Nokia Delivers Database for Vodafone India’s 200M Subs
Nokia completed the modernization of a Home Location Register (HLR) database for Vodafone India SuperNet. The company described the project as world’s largest HLR upgrade, as its consolidated databases across 17 circles covering over 200 million entries. The number of database hosting nodes was also reduced from 46 to 12, improving efficiencies, enhancing performance and optimizing costs.
As part of the project, Nokia implemented its Subscriber Data Management (SDM) solution, which features Nokia’s One-NDS (Network Directory Server), thereby consolidating network-related subscriber data into a single unified platform to be shared across multiple applications. Nokia’s Systems Integration Services team seamlessly migrated the HLR database without disruption to Vodafone India’s network and its 200 million subscribers, efficiently meeting a challenging deadline with the highest quality.
Nokia’s SDM technology’s geo-redundancy feature ensures that the subscriber database of one location is backed-up in the HLR of another in case of any incident like a network upgrade or natural disaster.

You just read about Nokia. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
Infinera built Coherent optical transport, photonic integration and DCI. What became of it?
Infinera brought Coherent optical transport, photonic integration and DCI to Optical. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by Nokia for US$2.3B. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside Nokia today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
You just read about All. A technology from the archive that helped get us here:
Google/Alphabet Project Loon served 2011–2021. What ultimately replaced it?
Google/Alphabet Project Loon solar-powered balloons drifting in the stratosphere (~20 km), steering by rising and falling into different wind layers, relaying LTE from ground stations to phones far below. Its job passed to Unit economics — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
