Nokia completes sale of Alcatel Submarine Networks to France

Last June, Nokia announced the planned sale of ASN, simultaneously announcing the purchase of Infinera for $2.3 billion. Both transactions will allow the Finnish company to concentrate its activities in the network infrastructure segment. The corresponding business line consists of three divisions: Fixed Networks, IP Networks and Optical Networks.

With a number of mergers and acquisitions, ASN’s history dates back to the late 1800s. Modern Alcatel-Lucent was purchased by Nokia in 2015. In total, ASN has laid more than 750 thousand km of submarine cables around the world. The company’s fleet consists of seven specialized vessels. ASN is confident that the transition to the management of APE will allow the company to become a strong player in the global market under the patronage of the French state.
