Espoo, Finland – Nokia today announced that it signed a four-year contract extension with Orange France to upgrade its 5G radio infrastructure with Nokia's energy-efficient AirScale portfolio. The new deal will deliver an enhanced customer experience with best-in-class speeds, capacity, and performance across Orange's footprint in Southeastern and Western France. Orange will also trial Nokia's 5G Cloud RAN solutions to assess the transition of its network towards Cloud RAN technology
Under the deal, Nokia will supply equipment from its industry-leading O-RAN-compliant 5G AirScale portfolio. This includes Nokia's next-generation industry-leading, high-capacity AirScale baseband solutions, lightweight, and high-output Massive MIMO Habrok radios, and Nokia's Pandion portfolio of FDD multiband remote radio heads to cover all use cases and deployment scenarios. These are all powered by its energy-efficient ReefShark System-on-Chip technology and combine to provide superior coverage and capacity. Nokia will also supply its AI-powered radio network management solution, MantaRay NM, which supports all radio and mobile core technologies.
Orange will also trial Nokia's 5G Cloud RAN solutions. Nokia is helping its global customers to seamlessly transition to Cloud RAN technology with future-proof solutions that drive innovation for CSPs and enterprises. Nokia's comprehensive anyRAN approach provides the best choice of strategic options for their RAN evolution with purpose-built, hybrid, or Cloud RAN solutions, enabling customers to evolve their networks and continue to deliver maximum field performance.
Emmanuel Lugagne Delpon, CTO at Orange France, commented: 'This new contract extension with Nokia and their industry-leading equipment portfolio will support our pioneering efforts to drive superior customer experience further, reduce our environmental footprint, and make our network as energy efficient as possible.'
Tommi Uitto, President of Mobile Networks at Nokia, said: 'We are excited to continue our long-standing partnership with Orange France and contribute positively towards their network performance, sustainability goals, and commitment to net carbon neutrality. Our industry-leading, energy-efficient AirScale portfolio and AI-powered MantaRay network management solution will enhance Orange's network performance and deliver premium connectivity experiences to Orange customers.'

Reaction to Trump's 35 per cent tariffs on Canada
'Mr. Carney gave in on key issues, including scrapping the digital services tax on multi-billionaire tech giants, committing to NATO's excessive 5 per cent target, and violating Canadians' privacy rights by signing up to Trump's ominous ICE security state with Bill C-2. But none of this worked. Instead, Trump has slapped Canada with a 35 per cent tariff and continued his attack on our country and workers.' 'We are pleased to see that CUSMA-compliant goods remain tariff-free, including the vast majority of goods Alberta sells to the U.S. such as all oil and gas and agricultural products. That said, it's also disappointing to see tariffs on other Canadian goods increase to 35 per cent. These tariffs hurt both Canadian and American businesses and workers, and they weaken one of the most important trade and security alliances in the world.' 'The White House fact sheet should be called a fact-less sheet when it comes to basing trade decisions about Canada on the fentanyl emergency … The Carney government is right to prioritize a strong, future-focused deal over a rushed one. A little more time now can deliver lasting benefits for an integrated North American economy — and that's well worth the wait.' 'The hike in U.S. tariffs to 35 per cent will harm small businesses on both sides of the border. The fentanyl rationale is even more ridiculous than the decision itself. While it is good news that most Canadian exports will remain tariff-free due to the CUSMA/USMCA exemption, the uncertainty alone will continue to take a toll on Canada's small businesses.'

NextNav and Oscilloquartz Partner to Advance 5G Based Timing Solutions for Critical Infrastructure
New collaboration to demonstrate how terrestrial 5G-based timing can provide scalable solutions to complement and backup GPS RESTON, Va., August 01, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NextNav, a leader in resilient Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) technologies, today announced a strategic partnership with Oscilloquartz, an Adtran company and global leader in time synchronization solutions. The companies will showcase how 5G-powered terrestrial PNT and Oscilloquartz's proven timing technology could enable a scalable complement and backup to GPS capable of keeping critical systems like data centers, utilities, and emergency services running during outages. This collaboration is intended to lead to a complementary and backup timing service layer to GPS, leveraging existing 5G infrastructure to distribute accurate, UTC-aligned time both indoors and outdoors. By fusing Oscilloquartz's best-in-class synchronization equipment with NextNav's terrestrial 5G PNT solution, the partnership will enable greater resiliency by adding an additional timing source to ensure end users are not dependent on a single timing source. "This partnership is a foundational step toward realizing a systems-of-systems approach to PNT resiliency that helps address an urgent national security and public safety need," said Sidd Chenumolu, Chief Business Development Officer. "Together with Oscilloquartz, we're enabling diverse, standards-based timing sources to ensure continuity and security for critical applications — from emergency services to utilities." This joint effort responds to a growing market demand for secure, redundant timing solutions amid real-world threats to GPS. By aligning with the ongoing FCC efforts to identify complementary PNT technologies, NextNav and Oscilloquartz are setting the stage to enable a terrestrial 5G-powered 3D PNT solution that advances both private-sector innovation and supports national security priorities. "Our expertise in delivering resilient synchronization solutions built on diverse cPNT sources makes this collaboration with NextNav a natural fit," commented Gil Biran, GM of Oscilloquartz, Adtran. "Together, we're helping to strengthen national infrastructure with secure, GPS-independent timing that supports continuity even in the face of GNSS disruption." The demonstration of integrated terrestrial timing will serve as a proof point for 5G-based timing synchronization and serves as a template for future widescale deployments. It's a forward-looking example of how the timing industry and NextNav can work together to reduce reliance on a single source of timing from GPS and increase national PNT resilience. About NextNav NextNav Inc. (Nasdaq: NN) is a leader in next-generation 3D Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) solutions. As the nation's largest license holder in a spectrum band expressly designated for terrestrial positioning services, NextNav is uniquely positioned to enable a widescale terrestrial complement and backup to GPS. Leveraging licensed low-band spectrum and the global 5G ecosystem, NextNav is focused on delivering an accurate, reliable, and resilient 3D PNT solution to protect national security, public safety, and the economy.
