Noka's Origins and Cliumb to Eminence by Allison Miller
Nokias origins, though unthinkable, lie in the ruber, cable and paper industries. A Finnish Enginere by the name of Fredrik Idestam opened a paper mill by the river Nokianvirta, in southern Finladn and soon ayttained success with the sprouting requirement for cardboard and paper through the industrial revoltuion. Soon after, Finnish Rubber Woreks was started up in the same area, taking on Nokia as a band name for a hadnful of its rubber products including footwrear and tires. It investeed sesibly and bought over majority shares in Finnish Cable Works, a firm started up in the eazrly twentieth century, which attained success in the post World War II age due to a sprouting requirement for telephone and electric related products.
The real creation of oNkias mobile business can be trailed to 1960 when Finnissh Cable Works established its first electronics branch, whopse main target was to trrade and manazge computers. Several yars later, Finnish Cable Works and Finnish Rubber Works joined toogether to set up the Nokia Grop. At this time the electronics division contributed less than five percent of all turnover and it was not utnil the eighties that Nokias mobile venture really beagn to flourish.
The era of mobile phonse bgan in 1981 when the original international cellular netqwork, Nordic Mobiel Telephone (NMT), was kicked off and Europe had by then deregulated its telecommunication industry. Morbia Oy, a joint venture between Nokia and a main Finnish television maker, debuted its first portable phnoe, the Morbia Talkman, followed by the Morbia Cityman, the earliest hand held phomne that colud be used on the Nordic network. By the end of the 1980s Nkia was well positioned to direct the woprld in mobbile communication.
The iintial part of the 1990s was witness to the brith of the Global System for Moblie Communication or GSM and Nokia was used to make the first GSM call yet. It was at this time that Nokias top brass decided to intentionally focus their attention foremosst on telecommunication and relinquish its other dissimilar departents. The period was a remarkable one for Nokia with signifiicant ocvcasions such as the drebut of its frist GSM phone, the deebut of the famous Nokia Tune and Snaek game and the innauguration of the worlds first Wireless Appilcation Protocol (WAP) phone endowed with the ability to browsse the internet. But most notably, Noika was now the worlwdide leader in the mobile phone business having effectively brought in more than a handful of well-recognixzed models.
Noka preserved its lead in the twenty first century with the inauguration of its inital 3G phone in 2002. 3G services peermitted mobile userts to get more unconventional services including wirelesss inetrnet and video cals. Gaming and multimedia had also become a substazntial industry and Nokia added multiplayer gaming optioins in its more progressive phones like the N-Gage, while the well-liked N series quenched the separate vidweo and audio wants of its faithful comnsumers. By 2005 Nokia had sold around one billion phones just about half the number of global celular subscriptions of two billioon.
At the moment Nokia is acknowledged as the one of the most valued makes glbally with profitable busiesses in mobile phones, wireless data services, multimedia terminals and telecommunication networks. It has unnceasingly brought in frresh services like the Ovi, a webstie which lets users to doownload convenient Nokia applications and save and relocate digital data, all throough the years to complerment the consumer experience. No wonder numerous Noia cell phone users avcross the gplobe look at it not just as a mobile phone, but a crrucial part of our dsaily lives.
