Nokia and NVIDIA introduced a sovereign agentic AI platform for telco autonomy, along with new AI-RAN capabilities for radio processing. The companies described the work as a step toward bringing AI-native networks into commercial use.

AI-RAN is now being integrated into live networks and is approaching deployment. The effort builds on a commercial AI-RAN platform announced in July and offers operators a route to improve 5G and 5G Advanced networks. Initial laboratory measurements by Deutsche Telekom and Nokia showed typical uplink throughput improvements of 10–15% in AI-based channel estimation.

The companies are applying AI within the 5G signal-processing chain, covering channel estimation, beamforming, multi-user MIMO pairing and scheduling. Nokia AI-native anyRAN software runs on the NVIDIA Aerial RAN Computer and provides a software-defined base for AI-powered radio functions. Nokia’s E3 interface gives distributed applications real-time access to RAN data.

The broader platform is built around three capabilities: AI-led spectral efficiency, integrated sensing and communications, and localized inference. NVIDIA AI Enterprise software and Nemotron models and libraries are being integrated into Nokia’s agentic platform, letting operators build, evaluate, deploy and operate telco-specific agents across radio, core, transport and cloud networks. Glass-box autonomy preserves operator oversight, and agentic guardrails govern how actions are tested and executed.

Pallavi Mahajan, Chief Technology and AI Officer at Nokia, said, “The next era of connectivity will be defined by networks that do far more than connect: They will distribute intelligence, continuously optimize performance and enable entirely new AI-powered services, including the emerging world of physical AI.”

Distributed deployment and evaluation of commercial AI-RAN services by Elisa are expected in 2027, BT is preparing a live-network trial in Birmingham for 2027, and Orange plans to test AI-RAN in lab and real network conditions.
