Finnish telecom equipment maker Nokia is seeing a pick up in orders as its broadband clients race to upgrade networks to meet higher user demand during the COVID-19 pandemic, a company executive said.

"We have seen some upgrades from our customers... but we think a lot of this drive will be more medium term and long term," Motley said.
