Finnish telecommunications firm Nokia is reorganising its structure to reflect its focus on 5G. Its head of mobile networks, Marc Rouanne, is being replaced by radio technologies expert Tommi Uitto as the company gets ready to merge its mobile and fixed network business groups into a new unit called access networks. The changes demonstrate a focus on mobile telecommunications, which account for around 1.7 percent of Nokia's revenue, and signal preparations for the expected growth in demand for the next generation of mobile networks, 5G. Rouanne's departure followed that of its head of patents, who resigned in October.
