A superior global IoT network presence
Making our mark in the smartphone business
Our story began in 2016 when HMD Global was established. The first move was entering the smartphone business in collaboration with our strategic partner, Nokia.
In just 11 months, we released our first 11 phones to customers around the world. Featuring five feature phones and 6 Android™ smartphones, it was a range that offered choice and reliability to every user segment.
We established 50 offices worldwide in our first 12 months, quickly securing a robust foothold in the global market. Jump to today, and we are still going strong, expanding our markets with backing from our top international strategic partners.
Helping
enterprises reap the benefits of IoT
But we wanted to do more to advance our extensive expertise in connectivity and saw the emergence of IoT for business as the perfect opportunity.
In 2020, HDM Global launched the first connectivity product, HMD Connect, providing access to 600 networks globally for consumers travelling the world. Later that year, we launched HMD Connect Pro, dedicated to helping build comprehensive IoT solutions for enterprises.
We aim to be one of the world’s leading providers of IoT connectivity. We want to be your partner of choice, whether you are a startup with hopes for the future or an established, successful enterprise in multiple countries.
To achive that ambition, we have teamed up with Nokia WING.
Nokia WING provides managed IoT connectivity with assured service levels and offers the most extensive global footprint of IoT infrastructure available today.
In partnership with Nokia WING and other global partners, we have built the HMD Global Network. A network that gives you access to +200 destinations globally, all managed from your own personalised Management Hub.
