    Nokia and Nvidia expand AI-RAN platform as global telecom operators begin live trials

    Question

    Nokia and Nvidia expand AI-RAN platform as global telecom operators begin live trials

    Direct answer

    Nokia and Nvidia confirmed that multiple international telecom operators have advanced from laboratory evaluations to live field trials of their joint AI-RAN architecture. The platform integrates native AI compute directly into radio access networks on Nvidia silicon. Live testing has documented greater than 20% efficiency improvements in wireless spectrum utilization, with roadmap development targeting additional performance gains through 2028. This marks an expansion of GPU-based compute workloads outside traditional enterprise data centers into carrier edge infrastructure.
