The Finland based telecom equipment provider Nokia Siemens Networks has expanded its R&D center, making Bangalore one of the largest centers of the company. “By moving to a larger, more modern facility, it will not only enhance our development efforts, but will also help transfer the product innovation in one center across our whole business,” says Johann Haslinger, Head of Nokia Siemens R&D Center, Bangalore.

Based at the Manyata Business Park of Bangalore, the new center has 2,300 employees. “The new center has a capacity of 3,000 engineers, which implies that hiring would continue though it would depend on the business and the demand,” says Urs Pennanen, Head of India Region, Nokia Siemens. This move is strategic to adapt to the level of growth in India where 5,000 base stations are being added every month and Nokia Siemens has already added 1,500 base stations in the country.
