Nokia has been identified by market intelligence provider Current Analysis as the No.1 vendor for the delivery of technologies “beyond 4G” in a study compiled of 100 service provider executives around the globe.

The Current Analysis study, Carrier Investment Plans For Evolving Today’s 4G networks Towards A 5G Future, is intended to highlight the leading priorities of telecommunications operators over the next five years. Based on the findings, Nokia is seen as a clear leader in the public safety space, being named number one by a wide margin. Nokia has worked with a variety of public safety agencies to deploy 4G LTE technology in support of applications such as real-time video communications between first responders and command centers, as well as vehicle tracking and broadband connections to allow teams to quickly and securely obtain and share detailed information in emergency situations.

Henri Tallon, head of Public Sector at Nokia, said: “The results of the Current Analysis survey clearly reflect the trust that operators have in our technology, something we deeply value and work hard to sustain on a daily basis. Operators can play an important role in the development of secure, scalable broadband networks, and as an established leader in LTE mobile broadband with security solutions that cover both networks and devices, we are working with both operators and governments worldwide to understand and meet their most stringent requirements of mission- and business-critical voice and data communications. A proofpoint is the 55 customers across the globe who have chosen our IP or 4G LTE technology for their mission-critical networks.”
