Nokia's computer division "Nokia Data" produced a series of personal computers called the "MikroMikko"

Nokia’s computer division, Nokia Data, developed and released a series of personal computers under the name “MikroMikko” during the early 1980s, marking the company’s expansion into the growing microcomputer market. The first model, the MikroMikko 1 (MM1), was introduced in 1981 and was based on the Intel 8085 processor. It was designed primarily for business and professional use, reflecting the increasing demand for office computing solutions across Europe at the time. The MikroMikko series evolved throughout the 1980s with several upgraded models, including systems based on Intel 8088 and later processors, improving performance and compatibility with emerging software standards such as MS-DOS. These computers were manufactured in Finland and were used widely in Nordic countries, particularly in business environments and public sector institutions. Nokia Data also provided networking solutions and peripherals, positioning itself as a supplier of integrated office systems rather than standalone machines. Despite its early activity in personal computing, Nokia eventually exited the computer business in the early 1990s. In 1991, Nokia Data was sold to the UK-based International Computers Limited (ICL), which later became part of Fujitsu. The MikroMikko line continued briefly under new ownership before being phased out as the personal computer market consolidated around larger global manufacturers. #Nokia #MikroMikko #PersonalComputers #TechHistory #Finland
