Nokia Further Expands Future Radio Technology Portfolio

ESPOO, Finland, June 10/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Nokia (NYSE: NOK) today announced the inclusion of a new technology in
its radio access technology portfolio in order to give its customers the
greatest possibility to address all user segments in broadband wireless
access. The future WiMAX solution will provide a high-speed, limited
coverage, data only complement to the fully mobile and standardized 3G voice
and broadband data networks currently being launched globally.

"Nokia's rich portfolio of wireless connectivity offers an attractive
broadband wireless solution for any operator and any consumer. WiMAX
complements the mainstream 3GPP evolution." said Pertti Korhonen, Senior Vice
President and Chief Technology Officer, Nokia.

3GPP technologies, including WCDMA (UMTS) and its evolved versions HSDPA,
HSUPA and Internet-HSPA are the core of Nokia's technology portfolio. HSDPA
will offer downlink speeds of up to 14.4 Mbps and HSUPA uplink speeds of up
to 5.7 Mbps. Internet-HSPA is a network innovation from Nokia, based on the
3GPP standard. Nokia Internet-HSPA, with its simplified network architecture,
is the broadband wireless access solution that evolves from WCDMA
infrastructure technology.

Additionally, Nokia is strongly committed to develop the next evolution
step of 3G technologies, 3.9G, also called UTRAN LTE (Universal Terrestrial
Radio Access Network Long Term Evolution) or Super 3G. Its peak data rates
are targeted to reach up to 100 Mbps in the downlink and 50 Mbps in the
uplink. The standard of 3.9G is to be finalized in 3GPP in mid 2007.

WiMAX provides high-capacity wireless broadband connectivity in
metropolitan areas. WiMAX is promoted by the WiMAX Forum, of which Nokia is a
founding member. WiMAX IEEE 802.16e version, which is expected to be
standardized later this year, will offer increased portability of broadband
Internet access.

All solutions will work with Nokia core networks solutions with its
built-in multi-access support including, for example, authentication,
charging and security.

Nokia continues to monitor the needs of its customers and is ready to add
further new technologies to its portfolio if needed.
