ATLANTA, June 5 (UPI) -- Nokia Monday acquired LCC International's U.S. deployment business.
LLC, a voice and data management solution provider to wireless companies with operations worldwide, will be transferring its U.S. deployment operations to the Finnish mobile giant, which includes civil works and site acquisition services.
"This agreement is a direct result of LCC's strategy and plan that was announced earlier this year," said Dean Douglas, LCC's chief executive officer. "With LCC's exit from the deployment business in the U.S., we can now focus our resources to support the growing and expanding engineering and consulting services opportunities both domestically and internationally in the wireless marketplace."
Meanwhile, Nokia said that it will be able to deliver a complete range of services from deployment operations to consulting and integration to managed services as a result of the buyout.
"Nokia's networks division has shown steady growth in North America, and (Monday's) announcement with LCC demonstrates a continuation of that growth and our commitment to providing services that address our customer's needs in North America," said Mark Louison, senior vice president of networks in North America.
