Nokia has signed an agreement to sell its Enterprise Campus Edge business to investment firm AURELIUS. This move is another step in Nokias effort to simplify its portfolio and focus on Nokias connectivity infrastructure businesses. The deal is expected to finish in the half of 2027 pending usual closing conditions and regulatory approvals. The financial terms were not disclosed.
The planned sale will give Enterprise Campus Edge an ownership structure and more operational independence. Enterprise Campus Edge serves enterprise customers worldwide with wireless networks, industrial edge computing and software that supports digital operations.
ECE Serves 900 Customers Worldwide
Nokia Enterprise Campus Edge serves nearly 900 customers in manufacturing, mining, logistics, airports, ports and power generation. Its portfolio includes wireless connectivity, industrial devices, on‑premises operational technology edge and micro‑edge solutions and software applications designed to support industrial AI use cases.
These technologies connect assets and process operational data near the source of the data. For organizations that run factories, mines, transport hubs and other complex facilities this approach can support automation and operational visibility while keeping data inside local infrastructure.
The business operates in a market where reliable connectivity and edge computing are more and more important, to industrial digitalization. Private wireless networks can give connectivity for industrial equipment and connected devices. Edge systems allow some workloads to run near the source of the data of relying only on remote cloud infrastructure.
AURELIUS Plans to Develop ECE as a Standalone Business
When AURELIUS takes ownership ECE will run independently and focus more on strategy. Nokia and AURELIUS say this new setup will let the business answer customer needs faster chase ideas and aid the digital change in factories.
AURELIUS also pointed to 5G, industrial edge computing and AI‑powered industrial automation as growth areas. These technologies can become parts of systems that link machines handle work data and help make workflows more automated.
However the announcement does not specify product launches, investment commitments or financial targets for ECE under its proposed ownership. The business’s future development will depend on how the new structure translates into product investment, customer support and commercial execution.
Nokia Continues to Refine Its Business Portfolio
The agreement fits Nokia’s effort to focus capital and resources on businesses it considers central to its long-term strategy. In July 2026 Nokia reported that both ECE and its Fixed Wireless Access customer-premises equipment business had been classified as discontinued operations from the quarter reflecting plans to exit these activities.
The ECE agreement follows Nokia’s agreement to sell its Fixed Wireless Access CPE business to Inseego. The two transactions reflect the company’s portfolio review although the businesses serve different markets and have distinct product portfolios.
For Nokia the proposed ECE sale represents a move toward a more focused business structure. For AURELIUS the acquisition provides an opportunity to develop an established connectivity business, outside Nokia’s ownership.
Customer and Employee Continuity Remains a Key Consideration

The companies have said that ECE employees are expected to move with the business when the deal closes following laws and procedures. The completion of the transaction still depends on conditions, such as getting regulatory approvals and doing any needed information sharing and discussions with employee representatives. Nokia and AURELIUS have also said they are focused on making sure things stay stable for customers and employees during the change.
For customers who use ECE’s wireless and industrial edge solutions the transition means keeping service going smoothly having reliable technical support and continuing product development will be key. The announcement does not say there will be changes to customer agreements or support plans.
The transaction is expected to close in the half of 2027. Until then the deal remains conditional on meeting all required closing conditions. Its future importance will depend on AURELIUS’s ability to grow ECE’s connectivity offerings while keeping strong ties, with its global customers.
