Nokia Oyj Chief Executive Officer Rajeev Suri said he’s getting more inquiries from phone carriers about the Finnish company’s telecom equipment as governments weigh restrictions on its top rival, Huawei Technologies Co.

“We are getting more interest; there are concerns and also some uncertainty,” Suri said in an interview with Bloomberg TV on Tuesday from MWC Barcelona, the telecom industry’s biggest show. “We will be there for our customers when they need us.”
