Nokia hopes organizational changes will give it a 5G advantage.
Nokia is reorganizing its internal structure and leadership team with the creation of a new Access Network Division which it believes will help it gain a greater share of the market for 5G equipment.
The idea is that by bringing its mobile and fixed network divisions into a single business unit, Nokia can emphasize the value of its end-to-end capabilities to mobile operators.

The heads of mobile and fixed will report to a new President of Access Networks, who will be appointed in the new year.
Tommi Uitto, a 23-year veteran of Nokia, is the company’s new President of Mobile Networks, replacing Marc Rouanne who will leave the company. A head of Fixed Networks is still to be announced.
"Nokia has a unique advantage in the 5G era with its end-to-end portfolio," said Rajeev Suri, . "By creating a single Access Networks organization that includes both fixed and mobile, we can improve our customer focus, simplify our management structure, and more efficiently leverage our full portfolio.
“Tommi is a strong leader with the right background in both sales and product development and I am pleased that he has accepted this role. He brings deep credibility from across the telecommunications industry and a proven ability to drive product leadership and business performance.”
Additionally, Nokia expects its patents to generate €3 in royalty payments for every 5G smartphone sold.
