In a world where everyone can be connected, Monika takes a very human approach to technology. History Monika is the market leader in one of the most intense competed branches nowadays – the mobile telecommunication branch. How did it come to this?What is the story of Monika? The history of Monika goes back to 1865.
That was when Freddie Ideates built a wood pulp mill on the banks of the Tamarisk rapids, in Southern Finland. In the ongoing decades Monika expanded their production. Monika built additional mills and also entered continuously new markets and increased product diversity. So there were founded in 191 2 the Finnish Cable Works or 1960 the first electronics department.
In 1 962, it made its first electronic device in-house: a pulse analyzer designed for use in nuclear power plants.The company’s involvement with telecommunications systems also began in the sass, and 1963 it started to develop radio telephones for the army and the emergency services. The electronics 3 apartment went on to sell mainframe computers and run a computer centre to cater for the company[]s IT needs. Later Monika also produced TV’s by 1987 Monika would be the third largest TV manufacturer in Europe), computers, radio telephones, data transfer equipment, radio links and analyzers, and digital telephone exchanges.
Monika would eventually leave consumer electronics behind in the sass. But the telecommunications expertise it developed from the 1 sass onwards would become the core of its future work. 1967 Monika ABA, Finnish Rubber Works and Finnish Cable works merged to create Monika Corporation.
The newly formed Monika Corporation was ideally positioned for a pioneering role in the early evolution of mobile communications. As European telecommunications markets were deregulated and mobile networks became global, Monika led the way with some iconic products.With the launch of the Nordic Mobile Telephone (NM T) service, which was the first international cellular network, a new era for mobile phones began in 1981.

Monika soon introduced the first car phones to the outwork and in 1 982 Ionians first digital telephone switch goes into operation. 1991 the new mobile standard GSM open ups and Ionians equipment is used to make the worlds first GSM call.

Monika became the world’s biggest mobile phone manufacturer by 1998. That was driven by its early investments in GSM technology. With this strategic change in 1992 Monika could achieve a huge increase in sales to North America, South America and Asia. Before this change most of its exports went to Europe, Nordic countries and the Soviet Union. Between 1996 and 2001 , Ionians turnover increased almost fivefold from EURO 6. 5 billion to EURO 31 billion.
The next step in Ionians evolution is to merge Monikaњs networks business and the credentialed operations of Siemens into “Monika Siemens Networks”. 4 For future Monika plans to stay on track to contribute to increased economic growth and quality of life. Monika is aware of future technology and requirements and sees it as a must to equip people with the needed devices. Monika key data As already mentioned above, Monika is with a world market share of approximately 36% world’s largest cell phone manufacturer.
