Nokia will partner with Sanmina to manufacture broadband network
electronics products in the U.S. at the Sanmina Pleasant Prairie
facility in Wisconsin.
The Finnish telecom equipment company said Thursday that the
deal will see it manufacture fiber-optic broadband network
electronics products and optical modules in the U.S. for use in the
Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment program.
The U.S. government's BEAD program provides funding to expand
high-speed internet access by funding planning, infrastructure
deployment and adoption programs.
"Having access to technology that is built in the U.S. is an
important requirement for states and infrastructure players seeking
to participate in BEAD and the $42.45 billion of available funding
allocated for broadband rollouts to unserved and underserved
communities," Nokia said.
Manufacturing of Nokia's fiber-optic broadband electronics
products is expected to start in 2024 and bring up to 200 new jobs
to the state of Wisconsin.
