey, whose similar patent was
only filed an hour or so later. There is some suggestion the crucial scribbled addendum
'variable resistance' in the margin of Bell's patent may have come from Grey's work.

In the next year, 1877, Western Union turned down an offer of the patent rights for the
telephone for $100,000. A few years later, they had realised their mistake, and offered
$25,000,000, but Bell refused to sell.

That same year, Thomas Edison demonstrated the phonograph. He had developed it as part of
a telephone call transcription service, so that telephone messages could be delivered by
telegraph: an early form of the emerging voice message to messaging services being offered
today!

Calls were connected by operators. An American undertaker, Almon Strowger, discovered

that the local telephone operators were unfairly connecting callers who asked for an
undertaker to his rivals, so he decided to design an automatic telephone switchboard!

The first Stronger electro-mechanical automatic exchange went live in 1897, although in
Britain it took another 70 years before all subscribers were connected to automatic
exchanges.

Modern telephone exchanges are really more like specialist computers, and there are fewer
and fewer of them around: the intelligent parts of the switching are done in fewer, larger
units.
What used to house a telephone exchange now only holds a "concentrator" where telephone
lines are connected to the network.

HISTORY OF NOKIA

Alexandra Techno Park in Singapore, Nokia's regional corporate headquarters is a base from
which over 650 staff provides leading-edge technology, product and solutions to the 20
diverse markets and Nokia offices in the Asia-Pacific region.

Nokia Mobile Phones currently manufactures products out of three major facilities in Masan,
Korea; and Beijing and Dongguan in China. Nokia has R&D centers in Japan and China, and
an industrial park in Xingwang, Beijing with R&D and manufacturing facilities.

Nokia Networks has technology and training centers in Australia, Japan and Thailand, as well
as six joint ventures in China.

Nokia Research Center, the corporate research unit, has offices in Japan and China.

Nokia Ventures Organizations' operation in the region includes Nokia Internet

Communications and Nokia Home Communications.

Nokia is a world leader in mobile communications, driving the growth and

sustainability of the broader mobility industry. Nokia connects people to each other
and the information that matters to them with easy-to-use and innovative products
like mobile phones, devices and solutions for imaging, games, media and
businesses. Nokia provides equipment, solutions and services for network operators
and corporations. Nokia is a broadly held company with listings on four major
exchanges.
From its inception, Nokia was in the communications business as a manufacturer of
paper - the original communications medium. Then came technology with the founding
of the Finnish Rubber Works at the turn of the 20th century.

Rubber, and associated chemicals, were leading edge technologies at the time. Another
major technological change was the expansion of electricity into homes and factories
which led to the establishment of the Finnish Cable Works in 1912 and, quite naturally,
to the manufacture of cables for the telegraph industry and to support that new-fangled
device - the telephone!

After operating for 50 years, an Electronics Department was set up at the Cable Works
in 1960 and this paved the way for a new era in telecommunications. Nokia Corporation
was formed in 1967 by the merger of Nokia Company - the original paper-making
business - with the Finnish Rubber works and cable works.

Design has always been important at Nokia and today's mobile phones are regarded as a
benchmark for others to follow. Take, for example, multi-coloured, clip-on facias which
turned mobiles into a fashion item overnight.

But Nokia has always thought like that and back in the fashion-conscious 1960's when
one branch of the corporation was a major rubber manufacturer, it hit on the idea of
making brightly-coloured rubber boots at a time when boots followed the Henry Ford
principle - you could have any colour, so long as it was black!

The '60s, however, were more important as the start of Nokia's entry into the
telecommunications market. A radio telephone was developed in 1963 followed, in
1965, by data modems - long before such items were even heard of by the general
public.
 In the 1980's, everyone looked to micro computers as the next 'big thing' and Nokia
was no exception as a major producer of computers, monitors and TV sets. In those
days, the prospect of High Definition TV, satellite connections and teletext services
fuelled the imagination of the fashion conscious homeowner.

In the background, however, changes were afoot. The world's first international
cellular mobile telephone network, NMT, was introduced in Scandinavia in 1981 and
Nokia made the first car phones for it.

True enough, there were 'transportable' mobile phones at the start of the '80's but they
were heavy and huge. Nokia produced the original handportable in '87 and phones
have continued to shrink in inverse proportion to the growth of the market ever since.

It took a technological breakthrough and a change in the political climate to create

the wire-free world people are increasingly demanding today. The technology was
the digital standard, GSM, which could carry data in addition to high quality voice.
In 1987, the political goal was set to adopt GSM throughout Europe on July 1st
1991. Finland met the deadline, thanks to Nokia and the operators.

