Nokia says won share of China Unicom 5G core network order

Nokia has won a share of China Unicom’s 5G core network order alongside Huawei and ZTE, Nokia’s Chief Executive Rajeev Suri told Reuters in an interview, citing information published by the telecom operator.

“We are the only foreign supplier in China Unicom for 5G core,” Suri said.

Nokia provides a wide range of telecom equipment in the China market but saw its Greater China revenue drop 29% year-on-year in January-March.
