Nvidia partners with Nokia to pioneer AI platforms for transitioning from 5G to 6G

New Delhi, Oct 29 (UNI) Nvidia and Nokia today announced a strategic partnership to add Nvidia-powered, commercial-grade AI-RAN products to Nokia's industry-leading Radio Access Network (RAN) portfolio, a Nokia statement said.
This collaboration is intended to enable communication service providers to launch AI-native 5G-advanced and 6G networks on NVIDIA platforms.
The Semiconductor major Nvidia will invest USD 1 billion in Nokia at a subscription price of USD 6.01 per share, and it's subject to customary closings.
This collaboration addresses the need of the fast-growing AI-RAN market, which is expected to exceed a cumulative USD 200 billion by 2030.
Together, Nvidia and Nokia are also laying the strategic infrastructure and opening up a new high-growth frontier for telecom providers by delivering distributed edge AI inferencing at scale.
Moreover, T-Mobile will also collaborate with Nokia and Nvidia to drive and test AI-RAN technologies as part of the 6G innovation and development process, which reinforces its global leadership in driving wireless innovation.
Jensen Huang, Founder and CEO of Nvidia, said, " Telecommunications is critical to national infrastructure–the digital nervous system of our economy and security. Built on NVIDIA CUDA and AI, AI-RAN will revolutionize telecommunications–a generational platform shift that empowers the United States to regain global leadership in this vital infrastructure technology."
"Together with Nokia, and America's telecom ecosystem, we're igniting this revolution, equipping operators to build intelligent, adaptive networks that will define the next-generation of global connectivity," Huang added.
Nokia's and Nvidia AI-RAN platform unifies AI and radio access workloads on a software-defined, accelerated infrastructure, boosting performance, efficiency, and monetization while enabling a smooth and cost-effective path to 6G.
New capabilities are added through software updates, future-proofing investments for 6G and beyond. It also focuses on enabling rapid innovation cycles at the pace of Artificial Intelligence (AI).
It is serving as the growing generative AI and agentic AI traffic on the same site as RAN functions by applying AI algorithms to improve spectral and energy efficiency, as well as overall network performance.
Justin Hotard, President and CEO of Nokia, said, " The next leap in telecom isn't just from 5G to 6G–it's a fundamental redesign of the network to deliver AI-powered connectivity, capable of processing intelligence from the data center all the way to the edge. Our partnership with Nvidia and their investment in Nokia will accelerate AI-RAN innovation to put an AI data center into everyone's pocket. We're proud to drive this industry transformation with Nvidia, Dell Technologies, and T-Mobile US, our first AI-RAN deployments in T-Mobile's network will ensure America leads in advanced connectivity that AI needs."
Nokia will accelerate the availability of 5G and 6G RAN software on the NVIDIA CUDA Platform, which is a parallel computing platform and programming model developed by Nvidia.
It enables the use of Nvidia Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) for general-purpose processing to accelerate applications.
This partnership will enable Nokia's mobile network customers to transition seamlessly from today's RAN networks to future AI-RAN networks.
John Saw, President of Technology and Chief Technology Officer of T-Mobile, said, " With America's best networks, T-Mobile remains committed to advancing next-generation technologies that redefine the customer experience. Our collaboration with industry leaders like Nokia and Nvidia marks an important step toward shaping the future of connectivity as we develop the innovations that will empower the 6G era."
"Building on the foundation established by AI-RAN Innovation Center in 2024, this strategic initiative reinforces T-Mobile's leadership in driving the US wireless industry forward. Beginning in 2026, T-Mobile will conduct field evaluations and testing of advanced AI-RAN technologies to ensure they meet the evolving needs of our customers as we move toward 6G," added Saw.
