In a bid to accelerate its slow transition to 5G, Nokia has announced it has entered into a partnership with American Multinational Corporation and technology company, Intel, barely 24 hours after announcing a related partnership with Marvell Technology (MRVL.O).
The Finnish company had revealed its struggle with the unexpectedly torpid development of its Reefshark system on chips (SoC), an innovation which enables a single chip to carry an entire computer system, thus enabling Nokia to produce its equipment more cheaply. This drag has necessitated several partnerships for the company to achieve its goal.
The company said, “Nokia is working with multiple partners to support its ReefShark family of chipsets, which are used in many base station elements.”
Shedding light on its partnership with Marvell Technology, Nokia made it known that Marvell’s industry-leading technology would make a success of the partnership.
“The two companies are developing a new generation of custom system on chip (SoC) and infrastructure processors combining Nokia’s differentiated wireless technology with Marvell’s industry-leading, multi-core ARM processor platforms,’’ Nokia added.
