Nokia Service Router Linux (SR Linux)

Nokia, originally established in the 19th century as a pulp mill company in Finland, evolved throughout the 20th century to become a global leader in telecommunications. The Nokia Service Router Linux (SR Linux) represents the modern era of the brand's pivot toward networking infrastructure and cloud-scale data center solutions. Unlike its consumer era legacy in mobile handsets, SR Linux is a high-performance network operating system designed for modern cloud environments.

While Nokia's hardware is designed globally and manufactured across various sites in Europe, Asia, and the Americas, the software and data models are developed by the company's IP and Optical Networks business groups. Today, Nokia operates as a business-to-business technology power, focusing on the research and development of networking equipment, 5G technology, and enterprise software, largely independent of the consumer mobile phone production that now operates under a brand licensing agreement by HMD Global.
