Nokia to acquire Psion plc’s shares in Symbian

Nokia today announced that it has started the process of enabling the transfer of Psion’s shares in Symbian to Nokia. Symbian, owned by a core group of mobile industry players with its independent governance structure, will continue to pursue its fair and non-discriminatory licensing business of the standards–based Symbian operating system (OS).

Continued innovation in services, applications and handsets is required for the growth in the mobile industry. This requires that all parties have the ability to differentiate and add value to their products and services while maintaining end-to-end interoperability. As a founder and shareholder, Nokia is determined to make further investment to support Symbian’s long-term success in the increasingly competitive wireless OS market. The decision to acquire Psion’s shares in Symbian is based on Nokia’s confidence in the Symbian OS as a core platform technology for advanced mobile devices.

The value of the transaction will derive from two parts. A fixed portion of £93.5 million (137.1 MEUR), and a variable payment of £0.84 (1.23 EUR) from Nokia to Psion for each Symbian OS device sold during 2004 and 2005. Upon completion of the transaction, Nokia estimates that its share in Symbian will increase from the current 32.2% up to approximately 63.3%.

“With its advanced and robust operating system, strong customer base and good relationships with operators, Symbian has successfully fulfilled the demanding technical requirements of mobile devices and the diverse needs of the market. It is vital to sustain Symbian’s long-term market success in order to enable healthy competition in the OS market and to stimulate innovation throughout the value chain,” said Pertti Korhonen, Chief Technology Officer, Nokia.

“The Symbian OS has proven its flexibility as an OS platform capable of supporting the demanding needs of the industry. Good examples include the UIQ software platform, the Series 60 Platform, the FOMA UI (user interface) and a number of vendor specific implementations – all running on top of the Symbian platform. This flexibility has resulted in a rich variety of advanced mobile devices enabling both handset manufacturers and operators to differentiate their offerings,” he continued.

The intended transaction is subject to clearance by the competition authorities and approval by Psion plc’s shareholders. Nokia and Psion have started these processes. In addition, other shareholders have proportional pre-emption rights to participate in the acquisition of Psion’s shares. The completion of the transaction is expected to take place within the coming months.

In conjunction with Nokia’s announcement today, Psion has announced its decision to sell its stake in Symbian to Nokia and to focus on developing Psion Teklogix, its core business.

IBM and Nokia Take Mobility Deeper Into the Enterprise

Companies to provide mobile solutions across industries

3GSM, Cannes, Feb 23, 2004 - Forging a tighter bond between the worlds of IT and communications, IBM and Nokia today announced that they will jointly deliver mobile solutions that enable greater workforce mobility.

The combination of Nokia’s Communicator platform and IBM’s mobile software offers increased functionality, such as instant messaging, increased personal productivity, ubiquitous connectivity and superior user experience of enterprise applications into the hands of mobile workers worldwide.

Initially targeted at sales and field force automation in the pharmaceutical, insurance and government industries, early implementers will include Pfizer, Ricoh and Daimler Chrysler. This will allow, for example, field personnel and sales representatives to access work orders and sales manuals from their company servers via Nokia communicators, provide faster and more efficient service, and reduce their cost of sales and services.

The solutions are powered by a mix of IBM software products optimized for the Nokia Communicator platform running on the Symbian Operating System. These include WebSphere Everyplace Access Client, WebSphere Everyplace Connection Manager Client, WebSphere Micro Environment, IBM Tivoli and Lotus Sametime Instant Messaging Client for the Nokia Communicator. These provide access to a wide range of enterprise backend systems, enabling users to maintain a seamless connection to critical information, and enable enterprises and service providers to securely extend a new class of high value applications and services to mobile users. IBM Global Services will provide system integration services for these solutions.

