Press Release
Summary bullets
- New capabilities improve radio performance, enable real-time intelligence at the edge and extend governed AI agents across network operations.
- Nokia AI-native anyRAN software and NVIDIA accelerated computing turn the radio access network into a distributed platform for sensing, intelligence and real-time action.
- BT, Deutsche Telekom, Elisa and Orange provide growing evidence of AI-RAN progress among European operators.
- dApps and an expanding infrastructure ecosystem extend the platform for physical-AI and edge-AI applications.
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. Together with NVIDIA and leading operators, Nokia is turning this vision into reality by bringing AI into the radio network and across network operations. This creates a trusted, software-defined foundation that helps operators get more from their spectrum today while enabling new Physical AI use cases and opening a practical path toward increasingly autonomous, AI-native 6G networks.
