NSN sells another piece of business, this time to Accenture

Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) has sold its IPTV business to Accenture, the latest in a line of divestures designed to concentrate the vendor’s focus on the mobile broadband space.

Accenture is to integrate the business with its own Accenture Video Solution – a software product and a suite of services that enables companies to launch over-the-top TV and services. Financial terms were not disclosed.
In the past year, NSN has sold its WiMAX unit to NewNet Communication Technologies, its Expedience fixed-wireless broadband business to CN Tetragen, its fixed line broadband access unit to Adtran and microwave transport business to DragonWave.

It is also thought to be close to finalising a sale of its business support systems (BSS) division, with Ericsson and Amdocs said to be among the interested acquirers.
