Nokia Ends Its InCoax Partnership

Nokia is ending its collaboration with Swedish company InCoax and removing the company’s technology from its customer offering, according to Swedish publication Techtidningen. Nokia said customer interest in the companies’ joint MoCA solution had been too weak.

The solution uses existing coaxial cables in apartment buildings to extend a fiber connection over the final stretch. The decision is a setback for InCoax, based in Lund. The company is now analyzing what the change means for its existing agreements with Nokia.

The companies signed an exclusive five-year agreement in 2024. Under it, InCoax’s technology was to be sold through Nokia’s global organization.

The timing follows a recent milestone: on September 3, InCoax announced that the first live installations under the Nokia collaboration had been activated at a US operator, after extensive development and integration work.
