Nokia will acquire imaging specialists as well as all technologies and intellectual property from Scalado AB for an undisclosed sum.
Scalado’s portfolio includes imaging technologies for capturing, viewing, processing and sharing images. The company was founded in 2000 and is based in Lund, Sweden.
The Lund site is planned to become a key site for Nokia’s imaging software for smartphones, in addition to Nokia’s existing locations in Espoo and Tampere, Finland.
“Nokia has been working with Scalado for more than ten years and they’ve contributed to many of our leading imaging applications,” said Jo Harlow, executive vice president, Smart Devices at Nokia. “This transaction would enable us to combine our leadership in camera devices with their expertise in imaging, helping people move beyond taking pictures to capturing moments and emotions and then reliving them in many different ways.” http://www.nokia.comhttp://scalado.com

You just read about Nokia. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
Alcatel-Lucent built IP, optical, wireless, fixed access and telecom software. What became of it?
Alcatel-Lucent brought IP, optical, wireless, fixed access and telecom software to Telecom. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by Nokia for €15.6B. 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.
