The Most Advanced Design Key to Success
Nokia designs the most advanced chips in Europe for 5G on the latest IC technology nodes in Finland. The Soc Hub is a collaboration between Tampere University and industrial partners that aims to develop innovative SoCs and boost the partners' competitiveness. The SoC HuB collected Tampere University and companies to create very large SoCs, for example the Headsail SoC with 330M transistors in 2023. The success is based on a three-decades of expertise on FPGA and DSP based multiprocessor system designs in Tampere.
