Nokia Siemens Networks Buys Motorola Network Assets

Nokia Siemens Networks will acquire the majority of Motorola’s wireless network infrastructure assets for US $1.2 billion in cash. The companies expect to complete closing activities by the end of 2010, subject to customary closing conditions including regulatory approvals.

That removes Motorola from a mobile infrastructure business it has been in for decades. The move does not affect the Motorola handset business.
