Nokia plans network solution centre in Chennai

Nokia is planning to set up a global network solution centre in Chennai.

The centre, which will offer network services to global customers, will be operational in the first quarter of next year with 100 professionals.

"The centre will provide services for managing networks in Asia-Pacific, Europe and Africa, and would also serve Nokia's 3G customers outside India," Bosco Novak, senior vice president of Nokia Networks, said.

Novak, however, did not disclose the amount of investment in the facility, but added that it would be in addition to the over $150 million investment in the manufacturing plant also coming up in Chennai.
