Nokia signs 5G expansion with Taiwan Mobile to deploy AI-driven network software
Nokia signed a 5G expansion agreement with Taiwan Mobile to deploy its AirScale portfolio and AI-driven software across the carrier's network. The deal includes four AI applications: predictive hardware analytics, MantaRay SON self-organizing network, AI-powered energy management, and AI-enabled self-healing capabilities. The deployment supports 5G-Advanced features like network slicing and RedCap, aiming to handle surging AI traffic that could grow network load by up to 10 times. Nokia has been building toward AI-native infrastructure, launching the industry's first commercial AI-RAN platform in June with 20% higher spectral efficiency, and expects that to reach 50% next year and 100% by 2028. The company also has a deepening partnership with Nvidia, which invested $1 billion at $6.01 per share, and insider buying has been strong, with multiple executives purchasing shares in recent months.
