Nokia has 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, Cyber Era NG learns. AI-RAN is a key enabler for future business opportunities, network performance and efficiency improvements. This announcement follows Nokia’s recent announcement about completed functional AI-RAN tests with key customers.
We understand 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.
“In order to be ready for the AI Supercycle, networks must deliver deterministic, trusted connectivity with transparency, traceability and safety controls embedded by design. We are working closely with our customers to get there, together. This collaboration with Telia is an important building block in our AI-RAN strategy to build a powerful ecosystem,” said Chief Technology and AI Officer, Nokia Pallavi Mahajan.
“The collaboration with Nokia on AI-RAN use cases is an essential part of our journey on Autonomous Networks and will benefit our customers with increased network performance and reliability,” added Group CTO and Head of Networks, Telia Stefan Jäverbring.
