NOKIA IN 2020 03 Nokia in 2020 Humanity, connected Key The world has made it through a uniquely difficult year. We lived, learned, worked and socialized online. It was a vast change, which happened quickly and without highlights warning. Our customers were put under immense pressure. But with our help, they delivered. This reminds us that connectivity is not a ‘nice to have’. It is a fundamental part of modern society, one that Nokia has a responsibility to provide. And we are doing so. In 2020 our products and services underpinned new innovations in efficient public services, remote education, optimized logistics, smart healthcare, digital startups, clean energy generation, waste-free manufacturing and traditional networking, among many other uses. We carried out this work with a permanent focus on security, value and performance. This is the connectivity that the world deserves. We will continue to deliver it. Global reach Regional split of employees We have combined global leadership in mobile and fixed network infrastructure with the software, services and advanced technologies to serve customers around the world.

This development was from our supported by a regional mix shift towards the higher-margin North America region, our ongoing R&D efforts to enhance product quality and cost competitiveness, and President improvements in our Networks business. Nokia delivered a strong cash performance for the year and we ended 2020 with net cash and current financial investments at approximately EUR 2.5 billion, up and CEO approximately EUR 0.8 billion from 2019. Net sales decreased by 6% year-on-year primarily due to network deployment and planning services within Mobile Access. In Nokia Enterprise, we continued to make great progress in 2020 and delivered double digit year-on-year growth in net sales. Overall, we took important steps in improving on execution.

  • Free Space Optics for 5G Backhaul Networks and Beyond Wael G
    Free Space Optics for 5G Backhaul Networks and Beyond Thesis by Wael G. Alheadary In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, Thuwal, Makkah Province, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia July, 2018 2 EXAMINATION COMMITTEE PAGE The thesis of Wael G. Alheadary is approved by the examination committee Committee Chairperson: Professor Mohamed-Slim Alouini Committee Members: Professor Boon Ooi, Professor Taous-Meriem Laleg-Kirati, Professor Chengshan Xiao. 3 © July 2018 Wael G. Alheadary All Rights Reserved 4 ABSTRACT Free Space Optics for 5G Backhaul Networks and Beyond Wael G. Alheadary The exponential increase of mobile users and the demand for high-speed data services has resulted in significant congestions in cellular backhaul capacity. As a solution to satisfy the traffic requirements of the existing 4G network, the 5G net- work has emerged as an enabling technology and a fundamental building block of next-generation communication networks. An essential requirement in 5G backhaul networks is their unparalleled capacity to handle heavy traffic between a large number of devices and the core network. Microwave and optic fiber technologies have been considered as feasible solutions for next-generation backhaul networks. However, such technologies are not cost effective to deploy, especially for the backhaul in high-density urban or rugged areas, such as those surrounded by mountains and solid rocks. Addi- tionally, microwave technology faces alarmingly challenging issues, including limited data rates, scarcity of licensed spectrum, advanced interference management, and rough weather conditions (i.e., rain, which is the main weather condition that affects microwave signals the most).

    HACCP in AQUAFARMS A practical handbook S. Regidor & L. Dabbadie (eds) Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Centre de Coopération Internationale en Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA) Building Recherche Agronomique pour le Développement. Elliptical Road, Diliman Avenue Agropolis, 34398 Montpellier Cedex 5 Quezon City, Philippines France 1 This handbook is the result of a collective work that involved many actors, including: Simeona Regidor Remedios Ongtangco Rosa Macas Ligaya Cabrera Joselito Lacap Joe Balthazar Jean-Michel Otero J. Lorenzo Vergara Pascal Levy Nestor Natanauan Josie dela Vega Nenita Kawit Maurita Rosana Jorge Tabilog Gregorio Biscocho Mario Balazon Sonia Somga Carmen Augustine Nuttawat Suchart Marcelino Ortiz Gonzalo Coloma Amor Diaz Lilia Pelayo Lionel Dabbadie 2 INTRODUCTION “If it’s good for me, then it’s good for them” —Pampanga Shrimp Farmer, March 2009 HACCP1 has become a basic requirement for international trade, not only for Filipinos wishing to export to most countries, but also for foreign operators wanting to sell their products on the Philippine market. It is important to understand the roots of the success of HACCP, because it is not just a constraint to be complied with. If well understood, HACCP is an opportunity for Filipino farmers to take the lead in the highly competitive context of the 21st century’s global economy. With the globalization of trade, the geographical and cultural gaps between food producers and food consumers have never been larger. Filipinos eat imported rice and Europeans eat imported shrimps. But the growing distance between producing and consuming areas is also a factor that breeds misunderstanding and sometimes distrust, whether justified or not.

  • Evolution of Access Network Sharing and Its Role in 5G Networks
    applied sciences Review Evolution of Access Network Sharing and Its Role in 5G Networks Nima Afraz * , Frank Slyne , Harleen Gill and Marco Ruffini * CONNECT Centre, Trinity College, The University of Dublin, 2 Dublin, Ireland; [email protected] (F.S.); [email protected] (H.G.) * Correspondence: [email protected] (N.A.); marco.ruffi[email protected] (M.R.) Received: 3 October 2019; Accepted: 18 October 2019; Published: 28 October 2019 Abstract: This paper details the evolution of access network sharing models from legacy DSL to the most recent fibre-based technology and the main challenges faced from technical and business perspectives. We first give an overview of existing access sharing models, that span physical local loop unbundling and virtual unbundled local access. We then describe different types of optical access technologies and highlight how they support network sharing. Next, we examine how the concept of SDN and network virtualization has been pivotal in enabling the idea of “true multi-tenancy”, through the use of programmability, flexible architecture and resource isolation. We give examples of recent developments of cloud central office and OLT virtualization. Finally, we provide an insight into the role that novel business models, such as blockchain and smart contract technology, could play in 5G networks. We discuss how these might evolve, to provide flexibility and dynamic operations that are needed in the data and control planes. Keywords: access networks; network sharing; 5G networks; multi tenancy; optical access; sharing economics 1. Introduction By its nature, a telecommunications network is a shared resource that interconnects multiple nodes. Network sharing is part of a fundamental principle of statistical multiplexing of link capacity.
