Nokia to gain unconditional EU nod for US.3 billion Infinera deal: sources
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter


The European Commission is scheduled to finish its preliminary review of the deal by Feb 26

NOKIA is set to secure unconditional EU antitrust clearance for its US$2.3 billion acquisition of US optical semiconductors and networking equipment maker Infinera, sources with direct knowledge of the matter said on Friday (Feb 14).

Nokia announced the deal in June last year, a move that would make it the second largest vendor in the optical networking market with a 20 per cent share, behind Huawei, which is benefiting from the minimal presence of Western companies in China.

The acquisition will allow Nokia to sell more equipment to big tech companies such as Amazon, Alphabet and Microsoft which are investing billions of US dollars in building new data centres to service the artificial intelligence boom.

The European Commission, which is scheduled to finish its preliminary review of the deal by Feb 26, declined to comment.

Nokia referred to its financial statement released on Jan 30 where it said it expected to close the deal in the first quarter of this year.

Infinera has a leading position in intra data centre communications, which refers to server-to-server communications inside data centres. It gets about 60 per cent of its business from the United States. REUTERS
