Reuters reported in May that Nokia was planning to sell the **ASN division** , which is one of the top suppliers of undersea cable networks in the world and is valued at 800 million euros ($944 million).
“We are still in the middle of our strategic review which we have set for ASN, so there’s no update,” Suri told a conference call. Some analysts had expected a decision on the unit alongside the release of Nokia’s interim report released on 26 October.
The unit was bought by Nokia last year as part of its 15.6 billion-euro ($17 billion) acquisition of Franco-American rival Alcatel-Lucent.
