Nokia and Nvidia announced the industry's first commercial AI-driven Radio Access Network (AI-RAN) platform.

Pilot deployments will begin in late 2026. The technology will reach full commercial availability for mobile operators in 2027.

The platform integrates Nokia anyRAN software with Nvidia accelerated computing to enhance network performance. Nokia targets a 100% increase in spectrum efficiency by 2028.

This efficiency gain effectively doubles the data capacity of existing spectrum assets. The partnership establishes a software upgrade path toward AI-native 6G networks.
