Nokia would buy Comptel once Alcatel-Lucent deal is completed
Nokia [NYSE:NOK], the Finnish telecom equipment company would only buy Comptel, the Finnish telecoms software company, once its merger with Alcatel-Lucent is completed, according to Arvopaperi.
The Finnish language piece wrote, citing an analyst named Mika Rautanen from Inderes, who said that Comptel’s fulfillment and analysis software could be valuable to an equipment vendor.
He said that it is unlikely any acquisition will take place before the deal to acquire Alcatel-Lucent is finalised in April next year. He added that it is likely Nokia will have to make complementary acquisitions in telecoms software.
Comptel had sales of EUR 82m in 2014.
