Nokia announced a collaboration with Telia Finland to co-create on AI-RAN-based use cases. Both companies will jointly develop and test use cases on AI-driven Radio Access Network (RAN) technology to enhance network performance and support the commercialization of AI-enabled applications. AI-RAN is a key enabler for future business opportunities, network performance and efficiency improvements.
The collaboration between Nokia and Telia builds on the transformative potential of AI-RAN in advancing the capabilities of today?s 5G networks. With a clear focus on exploring commercial use cases, the companies will conceptualize and test AI-enabled systems for different industries, including mission critical. At MWC26, Nokia?s booth 3B20 in Hall 3 features multiple live demonstrations of AI-RAN technologies, highlighting their role in enabling cognitive, software-defined radio systems. This includes Vision AI with reasoning capabilities from Vaidio, a delivery robot from ServeRobotics that can transform retail and the use of the radio network itself as a sensor for the physical world.
There will be a demonstration of how spare GPU capacity in the distributed AI-RAN network can be monetized by offering AI compute to external customers. Nokia?s demonstrations also showcase how AI-RAN can optimize network operations, improve energy efficiency and support new AI-driven applications.
