ST Engineering today announced that it has entered into a partnership agreement with Nokia on key technology areas such as 5G and Internet of Things (IoT).
The collaboration will allow both companies to cross sell their solutions, expanding their business offerings to their public and private customers. The joint solution portfolio will place both companies in a better position to pursue untapped business opportunities, as customers get to benefit from a more comprehensive set of technology and connectivity solutions. Some of these solutions include 5G, analytics and automation that will help to enhance their business operations.
