STOCKHOLM/HELSINKI (Reuters) – Shifting geopolitics and a sharp round of cost-cutting have put Nokia firmly back in the global 5G rollout race just a year after CEO Pekka Lundmark took the reins at the Finnish company. “The drastic changes and improved performance under Pekka’s stewardship is clearly evident,” said Paolo Pescatore, an analyst at PP Foresight. Nokia has also invested significantly in its Reefshark chipset, cutting the end cost of its 5G equipment, and given its business units more autonomy over where they choose to compete. European governments have long been tightening controls on the role of Chinese companies in 5G networks following diplomatic pressure from Washington, which alleges Huawei equipment could be used by Beijing for spying. But its China business has taken a tit-for-tat hit since Sweden late last year banned Chinese companies from supplying critical 5G network equipment.
