Dell Technologies

Vodafone named Dell Technologies a strategic infrastructure provider for a five-year Open RAN buildout across Europe, signaling a move from trials to scaled, automated 5G networks. Vodafone will expand one of Europeโ€™s largest Open RAN footprints using Dell infrastructure as part of a multi-year radio access modernization program. Dell will supply its PowerEdge XR8000 series servers, including the XR8620t and the latest XR8720t with Intel Xeon 6 SoC. Vodafone also plans to adopt the Dell Telecom Infrastructure Automation Suite (DTIAS) to provide the Infrastructure Management Service within its Open RAN architecture, designed to automate Day 0/1/2 lifecycle operations for O-Cloud infrastructure.
NVIDIA and Nokia unveiled a strategic partnership to deliver commercial AI-RAN products built on NVIDIAโ€™s Aerial RAN Computer Pro (ARC-Pro) platform and Nokiaโ€™s RAN software portfolio, with NVIDIA committing a $1 billion equity investment in Nokia at approximately $6.01 per share, subject to customary closing conditions. The companies are targeting an AI-native RAN that runs both radio workloads and AI inference on a software-defined, accelerated platform, with a cumulative AI-RAN market opportunity that Omdia estimates will exceed $200 billion by 2030. ARC-Pro is positioned as a 6G-ready accelerated computing platform that couples connectivity, compute, and sensing, enabling upgrades from 5G-Advanced to 6G largely via software.
