(AWP Alliance News) - Nokia launched a sovereign AI platform with NVIDIA to help telecom operators automate network operations while retaining control over operational data and AI decisions. The platform expands their collaboration beyond radio networks into broader network automation.
New AI-RAN capabilities aim to increase capacity from existing spectrum and support new commercial AI services. Initial laboratory tests with Deutsche Telekom showed typical uplink throughput gains of 10-15%, with field validation planned.
Elisa expects to evaluate commercial AI-RAN services in 2027, while BT is preparing a live-network trial in Birmingham that year.
