Nokia

Nokia builds the high performance networks that carriers and large enterprises depend on. We help clients plan and adopt them.

Official Nokia partner, and an independent adviser

What Nokia does

Nokia provides IP routing, optical transport, fixed and data centre networking, used by communications service providers and large enterprises to move data reliably at scale.

Why we partner with Nokia

Our team has deep roots in the telecommunications sector, so we understand the demands carrier grade networking has to meet. We partner with Nokia to help service providers and large enterprises modernise the network underneath everything else.

How we help, and where it fits

Nokia is at its strongest where networks have to carry enormous volumes of traffic without faltering, IP routing, optical transport and data centre interconnect at carrier grade. For communications service providers and the largest enterprises, that reliability and scale are genuinely hard to match. Where it fits less naturally is the smaller enterprise campus or branch, where lighter platforms are usually the better call, and we will tell you when that is the case. Our team has deep roots in telecommunications, so we know how these networks are designed, costed and run. We help you plan and design the network, modernise it without disrupting service, right size what you actually need rather than the headline configuration, and negotiate the commercials. As an official Nokia partner we can supply, implement and support it directly. As an independent adviser, we will still tell you honestly when another approach serves you better.

Frequently asked questions

Is C4C Group an official Nokia partner?

Yes. C4C Group is an official Nokia partner, so we can source, implement and support Nokia for you, not only advise on it. The partnership is genuine and active, which means you get one accountable team for the technology and the commercials.

Can you be an official Nokia partner and still give independent advice?

Yes, and the two work together. We hold official partnerships across many vendors rather than being tied to one, so we recommend what genuinely fits your needs and tell you honestly when Nokia is not the right answer. Our independence is in the recommendation, our partnership is in the delivery and support.

Do you only recommend the vendors you partner with?

No. We partner with technologies we have tested and trust, but we stay vendor neutral. If something outside our partnerships is the better fit for you, we will say so. A C4C recommendation is based on your needs and your numbers, not on a quota.

When does Nokia make sense over an enterprise networking vendor?

When scale and reliability are the deciding factors. Nokia is built for carrier grade IP and optical networks that move very large volumes of traffic with high availability, the kind communications service providers and the largest enterprises depend on. For a typical enterprise campus or branch network, a lighter enterprise platform is usually the better fit. We help you judge honestly which side of that line your network sits on, rather than oversizing it.

Can you help with optical transport and data centre interconnect?

Yes. Optical transport and data centre interconnect are among Nokia’s real strengths, moving data between sites and data centres reliably at scale. We help you plan the design, size it to your actual capacity and growth rather than a generous default, and bring it into service without disrupting what is already running, drawing on our telecommunications background.

Considering Nokia for your business?

We will give you an independent, vendor neutral view on whether it fits, and help you buy and run it well. No quota, no preferred vendor.
