Nokia is expanding its AI-RAN roadmap through new trials with global mobile operators and deploying 800G optical infrastructure for Telxius to support increased AI-driven network capacity. The company is also integrating its Deepfield Defender security product into Spanish internet exchange ESpanix to provide automated DDoS mitigation.
The expansion of these trials indicates that AI is moving from a theoretical network enhancement to a foundational layer of the telecommunications stack. By embedding Nvidia's accelerated computing into the radio access network, Nokia is positioning itself to capture the 'AI supercycle' by enabling operators to run AI workloads at the edge while simultaneously doubling spectrum capacity. This shift forces a convergence between traditional telco hardware and data center-style compute fabrics, setting the stage for software-defined 6G standards. Watch for the results of the T-Mobile and Softbank evaluations later this year to gauge the commercial readiness of the 2027 general release.
Nokia's ongoing efforts build upon previous Nokia open RAN deployment initiatives that have already begun to reshape multivendor network architectures.
Nokia is expanding its AI-RAN trials globally by integrating Nvidia’s Aerial platform with its anyRAN software. This initiative aims to optimize radio performance and support AI-native 6G infrastructure by 2027. By embedding accelerated computing into radio networks, Nokia enables operators to run AI workloads at the edge while significantly increasing spectrum capacity.
The trials aim to optimize radio performance and prepare for a commercial release in 2027 that supports AI-native 6G infrastructure.
New trial engagements include A1 Group in Austria, Chunghwa Telecom in Taiwan, and TPG Telecom in Australia.
Nokia claims its AI-driven radio innovations have demonstrated 20% spectral efficiency gains, with a target of reaching 100% efficiency by 2028.
Telxius is deploying Nokia ICE-X 800G coherent pluggable optics to manage increasing AI and cloud service traffic across international corridors.
