Nokia Solutions and Networks (NSN) India has posted revenues of ?151 million in the second quarter of 2013. In comparison, the company had reported revenues of ?314 million in the first quarter of 2013.
According to the company, NSN?s performance was impacted by fewer deployments of wireless infrastructure networks. Sandeep Girotra, head and vice-president, NSN India, commented that the telecom industry is moving away from an uncertain regulatory environment. Investments in 2G, 3G and 4G networks is expected to increase in the few months and NSN is well placed to leverage these business opportunities.
Going forward, modernisation and upgradation of existing telecom infrastructure will drive cross networks across operators. NSN expects to play a leading role in promoting radio modernisation projects which will help operators reduce opex and improve efficiency.
NSN has also signed Wi-Fi offloading deals with two telecom operators in India. These service providers will utilise NSN?s solutions to offload Wi-Fi. Currently, the company works with operators such as Bharti Airtel, Vodafone, Idea Cellular, Videocon, Aircel, Tata Teleservices, BSNL, etc.
