The planned investment over multiple years is in addition to Nokia\u2019s $2.3 billion investment in U.S. manufacturing, R&amp;D, and AI connectivity through its purchase of Infinera. Additionally, Infinera had previously announced a $456 million investment for two U.S. manufacturing facilities, which received CHIPS Act incentives.<br \/>\nNokia expects to invest around $3.5 billion in U.S. R&amp;D, reflecting the company\u2019s strong commitment to advancing the next generation of connectivity and AI technology across all facets of the network, including mobile, fixed, IP, optical, data center networking technologies, and mission-critical\/defense solutions. Nokia is committed to continuing the creation of groundbreaking technologies in the U.S., following in the footsteps of its award-winning Nokia Bell Labs headquartered in New Jersey. For over a century, the scientists and engineers at Nokia Bell Labs have pioneered technological innovations from the invention of the transistor to advancements in digital communications and now AI.<br \/>\nAbout $500 million in U.S. capital expenditures will be invested in manufacturing and research and development in U.S. states that include Texas, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.<br \/>\nThe U.S. investment plan will strengthen Nokia\u2019s comprehensive suite of AI-optimized networking solutions, as well as its industry-leading R&amp;D in advanced networking technologies, including automation, quantum-safe networks, semiconductor manufacturing, testing, and packaging, and state-of-the-art material sciences.<br \/>\n\u201cNokia\u2019s $4 billion investment is another Trump administration win for America,\u201d said Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick. \u201cTheir investment in manufacturing, packaging, and R&amp;D for optical chips means the most innovative technologies that power AI, data centers, and critical national security applications will be developed and built here in the U.S.A.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cNokia innovation and technologies are foundational to today\u2019s critical network infrastructure. Our expanded investment will help strengthen the nation\u2019s capacity to deliver greater security, productivity, and prosperity through AI-optimized connectivity at scale, while advancing the newest research and innovation that will shape the future of networking for the years to come,\u201d said Nokia President and CEO, Justin Hotard.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #999999;\"><em>Above, Justin Hotard, CEO, Nokia<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nokia to further support domestic production of mobile, fixed access, IP, optical networking, and defense solutions, and strengthen R&amp;D in advanced networking technologies Nokia, in collaboration with the Trump administration, announced plans to expand its U.S. R&amp;D and manufacturing capabilities, investing $4 billion to accelerate innovation in AI-ready mobile, fixed access, IP, optical, and data &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/telecomkh.info\/?p=23276\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> \u00abNokia plans to expand U.S. investment by $4 billion in R&#038;D and manufacturing for AI-ready network connectivity\u00bb<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":23277,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[40,59],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/telecomkh.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23276"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/telecomkh.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/telecomkh.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/telecomkh.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/telecomkh.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=23276"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/telecomkh.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23276\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23278,"href":"https:\/\/telecomkh.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23276\/revisions\/23278"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/telecomkh.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/23277"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/telecomkh.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=23276"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/telecomkh.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=23276"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/telecomkh.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=23276"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
