1. NOKIA – CONNECTING PEOPLE
Timeline – 1865 to 2013
Selection of topic
I have selected this topic because I have a keen interest to know about the earlier mobile phones . mainly interested to know their
sizes and features. Another reason for selecting the topic was the tag line connecting people. “Connecting is about helping people
to feel close to what matters. If we focus on people, and use technology to help people feel close to what matters, then growth will
follow. In a world where everyone can be connected, Nokia takes a very human approach to technology.”
History
In 1912, Arvid Wickström sets up the Finnish Cable Works, the foundation of Nokia’s cable and electronics business.
By the 1960s, Finnish Cable Works – already working closely with Nokia Ab and the Finnish Rubber Works – starts branching out
into electronics. In 1962, it makes its first electronic device in-house: a pulse analyzer for use in nuclear power plants.
In 1963, it starts developing radio telephones for the army and emergency services – Nokia’s first foray into telecommunications. In
time, the company’s MikroMikko becomes the best known computer brand in Finland. And by 1987, Nokia is the third largest TV
manufacturer in Europe.
Nokia Ab, Finnish Rubber Works (1882) and Finnish Cable (1912) Works (jointly owned since 1922) formally merge to create Nokia
Corporation. At the time, Nokia ab was the smallest of the three. Since then, the process of integration of five businesses (rubber,
cable, forestry, electronics, power generation) started. In 1992 Nokia decided to focus on its telecommunications it was the most
probably and important strategic decision on its history.
In 1982 , Mobira senator was released. It looks like a radio with handle on top. The weight was around 10kg. it was used by
squaddies during ambulance strike.
In 1984, Nokia launches the Mobira Talkman portable car phone. Resembling a military field telephone.
In 1985 , technophone were introduced. They were advertised as the smallest, lightest most intelligent mobile phones in the world
at that time, and were the first to fit in a pocket.

In 1987, mobira cityman was released . It´s legendary vintage telephone - first portable telephone from Finland.
It´s the first mobile phone designed for the NMT networks.
In 1865, mining engineer Fredrik Idestam sets up his first wood pulp mill at the Tammerkoski
Rapids in Southwestern Finland. A few years later he opens a second mill on the banks of the
Nokianvirta River, which inspires him to name his company Nokia Ab in 1871.
He was the owner of Nokia industry in 1865. Professionally he was a engineer. He was
considered as the father of Finland paper mills.

Study of form and observation
Basically the phones from 1982 to 1984 were quiet big and heavy. Than from 1985 to 1988 their was again a little drop down in
sizes of mobiles . also the screen were small and they also do not have many features. From 1999 the phones use to become
compact and screens started to become big with more features. Slider phones also came. Gradually now phones have big screens
and are of small sizes which are comfortable to carry and easily fit in our hand and is comfortable. The size b/w speaking and
listening gradually reduced. Also various applications like internet are also available. Mainly the phones are of rectangle shape so
that it can easily fit in hand and easy to carry. Also now days tablet are also available for easy reading purpose since the screens
are big.
3. Materials
About 65-80 per cent of the material content of a mobile phone can be recycled and reused. In addition, recyclers recover energy
by using the plastics as fuel. This can raise the total recovery rate up to 90 per cent. The metals contained in a mobile phone can
be successfully recycled. The first stage of recovery is separation of the shredded metals into different fractions. Aluminum, ferrous
metal and copper fractions are sold to metal refineries. In the refinery, metals are smelted and purified and necessary alloying
elements are added. The finished metal ingots can be sold again for production of new parts.
