Nokia
announced its plan to acquire Alcatel-Lucent at $16.6 billion. The acquisition
would benefit its current market position in telecom equipment business. The
acquisition would also provide leadership in mobile based IoT innovation.
M2M (Machine to Machine) and D2D (Device to
Device) communication technologies are the key enablers for emerging mobile
based IoT (Internet of Things) applications. As the number of patent
applications is a good measure of innovation activities, to evaluate the M2M
and D2D innovation activities, the patent applications covering of key
technologies for M2M and D2D communications are analyzed. More than 1300 patent
applications that are the essential patents for mobile based IoT are identified
1Q 2015 (ref. http://www.techipm.com/alexdb/M2M%20&%20D2D%20Patents%20for%20IoT%20Data%201Q%202015_Intro.pdf).
The
merged Nokia and Alcatel-Lucent ranked third, just behind LG and Ericsson and
ahead of Samsung.
