Wipro acquires Nokia mobile TV unit

By SiliconIndia,Friday, 24 April 2009, 00:15 Hrs

Bangalore: IT service giant Wipro has acquired the mobile TV unit of Finland-based mobile phone manufacturer Nokia. "We wanted to focus on the consumer side of things rather than on the business-to-business side," said Nokia.

Known as the Mobile Broadcast Solutions division of Nokia, the unit employs around 40 people, who are mainly responsible for developing software and hardware to enable mobile TV technology on the phone. The company had sold its unit as it planned to focus on the consumer side of the mobile TV business. The mobile television and on-demand video did not gain much popularity among the people.

Wipro currently offers mobile software-product-realization and consulting services to Forum Nokia community members. Its services can be provided either from India or from any of its global locations. It is also a Symbian Platinum Partner and a Symbian Competence Center. According to the analysts, the deal between the two companies would not be that interesting as various network operators are looking forward to offer 3G services.

1: The technology is already being well tested in the global market and most of the China development Centres have launched their cheap varients in the market.The only hitch they have is the mindset of quality. Once the chinese mobiles overcome this bottleneck, Wipro and Nokia would have to run for their R & D money. However, let us hope for the best.

2: Wipro's acquisition will only strengthen its position in the technology field. afterall Nokia's presence in mobile space is wellknown.. and this only increases the credibility of Wipro.. once it begins to offer the service.
