Nokia Triumphs Again in Telecom Software World
In a dazzling display of tech wizardry, Nokia has reclaimed the crown as the biggest tele‑engineering software and services provider, according to the latest star‑ranking from Analysys Mason. It’s like winning the Oscars for software, but with fewer silos and more routers.
The Numbers Don’t Lie
- 2019 global telecom software market: 1 % growth, reaching $66.9 billion.
- Nokia’s slice of that pie: roughly $4.5 billion – a bluff‑inspiring share.
What Makes Nokia Stand Out?
Think of Nokia’s Common Software Foundation as the Swiss Army knife that works seamlessly on every major public cloud platform, giving operators the freedom to mix and match as they wish.
Nokia dominates growth hotspots like:
- Virtualization
- Digital infrastructure
- Network orchestration and automation
- AI & machine learning
- Cognitive analytics
Past Awards, Future Glory
Analysys Mason has been cheering from the sidelines since 2017 – first naming Nokia the top product‑market‑share leader, then again topping telecom software & services in 2018. This year, the laurels kept piling up.
Word from the Leaders
Larry Goldman, Partner & Head of Networks and Software Research, Analysys Mason, said: “Nokia isn’t just a leader; it’s a trendsetter. Their stronghold in network virtualization and near‑universal dominance across telecom categories sets the bar. New service providers lean heavily toward Nokia’s cloud‑native solutions.”
Bhaskar Gorti, President of Nokia Software & Chief Digital Officer, added: “Listening to our customers is the secret sauce behind our cloud‑native apps on the Nokia Common Software Foundation. Our teams are thrilled because customers continue to prioritize Nokia for their telco software spend.”
