EADS yesterday announced that it has completed its purchase of Nokia's Professional Mobile Radio (PMR) division and that all PMR activities within EADS will be grouped in a new business line called EADS Secure Networks.

The announcement represents the finalization of a deal approved by the European Commission in July.
