- Innovation: our solutions are forward-looking and future proof. A scalable portfolio means that we can always offer the right solutions for the customer, based on market and position, helping our customers to create new revenue streams.
- Delivering cost-efficiency: we ensure that the solutions we offer reduce our customers’ operating expenses.

We have 30,000 granted patents and with over 90 license agreements we are a net receiver of royalties. We provide superior-performance networks through a unique combination of hardware and software design.

- Global presence and scale: we have established relationships with every major operator in the world and we are present in more than 180 countries.
Growth levers
We have identified three key levers for growth where we believe we have strong assets to meet market demand:
- Portfolio momentum: focusing on the areas where we have the most growth potential. These are mobile broadband, managed services and OSS and BSS. We expect the majority of growth to come from portfolio momentum.
- Market share gain: building presence in markets that are investing more and where we see technology shifts.
- Mergers, acquisitions and partnering: filling portfolio gaps and entering new growth areas, such as connected devices.