“IBM is committed to supporting a range of devices – on multiple operating systems. The Symbian OS is proving to be a robust enterprise platform for deployment of enterprise class devices,” said Gary Cohen, General Manager, IBM Pervasive Computing Division. “Today’s announcement with Nokia not only underscores the importance of Java in the device arena, it also reflects the importance companies are placing on wireless technology to help extend access to their enterprise applications and infrastructure.”

Together, Nokia and IBM have developed the extremely comprehensive Java ™ environment for the enterprise mobility including J2ME MIDP 2.0 and CDC Personal Profile 1.0 and several other mobile and wireless Java APIs. IBM WebSphere Micro Environment for the Symbian OS will provide a J2ME Personal Profile runtime environment in the new Nokia 9500 Communicator to enable middleware integration and the extension of enterprise services to the mobile space. Developers will be able to use a desktop Java Development Kit, which is compatible with the Java environment in the Nokia Communicator. This will enable them to extend their existing Java-based applications to the device by using the skills and resources they already have.

IBM is also tuning its WebSphere Studio Device Developer software tools to create an environment tailored for efficient development and optimization of enterprise applications that will run on the Nokia Communicators. In addition, IBM Tivoli mobile device solutions allow enterprise customers to extend the same system management software used to manage desktops, laptops and servers

to mobile devices on demand through the Tivoli Provisioning Manager and Tivoli Configuration Manager products. This improves the efficiency of managing the business as mobile devices will be able to receive configuration setting and software application downloads on the fly, without relying on a hard-wired connection to a server or desktop.

“Pfizer has been a long standing customer of Nokia and IBM, utilising the previous Nokia Communicators with sales force automation tools developed by IBM,” said Elina Jaakovlew, Sales Director, Pfizer Finland. “We have been very pleased with lean functionality and increased productivity, as our sales force no longer needs visits to office for reporting or updating their sales data. This has also resulted in more effective customer contact. We are eager to explore the new Nokia Communicator platform and to port our solution on it. With enhanced functionality and easy-to-use security, we believe that the new Nokia 9500 Communicator will become an even more popular tool for our sales force.”

“Efficient maintenance service is essential to success in our business. Ricoh has discovered that equipping the photocopier field service personnel with the previous Nokia Communicators and field force automation tools from IBM has resulted in faster responsiveness to maintenance calls and more efficient routing and work scheduling. Our staff in the field gets their assignments sent directly to their Communicators, which they also use to report accomplished tasks and receive further instructions. We look forward to working with Nokia and IBM on the new Communicator family of products to further improve our efficiency,” said Claude Duvernay, Marketing and Communications Director, Ricoh.

This enterprise mobility platform gives enterprise software vendors, such as Siebel Systems, an opportunity to create more value for their clients in a mobile environment. For example Siebel Pharma, the pharmaceutical industry’s market leading sales force automation solution, can take an advantage of the unique capabilities and ubiquitous network connectivity of the new Nokia 9500 Communicator, launched today.

“The IBM software solutions for this platform enable organizations to give their employees a pervasive access to their Siebel CRM applications using IBM leading capabilities in wireless e-business. “ said Marty Sunde, Vice-President of Alliances at Siebel Systems. “We are delighted to extend our alliance with IBM to deliver this new breed of mobile CRM solution that will be key in an increasingly untethered world.”

“Nokia and IBM are a very complementary match when it comes to extending mobility into the enterprise,” said Niklas Savander, Senior Vice President, Nokia Enterprise Solutions. “We have a long-standing alliance that capitalizes on our respective strengths —Nokia as the leader in mobility and enterprise voice, and IBM as the leader in e-business solutions. We are very pleased to see that the joining of forces of IBM and Nokia brings a broad variety of applications, tools and solutions available to businesses worldwide. Together we have a compelling value proposition for mobilizing business critical processes and freeing workforces to reach new levels of productivity.”

