Nokia Siemens Networks, is becoming Nokia Solutions and Networks, and will be henceforth known as NSN. The new name reflects NSN’s change of ownership following Nokia’s acquisition of Siemens’ entire 50 percent stake.

Rajeev Suri (CEO, NSN): While our name and brand have changed, I would like to emphasize that our overall strategy and our focus on mobile broadband remain the same.

Nokia Solutions and Networks is wholly owned by Nokia and will continue to be consolidated by Nokia. Rajeev Suri will continue as CEO and the NSN executive board will remain unchanged.
