Nokia named a Leader in Small Cell Equipment by Gartner and number one Small
Cells Vendor by IHS
* Gartner recognizes Nokia in 'Leaders' quadrant of the 2016 Magic Quadrant
for Small Cell Equipment report, positioning Nokia furthest for
"completeness of vision"
* IHS names Nokia as the "top small cell equipment manufacturer" in latest
survey of operators
24 October 2016
Espoo, Finland - Nokia has been recognized as a leader in small cells technology
in two key industry analyst reports. Gartner, Inc. has recognized Nokia in the
'Leaders' quadrant of its 2016 Magic Quadrant for Small Cell Equipment report,
and in an independent survey of 21 operators conducted by IHS - representing the
largest global service providers by revenue - Nokia has been named the number
one small cells vendor.
Gartner's Magic Quadrant* evaluates small cell vendors on an annual basis. Of
the 16 vendors evaluated in 2016, Gartner recognized Nokia as a Leader and
positioned the company the furthest for "completeness of vision", which assesses
a vendor's product and market strategies, and innovation, among other
categories. Nokia believes that the report highlights the strengths in its
portfolio of high-performance solutions and its capabilities to support
Unlicensed LTE, Wi-Fi(®) and Mobile Edge Computing.
In the IHS survey** 95 percent of the operators questioned named Nokia as the
"top small cell equipment manufacturer", with all respondents citing Nokia as
the small cells vendor most familiar to them. The report also found that Nokia
has the largest installed base of small cells, with many of those operators
surveyed stating they were evaluating Nokia "for equipment to be added to their
networks by July 2017". Sixty percent of respondents rated Nokia as the leader
in seven out of the eight buying criteria evaluated.
Nokia believes these reports underline the importance of its small cells and
HetNet services, which include mini-macro, micro, pico and femto solutions for
licensed and unlicensed spectrum, help operators evolve toward ultra-dense
networks and 5G at a pace that stays ahead of customer demand.
Nokia has more than 220 customers for its small cells solutions around the
globe, including most major operators. The Nokia small cell portfolio is
deployed in a range of scenarios within multi-vendor and Nokia macro level
networks, including extending coverage in cities and rural locations and
providing capacity to meet demands in high-traffic hotspots, mass events, and
inside public and private enterprise buildings. Nokia continuously invests in
product innovation to help operators with coverage and capacity densification,
such as the award winning Flexi Zone Multiband Indoor and Outdoor BTS family.
Stéphane Téral, Senior Research Director IHS, said: "Nokia is perceived as the
top small cell manufacturer and is the most installed small cell vendor. The
newly expanded company has now been propelled into the small cell driver's seat
with a nice lead over its competitors."
Mark Atkinson, Head of the Small Cell and WiFi Solutions Business Line at Nokia,
said: "The connectivity demands of people and machines will continue to grow -
particularly in high traffic megacities. Nokia is constantly innovating with its
small cells and HetNet services portfolio to allow operators to efficiently
deliver revenue-generating solutions for coverage and capacity. Nokia is
extremely proud to be recognized in these reports and we feel they are a clear
reflection of our leading market position."
