Société du Grand Paris (SGP) has selected Nokia’s 5G-ready IP/MPLS multiservice, mobile core, and radio access network (RAN) solutions for the Grand Paris Express metro rail project.
These solutions will help maintain four automated train lines, which connect 200km of Paris and serve up to two million passengers per day.
The contract follows SGP’s implementation of Nokia’s LTE wireless network systems to enable critical network connectivity across three of the new Paris metro lines.
Claimed to be the largest metro rail project in Europe, the Grand Paris Express project will consist of four new lines around Paris and an expansion of line 14.
The project will also involve the construction of 68 new metro stations, as well as the development of new neighbourhoods around these future urban centres.
Nokia said that its multi-service IP/MPLS high-speed network will meet the operational and maintenance requirements of the Grand Paris Express network.
Its private mobile radio solution will facilitate operational communications and indoor/outdoor connectivity across all Grand Paris Express stations, lines, and depots.
The multi-service IP/MPLS network will meet the mission-critical application requirements across the four lines.
Serving as a high-speed backbone, the IP/MPLS communications network will enable high-speed communication between the centralised control centre and the automated stations, lines and depots.
Centralised operations teams will use real-time video surveillance inside the trains to rapidly detect and report issues and threats.
Nokia Enterprise Europe sales vice president Matthieu Bourguignon said: “These projects provide critical high-speed connectivity and performance at all points within the new Grand Paris metro and its operations, giving SGP the highest levels of confidence in its end-to-end Nokia network.
“We are incredibly proud to be selected by SGP as a supplier and excited to deploy our world-leading wireless access, IP/MPLS routing and mobile core solutions as a part of this ambitious project to digitally transform one of Europe’s largest rail systems.”
Everyone’s wondering where Nokia has been in the premium smartphone market. This company sits along with the likes of Motorola, Blackberry, LG, and other phone companies that are way past their prime or not making phones anymore. Regardless, Nokia confirmed that five of its smartphones are going to be getting Android 13 (via GSM Arena).
Nokia’s most premium phones right now are far removed from the current premium smartphones from the likes of Google, Samsung, Apple, and others. These are true-to-form mid-range phones, but that’s what makes them compelling for average consumers. While the hardware is subdued, Nokia does not want them to fall behind in terms of software.
The five phones on this list are on the cheaper side. First off, we have the Nokia X20. This phone will set you back $496 on Amazon. It has a decent 6.67-inch display with a 1080 x 2400 pixel resolution, a maximum of 8GB of RAM, a maximum of 128GB of storage, a 64-megapixel main camera, and a decent 4470mAh battery.
The only downside will be the processor. This is using a Snapdragon 485 G.
Next up, we have Nokia X10 this is a step down from the X20 with a maximum of 6GB of RAM, but it has the same 6.67-inch 1080p+ screen, battery capacity, and the same Snapdragon 480 5G SoC. Aside from the RAM, the camera also sees a drop. We’re looking at a 48-megapixel camera.
Third, we have the Nokia XR20. It has the same 6.67-inch 1080 x 2400 display, the same maximum of 6GB of RAM, and the same Snapdragon 480 5G SoC. It has a slightly smaller 4630mAh battery and a 48-megapixel main camera.
Moving further down the line, we have the Nokia G50. This is the first phone on the list that we see with a drop in display resolution (6.82-inch, 720 x 1560).
It caps out at 6GB of RAM, but it has the biggest battery out of the bunch, a 5000mAh battery. That’s about the average size for flagship smartphones. As for the processor, it still uses the Snapdragon 480 5G SoC.
Last but not least, we have the Nokia G11 Plus. The display is ever so slightly more pixel-dense than the Nokia G50. It’s a 6.52-inch display with a resolution of 720 by 1600. The camera got a slight bump up to 50 megapixels, however the RAM caps out at 4GB. There’s a 5000mAh battery.
We don’t know exactly when these Nokia phones will get Android 13, but it shouldn’t be too long.
Nokia revealed recently that it has completed migration to Android 12 and if any smartphone hasn’t received the OS, won’t be getting it in the future. The announcement was followed by a confirmation of which devices are first in line for Android 13.
The list includes five devices - Nokia X10 and Nokia X20, Nokia XR20, Nokia G50, and Nokia G11 Plus, all of them on the cheaper side of the price spectrum.
Nokia X20 • Nokia X10 • Nokia XR20 • Nokia G50 • Nokia G11 Plus
The trio of new smartphones, C31, G60 5G, and X30 5G, announced back in September at IFA 2022 in Berlin, are not on the list, but that's because the last two aren't yet available in the China. The company already confirmed their update plans and Android 13 is definitely coming.
The other five Nokia phones confirmed today meet the Android Enterprise Recommended requirements, which are business-oriented, such as bulk deployment with zero-touch enrollment, quick Android security updates (within 90 days of release from Google), physical availability of enough units, and “consistent application experience”.

