Nokia Joins Avanci EV Charger Program, Streamlining Cellular Tech Licensing
Nokia contributes standard-essential cellular patents to single-license platform covering more than 50 licensors.
Telecom giant Nokia has joined the Avanci EV Charger program as a licensor, bringing its standard-essential cellular patents to the program's streamlined licensing platform for EV charger manufacturers.
What Happened
The Avanci EV Charger program offers manufacturers a single license covering essential 4G, 3G and 2G cellular patents from more than 50 licensors. Licenses are available at published rates paid once for the lifetime of each charger, covering products ranging from home chargers to multi-outlet public charging systems. Nokia contributes its portfolio of standard-essential patents for cellular connectivity to the program.
Why It Matters
The expansion of connected EV charging infrastructure makes efficient access to cellular technologies increasingly important for manufacturers developing networked chargers. By joining Avanci's platform, Nokia can make its innovations more readily available through a streamlined licensing solution. The addition of Nokia as a licensor increases the value of the program for manufacturers seeking simplified access to cellular patents across both home and public charging applications.
The Bottom Line
Nokia's participation in the Avanci EV Charger program adds another licensor to a platform that now covers more than 50 patent holders offering cellular connectivity licensing for connected EV chargers.
