Hi, if no one else makes corrections to this page as needed to address the issues in the banners, I will make them as needed. It would be better if someone else would do so as Enea is a client (see disclosure above), even though help with this page is unrelated to my work for them. Note: at this point, I have not made any changes to the content, therefore the banners address issues of prior editors. Any changes I do make will be flagged with my user ID so you can review them. --Wilberterra

"OSE is a Closed-source proprietarily licensed software released on 20 March 2018." This makes it sound like the first release of OSE was in 2018. That is not true as it goes back a long way. (The '90s?). Perhaps that is the latest release but that would be hard to keep up to date. I suggest the date show the first released date or removed. I believe OSE was the first version of the OS. I also remember talking to Enea about OSEck in the very early 2000s so the statement that the first release was 2009 is wrong as well. The reference for the "first release" is a press release for the first release of multi-core not the first release of the OS. According to their web page OSE was "launched" in 1985. This probably needs a 2nd source? ^[1] WmMills (talk) 11:18, 4 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please revise the first sentence to reflect an up-to-date company description, changing "is a global information technology company with its headquarters in Kista, Sweden that provides real-time operating systems and consulting services." to "supplies software solutions to customers in the telecom and cybersecurity markets. Their cloud-native, 5G-ready products are focused on applications such as data management, video traffic, WiFi services, edge virtualization, traffic intelligence and IoT (Internet of Things) connectivity. The company is headquartered in Kista, Sweden." source https://www.enea.com/ HikerCharlie (talk) 23:10, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am opposed to making this change because, by hitting all the hot buzzwords (cloud-native! 5G-ready!), it reads like a PR brochure (or ad copy) and isn't encyclopedic. My cat is "5G-ready", in that he'll be happy when we get 5G service so he doesn't have to listen to me complain. That doesn't mean that he should be written up in an encyclopedia. As I said before, Wikipedia really isn't the place to promote an employer or client, or their products/services.

That said, another problem I noticed is that, while inserting the promo-speak, someone removed some useful information. That is never a good thing.

Yet another problem is that the proposed text appears to have been lifted nearly directly from the enea.com website:

"... world-leading supplier of innovative software for telecommunications and cybersecurity. Focus areas are cloud-native, 5G-ready products for data management, video traffic optimization, edge virtualization, and traffic intelligence."

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and we need to keep that in mind. — UncleBubba ^{( T @ C )} 00:30, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please remove the reference to a discontinued product "Optima

Most of the information in this Wikipedia article is outdated and not correct. Enea has been transformed through a number of acquisitions over the last couple of years. Would you please consider updating the introduction to:

"Enea is a global supplier of software for telecommunications and cybersecurity. The company´s cloud-native products are used to enable services for mobile subscribers, enterprise customers, and the Internet of Things. More than 3 billion people rely on Enea technologies in their daily lives."

A new section on the acquisitions that helped transform the company would also be useful. For people who are interested in the history of Enea, something along the following lines could work:

ACQUISITIONS

The core business of Enea has changed over time from IT consultancy services and operating systems to software for telecommunications and cybersecurity. A combination of in-house development and acquisitions have enabled this transformation. During the last couple of years, Enea has acquired the following companies: 2016 Qosmos - Enea acquires Network Intelligence software specialist Qosmos (https://www.globenewswire.com/fr/news-release/2016/10/24/881802/0/en/Enea-acquires-Network-Intelligence-software-specialist-Qosmos.html)

2018 Openwave Mobility - EEnea Buys Openwave Mobility for $90M (https://www.sdxcentral.com/articles/news/enea-buys-openwave-mobility-90m-boosts-nfv-play/2018/02/)

2019 Atos Convergence Creators (carve out) - Enea to acquire Convergence Creators software business from Atos (https://www.telecompaper.com/news/enea-to-acquire-convergence-creators-software-business-from-atos--1274122)

2020 Aptilo - Enea buys Aptilo in deal worth around $17M (https://www.lightreading.com/ossbss/enea-buys-aptilo-in-deal-worth-around-$17m/d/d-id/764346

2021 AdaptiveMobile Security - Irish company AdaptiveMobile Security acquired in €45m deal (https://www.irishtimes.com/business/technology/irish-company-adaptivemobilesecurity-acquired-in-45m-deal-1.4622271)

How about adding a better yet neutral introduction 80.187.103.250 (talk) 15:49, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No, we're not going to replace the article with a promotional rewrite. If you have factual changes to suggest, you can make them in a 'change X to Y' format as advised by Wikipedia:Edit requests. But we're not going to replace the article with an advert. - MrOllie (talk) 11:37, 14 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What is OK to write about a company? When I look at other companies, they usually have this info. What they do and what products they have etc. I dont agree that I write adverts. I am not saying anything about if the products are good, market leading etc. Just explaining what industry Enea is in. Testosterossa (talk) 19:47, 14 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

They have information without being written like a sales document. Only marketing people would call something a 'global provider of software solutions', which is only one example of the problem language. MrOllie (talk) 21:08, 14 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It is just a fact that the services is provided globally instead of in certain regions. I changed it to multinational in the edit request below. I guess it would just be easier if you edited my texts instead of me writing them 100 times and getting rejected. It seems like this page will stay outdated. 192.36.1.252 (talk) 08:54, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not the one who works for ENEA here, it isn't my job to fix promotional edits. MrOllie (talk) 16:08, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done. We're not going to turn this article into an advertisement, not all at once and not a little bit at a time. - MrOllie (talk) 16:09, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Is this (Ericsson) also an advertisment? What info about a company is not regarded as advertisment? I am really trying here.., Testosterossa (talk) 17:49, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In 2016, Enea acquired Qosmos, a Paris-based software company that developed technology for IP traffic classification and network intelligence using Deep Packet Inspection (DPI). At the time of the acquisition, Qosmos had approximately 90 employees. Its main product, ixEngine, was used for real-time traffic visibility in applications including network analytics and cybersecurity. The acquisition expanded Enea’s capabilities in Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV). The purchase price was approximately €52.7 million.^[1]

In 2018, Enea acquired Openwave Mobility, a California-based company that developed network functions virtualization (NFV) software for mobile network operators. The company’s products included tools for managing mobile data traffic and subscriber data. The acquisition was valued at approximately USD 90 million..^[2]

In 2019, Enea acquired a software business unit from Atos Convergence Creators, formerly part of Siemens. The acquisition added products related to mobile core network functions, including Unified Data Management (UDM), User Data Repository (UDR), Authentication Server Function (AUSF), Policy Control Function (PCF), Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF), and Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA).^[3]

In 2020, Enea acquired Aptilo Networks, a Swedish company specializing in policy and access control solutions for carrier Wi-Fi and IoT connectivity. The acquisition, valued at SEK 150 million on a cash- and debt-free basis, was financed through a combination of cash and bank loans.^[4]

In 2021, Enea acquired AdaptiveMobile Security, a Dublin-based company focused on mobile network security. Founded in 2006, AdaptiveMobile provided products related to messaging security, signaling protection, and mobile threat intelligence. The company has been involved in industry forums such as the GSMA and the Mobile Ecosystem Forum.^[5]

• Why it should be changed:

It is useful that the public and the industry knows that these companies have been integrated into Enea. So people know that those companies, and the people working there, have not just disappeared. Also important for the history of the company and the industry.
