what is the meaning of Nokia?

Answer 1

The roots of Nokia go back to the year 1865 with the establishment of a forest industry enterprise in South-Western Finland by mining engineer Fredrik Idestam. Elsewhere, the year 1898 witnessed the foundation of Finnish Rubber Works Ltd, and in 1912 Finnish Cable Works began operations. Gradually, the ownership of these two companies and Nokia began to shift into hands of just a few owners. Finally in 1967 the three companies were merged to form Nokia Corporation.

At the beginning of the 1980s, Nokia strengthened its position in the telecommunications and consumer electronics markets through the acquisitions of Mobira, Salora, Televa and Luxor of Sweden. In 1987, Nokia acquired the consumer electronics operations and part of the component business of the German Standard Elektrik Lorenz, as well as the French consumer electronics company Oceanic. In 1987, Nokia also purchased the Swiss cable machinery company Maillefer.

In the late 1980s, Nokia became the largest Scandinavian information technology company through the acquisition of Ericsson's data systems division. In 1989, Nokia conducted a significant expansion of its cable industry into Continental Europe by acquiring the Dutch cable company NKF.

Since the beginning of the 1990's, Nokia has concentrated on its core business, telecommunications, by divesting its information technology and basic industry operations.
The development of mobile phones has made the devices smaller, their technical design more complex and increased the number of available functions.

When Nokia Talkman was introduced in 1984, few people would have guessed that this bulky and heavy mobile phone would develop into a lightweight and versatile communications tool in the foreseeable future. Today, sending text messages, playing games and picture taking are all part of the everyday life of mobile phone users.

Answer 2

Nokia is a small town on the banks of the Nokianvirta (Kokemäenjoki) River in the region of Tampere and the county of Western Finland, some 15km to the west of Tampere. It has a population of about 28,604 (October 2005).

Answer 3

The name comes from the archaic Finnish word nokia short for nokinäätä (lit. "soot marten") meaning sable, from Old Finnish nois (pl. nokia) for "soot". After sable was hunted to extinction in Finland, the word meant any dark-coated fur animal such as marten which are found in the area to this day. Later still the word referred to furs in general but is no longer used in that sense. The animal is enshrined on the Nokia coat of arms.
