Nokia is planning to sell its enterprise and campus edge business to focus on mission-critical private networking, as new CEO Justin Rotard aims to secure larger contracts while still supporting campus deployments through partners. This strategic shift comes amid significant growth in the private 5G market, which added approximately 1,300 projects in 2025 and is projected to exceed $7.2 billion in spending by 2028. Analysts expect this narrower focus to influence growth rates for Nokia's private wireless business compared to competitors like Ericsson.