Politics and technology have continued to shape the industry. The '80s and '90s saw
widespread deregulation which stimulated competition and customer expectations.
Nokia changed too and in 1992 Jorma Ollila, then President of Nokia Mobile Phones,
was appointed to head the entire Nokia Group. The corporation divested the non-

core operations and focused on telecommunications in the Digital Age.

Few people in the early '90s would have thought that 'going digital' would change
things so much.

2001 and into the Future

Nokia is harnessing its experience in mobility and networks to generate a startling

vision of the future. Meeting rooms, offices and homes will be 'smart' enough to
recognise their human visitors and give them whatever they want by listening to their
requests.

Nokia welcomes change and improvement and can embrace new ideas at great speed.
Such characteristics will never change but, as to the rest, the story has only just
Services business

With the global launch of Ovi, the company's Internet services

brand name, Nokia is renewing itself to be at the forefront of the
Convergence of internet and mobility. From being a product
Centric company, Nokia is now focusing to become solutions
Centric. The strategic shift is built on Nokia’s bid to retain
consumers and empower Nokia device owners to realise the full
potential of the Internet. Nokia will build a suite of Internet based
services like Nokia Maps, the Nokia Music Store and Nokia N-Gage
around its Ovi brand.

NOKIA ACCESSORIES
. THE MOBILE DEVICE MARKET
On a global level 94 million smartphones were shipped in the last 3 months of 2010, that’s
75 percent more than in the same period for 2009, according to Strategy Analytics. Out of all
the phones shipped in Q4, 24 percent of those were smartphones, this leads to an impressive
number for the whole statistic as over 400 million units were shipped during this last quarter
which showed a growth of 16 percent compared to the same period in 2009. The number one
position was held still by Nokia, which shipped 123.7 million handsets this last year, a
number smaller by 3 percent when compared with 2009 which in turn was 3 percent smaller
than in 2008.
While Symbian, from Nokia’s stable, might still be the top mobile operating system (O/S)
worldwide but its market leadership is surely on wane as the latest data from data analysis
agency, StatCounter shows. Symbian’s global market share stood at 30.25%, as on January
31, 2011, down from 34.16% a year ago. It is followed by Apple’s iOS at the number 2 spot
with a market share of 25%, down from 33.13% in January 2010. And guess who won at the
cost of these two players. While, it may not take much for you to suggest that it’s Google’s
Android, there is another surprise winner in Blackberry, of course the gain was comparatively
much substantial in case of the former (i.e., Android). Android grew its market share from a
meager 4.54% in January 2010 to nearly 15% (14.61% to be precise) while Blackberry’s O/S
added 475 basis points to take its tally to 15.03% in January 2011 from 10.28%, a year ago.

Market share in India

Nokia losing market share is no big news, but its a big news when the story is happening in
India or any other emerging market, where Nokia always had a strong hold.

According to a report by IDC India on the growth of mobile sales in India (for 2009) and
some of the key numbers from the report were:
 Nokia market share in India fell from 56.2% share in 2008 to 54.1% in 2009.
 Local players have grabbed 17.5% market share [from 0.9%, a year back]
 Only 5 local manufacturers in 2008 and the number stands at 28 now!
 Samsung’s share rose marginally to 9.7% from 9.5%

The data has stirred Nokia to angry responses: Its managing director in
India noted the firm "continues to do well" in all market segments in India, before
commenting that IDC's stats seemed to concern shipments of phones rather than
actual sales. He even remarked that Nokia's own estimates of the dual-SIM market
share was a much lower 22%. We know Nokia's been aggressively targeting rural
customers in India, who make up about a quarter of the market, and has even set up
a factory there in the last decade.

And Nokia is facing another significant threat: Apple. We're aware that the prevailing
opinion is that Nokia's grip has slipped off the cutting edge of smartphone design,
and as smartphones assume the central position in the future of cell phone tech,
Nokia may already be too late to catch up to the lead set by Apple and Google. Now
there are increasingly concrete rumors Apple will make a CDMA version of the
iPhone to satisfy the U.S.'s leading provider Verizon. And CDMA networks are also
highly popular in India, offering access to potentially tens of millions of subscribers--
other rumors are already suggesting Apple's going to target these consumers.

India's 30,000 crore-a-year mobile handset market witnessed a skirmish between two big
global names on Tuesday, with market leader Nokia disputing figures from influential
research firm IDCthat showed its hold over the domestic market was weakening — and at an
alarming pace.

IDC, whose data are closely tracked around the world, said Nokia's share of the Indian
handset market — its second biggest after China — plunged to 36.3% at the end of June from
54% at the end of 2009, providing the Finnish giant's critics more proof of its failure to keep
pace with rapidlychanging customer preferences.
