With a history of a century and a half of innovation, from a riverside paper mill in southwestern Finland to a global telecommunications leader, Nokia is now recognized as the 5th most valued brand in the world. Headquartered in Espoo, Finland, the company is named after the Nokia River in southern Finland, next to which the original Nokia pulp mill was located.
Keeping a workforce of over 120,000 people worldwide working as a connected enterprise is a huge challenge for any company. For Nokia, with mobility at the core of its DNA, it is a matter of reputation. Back in 2005, Nokia partnered with iPass to give its growing community of remote and mobile employees the best out-of-office experience available.
Nokia has always been an early technology adopter and really bought into our vision of zero-touch connectivity and mobility management platform. Their decision to deploy the iPass Open Mobile client as the company-wide connection manager of choice for all of Nokia’s employees worldwide, working remotely or via on-campus Wi-Fi in the workplace, ultimately allows them to deliver their own enterprise mobility service uniquely tailored to meet the requirements of the workforce. Some of the key benefits include:
Consistent, simple, connection manager for all of Nokia’s employees worldwide, working remotely or via on-campus Wi-Fi in the workplace
Location-aware connectivity client instantly connects employees to the best available network based on preset policies including their location, 3G availability, and department and role within the organization
