Nokia extended its partnership with Microsoft to support network automation through an agentic, unified data foundation. The effort focuses on enabling faster, more reliable AI-driven operations for telecom providers.
The collaboration combines Nokia Data Suite and Microsoft Fabric to connect telco data products with a unified analytics and AI environment. The materials state that operators would access high-quality, trusted data in minutes instead of weeks, aiming to reduce the time required for data integration and insight generation.
Nokia Data Suite is described as providing prebuilt, reusable telco data products with glass-box data quality controls and telco-specific semantic modeling. Microsoft Fabric is described as a unified data platform that includes OneLake storage, analytics tools, and AI-native apps such as Microsoft 365 Copilot, Foundry and Power BI.
The solution was designed for multi-vendor, cross-domain telecom environments and supports hybrid and cloud infrastructures, including on-premises deployments. The initial go-to-market examples included Autonomous VoNR assurance, geo-experience mapping of RAN subscriber sessions, and use cases for predictive maintenance and fault management. “Nokia and Microsoft are bringing the right data, at the right time, for the right reason to telecom operators worldwide,” said Vivek Jaiswal, Senior Vice President, Autonomous Networks at Nokia. “Telecom providers are ready to move AI from experimentation into everyday network operations, but that requires trusted data, strong governance and platforms that can scale,” said Silvia Candiani, Corporate Vice President, Worldwide Telco & Media at Microsoft.
