Nokia Acquires Chicago-based Novarra

Nokia announced recently that they acquired the Chicago-based mobile company, Novarra. Novarra offers a mobile browser and service platform. Nokia plans to leverage the platform and mobile browser to deliver enhanced Internet experiences. Novarra has deployed their solution with leading mobile operator and internet services customers globally. Nokia is expecting to offer a new service utilizing the Novarra technology platform later this year.

The acquisition is expected to close in the Q2 of 2010. Following the acquisition, Novarra who has more than 100 employees will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nokia. We are not sure if they will stay in Chicago but I assume so.

    An electrical installer is one who specializes in the electrical wiring of buildings, devices and related equipment. Because electrical appliances are highly sensitive and potentially dangerous, electricians are usually in need for emergency situations and to deal with electrical problems. Electricians can work in residential, or commercial. Residential elctricians work for example fitting a home for electrical cabling and Troubleshooting and repairing electrical problems in a home. Commercial electrical work might involve fitting properties for electrical wiring, doing electrical work en masse for corporations and working aboard planes or ships. An electrician may do a variety of electrical jobs, or they may choose to concentrate on certain areas of electrical management. For instance, some electricians work in the area of the installation of and repairing electrical infrastructures such as power lines and generators. Other electricians may focus on the electrical wiring of ships, airplanes, automobiles, or other areas. Electricians are a essential component of the contemporary day workforce as more and more businesses, residential homes and activities become dependent upon electricity.
