Nokia has expanded its relationship with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to add its Autonomous Network Fabric to the hyperscaler, with availability expected later in 2026. The collaboration aims to address networks historically relying on siloed operational and business support systems, offering capabilities including unified data management across domains, agentic AI for service operations and optimisation, and digital twin simulations for proactive impact assessment. Businesses will now have access to advanced AI and cloud services required for Level 4 autonomy, building on existing Nokia digital operations applications already on the platform. Running on AWS, Nokia said its solutions will gain elastic scalability, global availability and broad model choices through cloud, AI and machine learning services including Amazon Bedrock and Amazon SageMaker. Nokia is also engineering an optimised cloud footprint designed to minimise compute and storage requirements versus traditional on-premise deployments. Additionally, Nokia completed a joint proof of concept (PoC) with Databricks, demonstrating a unified, substrate-agnostic data platform designed to support AI-driven autonomous networks. The PoC aimed to show how network providers can simplify fragmented data environments and deploy real-time analytics at scale, addressing the challenge of various siloed operational and business support systems with different data architectures.
