Nokia launches Doksuri remote radio heads and SMO marketplace

Nokia announced Doksuri Remote Radio Heads for its AirScale portfolio at Mobile World Congress 2026, saying the release addressed performance, sustainability and automation needs tied to the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Edge Resource Allocator (ERA).

The company framed the launch as a response to increased demands on network infrastructure performance and energy efficiency and as a component for telecommunications providers that require compatibility with Open Radio Access Network (RAN) front-haul standards.

Doksuri Radios use a next-generation System-on-Chip and deliver up to 30 percent improvement in power efficiency, up to 25 percent lower weight, and a mounting system that reduced installation time by up to 70 percent. Nokia also said it would offer Habrok Massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) products for TDD and for FDD spectrum and launched an rApp Marketplace for its SMO platform.

“Artificial Intelligence can have a definite and concrete impact when applied to Radio Access Networks, and this kind of radio innovation allows the radio hardware to support future enhancements to capacity and reliability performance in the network,” said Joe Madden, Founder & Chief Analyst at Mobile Experts, Inc.

“As networks transition toward AI-native architecture, performance, intelligence and efficiency must be built into the foundation. Our next-generation radio portfolio brings advanced processing closer to the edge, enabling operators to meet rising AI-driven traffic demands while reducing energy consumption and total cost of ownership. By embedding AI-ready capabilities directly into the radio layer, we are helping telcos build sustainable, high-performance networks ready for the next wave of 5G and the evolution toward 6G,”

said Pallavi Mahajan, Chief Technology and AI Officer at Nokia. Nokia said the radios ensured future-proof capabilities for telecommunications providers, including compatibility with Open RAN front-haul standards, and supported evolution toward 6G.
