Finnish telecommunications vendor Nokia has partnered with Vodafone New Zealand to develop new applications and services enabled by Nokia’s mobile network and technology.

Demand for firewall solutions drove the total firewall market to surge 14% year-on-year to approximately US$3 billion ($4.6 billion) in quarterly revenue in 2Q22 – which would have been higher had hardware appliance vendors kept pace with demand, according to market research firm Dell’Oro Group.