Nokia unveils vision for future of business mobility

Enterprise group plans to accelerate growth and “change the way people work,” benefiting companies, operators and vendors

3GSM CANNES—February 23, 2004— Nokia today announced a strategy for extending mobility to businesses of all sizes. Jorma Ollila, chairman and CEO of Nokia, and Mary McDowell, senior vice president and general manager of Nokia’s new Enterprise Solutions business group, outlined the plan in a press conference here, where the company also announced a new enterprise-grade Communicator platform (see separate release), as well as important new alliances with leading enterprise players.

“Every company, regardless of size, business philosophy, or geographical location, will benefit from mobility,” said McDowell. “Nokia’s approach is to take the best in mobility and marry it with the best of the IT world. We are selling productivity through enhanced mobility to businesses, and to the operator, we are offering a unique opportunity to increase revenues and addressable market size.”

The company already sells a full range of complete mobile voice, connectivity, and security solutions to businesses and institutions. These include enterprise optimised remote access gateways that integrate with leading mobile and fixed devices.

“In any organisation, there are different types of users ranging from the high-end power user through to the basic user,” McDowell stated. “Business mobility solutions to date have really only penetrated the high end-user community, which represents less than five percent of the average workforce. When only a small portion of the workforce has access to effective enterprise mobility solutions, return on investment (ROI) and operator profitability can’t reach their full potential. McDowell cited other critical success factors for growth. “With a variety of devices, networks, operating systems and applications, it is little wonder the majority of companies lack general mobility guidelines or a comprehensive management system. The diverse needs of the enterprise customer aren’t easily met by a one size fits all’ philosophy. Nokia offers a holistic gateway and device platform based approach, where we can deliver both real productivity enhancements for users, and cost control and security for IT.”

McDowell also reaffirmed Nokia’s long-term goal of becoming “the leader in enterprise mobility.” The shortest path to that end, she stated, involves migrating Nokia’s current leadership in enterprise voice to focus on application mobility, cost-efficient mobile voice, and secure mobile connectivity.

Near term, McDowell said Nokia’s opportunities included increasing device penetration and driving business ROI by delivering Nokia’s 6800 family of optimised devices, bundled mobile and fixed business solutions, value based services, business applications, mobile email and Personal Information Management (PIM), and web-enabled services—all while providing secure Intranet access. She also said the company was eager to start pilots of the new Nokia 9500 Communicator.

Beyond the enterprise customer, Nokia believes mobile operators stand to gain the most when business mobility takes off. According to the company, carriers will benefit from a larger addressable market, increased average revenue per user, compatibility and interoperability, roaming and inter-connecting networks, different service and alliance models, and higher device volumes. Operators will also be the clearinghouse to deliver a single bill and service level. Nokia

business optimised devices, enabled with email, PIM, and calendar functionality provide operators with an opportunity to significantly expand the emerging mobile email market while growing the overall market.

From Nokia’s point of view, collaboration will be key. “Nokia’s success in the enterprise market clearly depends on our ability to work strategically with the right players,” McDowell stated. “We’re present at several layers of the IT stack, but Nokia needs to be competitive at each layer, alone or in collaboration.”

As part of this strategy, several Nokia alliances that support the new Communicator platform were announced or reaffirmed at 3GSM, including:

• A joint development plan with IBM to sell wireless solutions that enable greater workforce mobility (see separate release)

• Compatibility with Cisco’s wireless LAN IEEE 802.11 infrastructure and its many enterprise features. “With the Nokia 9500 Communicator handsets embracing the Cisco Compatible Extensions program, Cisco and Nokia are working together to deliver highly secure voice and data over wireless LANs, enabling more enterprise customers to reap the many benefits of going wireless.” said Bill Rossi, vice president and general manager of Cisco’s Wireless Networking Business Unit.

