Nokia is accelerating the global rollout of its AI-powered Radio Access Network (AI-RAN) platform. The company is transitioning from laboratory evaluations to live field trials across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East.

New partners joining the proofs-of-concept include A1 Group, Chunghwa Telecom, du, e&, Mobily, stc, TPG Telecom, and Zain Saudi. The platform utilizes NVIDIA technology to optimize network performance.

Initial tests demonstrate a 20% improvement in spectral efficiency. This allows operators to increase network capacity using existing infrastructure.

These developments support the ongoing evolution of 5G and the transition toward future 6G networks.
