Mobile giants Nokia and Siemens are not just involved in the handset business, but in the equipment side as well. A good deal of global mobile network infrastructure runs over (or between) the hardware and software these two create. So, why not merge these efforts? The two announced they will do just that this morning, creating a joint venture that will be based on Finland.

According to the two companies:

"The combined company is positioned to lead the development and
implementation of revenue-generating and cost-saving products and services
via its scale and global reach. Nokia Siemens Networks will have one of the
world's best research and development teams with the ability to invest in
next generation fixed and mobile product platforms and services. The new
company will have a world-class fixed-mobile convergence capability, a
complementary global base of customers, a deep presence in both developed
and emerging markets, and one of the industry's largest and most
experienced service organizations.
"

Analysts have pointed to pressure from Asian vendors, such as Huawei, and a tougher operating environment as reasons for this announcement. Importantly, but underplayed in today's coverage, is the ability of the JV to fully support "quadruple play" strategies, offering equipment that can manage delivery of broadband, TV, wireless and fixed-line voice.
