Nokia announced on Thursday its decision to sell its submarine networks business, Alcatel Submarine Networks (ASN), to the French state for a sum of 350 million euros ($374 million).

Nokia revealed that this divestiture would lead to a decrease of approximately 1 billion euros in sales from its Network Infrastructure Business Group. Despite this reduction, the company remains optimistic about maintaining its financial stability and continuing to focus on its core strengths and growth areas.
The transaction is anticipated to be finalized either by the end of 2024 or at the start of 2025, according to Nokia’s timeline. This sale aligns with Nokia’s broader strategy to streamline its operations and concentrate on its primary business units, ensuring it remains competitive and forward-looking in the rapidly evolving tech landscape.
For the French state, this acquisition represents a strategic investment in submarine network technology, which is crucial for global communications infrastructure. This move could potentially enhance France’s capabilities in the sector, reinforcing its position in the global telecommunications arena.
As the deal progresses, industry watchers will be keenly observing how both Nokia and the French state leverage this transition to their advantage, shaping the future of global telecommunications infrastructure.