• Collaboration with Symantec on a security client for the Nokia 9500 Communicator and other business devices. Nokia is working closely with Symantec to deliver an integrated client solution for Internet security that will provide an antivirus micro engine, firewall service, updating services and centralized over-the-air management. “Internet security is at the core of widespread enterprise mobile adoption,” said Matthew Moynahan, vice president of product management, client and host security at Symantec. “Nokia’s plan to offer Symantec’s integrated client security solutions on its Communicator platform will provide customers with much of the confidence they require to capitalize on creating an enhanced mobile workforce. Symantec is proud to be part of the industry leading team with which Nokia is collaborating.”

• Collaboration with Computer Associates to provide streamlined management of mobile devices, including automated configuration and inventorying—as well as support for the Nokia 9500 Communicator as an enterprise platform for CA management applications. “CA customers are starting to use Nokia business solutions in a broad range of business contexts,” said Louis Blatt, senior vice president, Unicenter enterprise management. “As a result of our collaboration, these customers will be able to reap maximum benefits from mobile technologies while minimizing their total cost of mobile infrastructure ownership.”

• Continued collaboration with Oracle to develop mobile enterprise solutions, including joint development of open solutions for Oracle’s Collaboration Suite, 9iAS Wireless, E-Business Suite, and compatibility between Nokia business devices and Oracle server platforms. “For over a year, Oracle has been working closely with Nokia to optimise the synergy between Oracle Collaboration Suite and the Nokia Communicator offerings,” said Jacob Christfort, CTO and Vice President of Product Development, Oracle Voice & Mobility Products. “The latest Nokia Communicator offers exciting new functionality which will benefit users of both Oracle Collaboration Suite and Oracle E-Business Suite, as well as developers using the Oracle 10g Platform.”

• Continued collaboration with Hewlett Packard to enable bluetooth wireless connectivity to peripherals such as printers and projectors.

• Collaboration with SAP on SAP® solutions for mobile business on Nokia’s Communicator platform. “SAP recognizes the enterprise-class smart phone capabilities of Nokia’s new Communicator platform.

Nokia and Samsung join forces in bringing push to talk to mass market

Nokia and Samsung today announced a cooperation agreement aimed at bringing Push to talk over Cellular (PoC) technology to the mass market. Based on the cooperation, Samsung plans to introduce push to talk in several of its mobile terminal products during 2004 and 2005, utilizing Nokia’s PoC technology.

Nokia provides Samsung with its push to talk technology as well as interoperability testing and support. Nokia’s push to talk technology is based on open specification and offers a smooth migration path to the upcoming OMA standard. Open specifications and standards based solutions are the key to ensure interoperability and mass market potential for push to talk.

“Nokia’s leading push to talk technology offers us a competitive platform for commercial push to talk terminal products”, says Andrew Park, Vice President, R&D, Samsung. “We are planning to introduce a number of push to talk capable terminals during 2004 and 2005. We believe that the open specifications supported by Nokia are the key to success in bringing this exciting feature to our customers globally”.

Nokia is also a member of the industry consortium that worked together on the PoC requirements that were submitted to the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA), where the actual standardization of PoC will take place, in August 2003. In October 2003, Nokia launched its carrier grade push to talk network products for early market entry. In November 2003, Nokia launched the world’s first push to talk GSM phone, the Nokia 5140. Nokia has been trialling its push to talk technology with over 30 operators globally.

“Leading operators worldwide have shown strong interest towards Push to talk and this year we will see commercial services deployed across the globe”, says Kai Öistämö, Senior Vice President, Mobile Phones, Nokia. “In the future, we expect push to talk to become a standard feature in phones, just like short messaging is today”.

During 2004, Nokia will introduce a full range of push to talk capable GSM phones, including Symbian OS based smartphones. From 2005 onwards push to talk will become available for all Nokia GPRS/WCDMA phones.

With push to talk, mobile phone users can use their mobiles like walkie-talkies, communicating with a selected group or individual with the push of a single button. It is a new direct method for one-on-one or one-to-group communications. Push to talk is especially suited for cases where users need to communicate repeatedly but occasionally with the same group or individual.
