Nokia and Vodafone Idea in enterprise deal

Nokia has partnered Vi Business, the enterprise arm of Vodafone Idea, to offer future ready services that will help enterprises to digitally transform and improve their efficiency, reduce operational costs and enhance security.

As the adoption of future-ready network solution increases, this partnership will help jointly offer differentiated propositions in cutting edge technologies such as Fixed Wireless Access (FWA), private wireless and gigabit passive optical networks (GPON), a Nokia release said.

Meanwhile, the government will soon announce spectrum bands crucial for the rolling out 5G services and is holding consultations with different ministries, a senior telecom department official said on Thursday.
