Telecommunications giant Nokia on Tuesday signed an agreement to acquire Fenix Group, a privately held company that specializes in tactical 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) communications solutions for the defense communities, said an official press release.
Fenix Group is a leading provider of innovative tactical communications products, including the Banshee product family.
The systems are designed to provide high-speed, low latency data connections to many devices and users simultaneously, making them ideal for supporting a wide range of military applications. Fenix Group is a portfolio company of Enlightenment Capital.
The addition of Fenix’s tactical communications capabilities will allow Nokia to offer a more comprehensive suite of solutions to its defense customers.
“The acquisition of Fenix Group is an important milestone in our strategy to grow our defense business. We are excited to welcome Fenix to the Nokia family, and we look forward to working together to create a more stable world with high-performance, secure, and reliable communications solutions,” said Tommi Uitto, President of Mobile Networks of Nokia.

We believe that by combining our capabilities, we can create even more innovative and effective solutions for our defense customers,” said Dave Peterson, Chief Executive Officer of Fenix Group.