Introduction
Play the long game. The Nokia X30's tagline hints that it's big on preserving the environment, and Nokia calls it their 'most eco-friendly phone yet'. That includes recycled (and recyclable) materials wherever possible, but also 3 years of warranty and software support. And in a lineup with no true flagship as the others understand it, the X30 sort of needs to take on that responsibility.
It's not a flagship chipset that powers the X30 - the Snapdragon 695 is anything but. A camera system with no telephoto doesn't scream 'high-end' either. Certain small omissions like stereo speakers and wireless charging continue to corner the X30 into a conventional midranger position.
But for around €450 for the base 6GB/128GB version, you're getting a pretty interesting spec sheet. Proper dust and water protection is still a rare sight in the midrange, as is Gorilla Glass Victus display protection - both present here. And since we mentioned it, the display is now OLED - it's been three and a half years since the last such screen on a Nokia.
Circling back to the cameras and with an already price-adjusted perspective, things aren't looking all that bleak after all. Most notably, the 50MP main unit on the back uses the same sensor as the Galaxy S22 - that's flagship enough. The other two cameras aren't as remarkable - the 13MP ultrawide is missing AF and with no dedicated 'macro' sidekick closeups are seemingly a no-go, and the 16MP selfie camera is neither here nor there - but it all amounts to a very reasonable configuration.
'Reasonable' can also describe other bits about the X30. Smallish at first sight, the battery capacity should be enough for the not overly-demanding internals, and the 33W charging capability looks set to deliver decently speedy top-ups without going into extremes. Alongside the OLED display, the under-display fingerprint sensor makes a return too.

Nokia X30 unboxing
As part of the pledge for environmentalism, the Nokia X3 arrives in a recycled brownish cardboard box that's half-height - you know what that means. The charger is missing, but a cable is still provided, and that's about it. Nokia will sell you a transparent soft silicone case separately (itself packaged in recycled paper), but that's not included with the phone.
Retail package • Optional case
Mind you, there's a whole lot of paperwork inside the box, which itself took some paper and effort to make, not to mention it potentially contributed to the overall volume - a one-page Quick start guide and a QR code with a link to the rest of the stuff online would have looked (and, possibly, been) more sustainable. Then again, various regulators may be mandating this or that piece of physical literature and thus getting in the way of saving a tree, so we're not ready to blame it all on Nokia.

According to GSM Arena, a tech news website, the announcement was followed by a confirmation of which devices are first in line for Android 13.
The list includes five devices - Nokia X10 and Nokia X20, Nokia XR20, Nokia G50, and Nokia G11 Plus, all of them on the cheaper side of the price spectrum.

Kit vendor Nokia looks to expand its brain trust with a new research facility looking at 5G and 6G.
Nokia’s shiny new R&D centre at its Portuguese campus in Amadora has been set up in order to ‘develop technology to power 5G communications and lay the foundations for 6G networks,’ and will apparently create 100 new jobs within the next two years.
The new influx of boffins will be tasked with overseeing ‘the full cycle of embedded and real-time software development from early analysis to final delivery.’ Nokia is looking to staff the place with new software engineers, product owners and technical leads to work alongside its existing workforce.
Last year Nokia signed a deal with the Portuguese government to open a Global Business Services Centre and’ participate in initiatives that promote digital skills’.
“The new research and development centre in Portugal demonstrates Nokia’s continued investment in the future of wireless communications,” said Tommi Uitto, President of Nokia Mobile Networks. “The centre’s vital work will continue to expand the possibilities of mobile networks, critical for seamlessly connecting people, businesses, and industries. Importantly, this will be a hub for innovation, reinforcing our 5G technology leadership and helping to realize our ambition to become a 6G pioneer.”
Sérgio Catalão, Country Manager of Nokia Portugal added: “The announcement made today is a testament to the continued solid operation of Nokia in the country, reinforced once again by a collaboration with the Portuguese Government. This project reinforces our commitment to supporting Portugal’s digital transformation with our market-leading technology by working in close cooperation with academia, as well as bolstering our team with the best talent.”
There are by now quite a few of these 5G research labs set up by the two big kit vendors as well as operators and all sorts of telecoms adjacent firms. Presumably part of what they are trying to achieve is to discover and then capitalise on some sort of wonder-app or genuinely game changing 5G use case that will turn everyone’s heads.
Since such a thing remains to be seen, certainly on the consumer side, it might get harder and harder to keep up the ‘5G will change the world’ marketing vibe – which might explain why a lot of them now seem to be rolling in some 6G research to the new facilities as well, as Ericsson announced it was doing with its new facility in the UK last week.
