Dixon Technologies, a leading electronic manufacturing services company, has commenced manufacturing fixed broadband devices in India in collaboration with Finnish telecom giant Nokia.
This will tap the demand for fixed broadband services in India, which has surged in recent years, led by the rapid adoption of Fiber to the Home (FTTH) and 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) technologies, said a joint statement.
