Nokia invests $4B in AI-ready US networks

Nokia Shifts Focus to AI and Network Infrastructure
Nokia is making a multi‑year, $4 billion push to expand US R&D and manufacturing as it pivots to AI‑native networks under CEO Justin Hotard. The company will invest roughly $3.5 billion in US‑based R&D spanning networking technologies, defense applications, automation, quantum‑safe networking, and semiconductor development. A further $500 million targets manufacturing and R&D expansion in Texas, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, strengthening domestic supply chains for critical telecom gear. The plan follows Nokia’s strategy revamp and creation of a Mobile Infrastructure unit to advance an AI‑native network portfolio across RAN, transport, IP, and cloud.

6G Spectrum: Why Mid-Band Decisions Can’t Wait

6G Spectrum: Why Mid-Band Decisions Can’t Wait
Policy choices over the next two years will set the capacity ceiling for 6G-era services through the 2030s. Mobile traffic is overwhelmingly urban, concentrated in a small fraction of national land areas and rising fastest in very dense zones. The GSMA’s new Vision 2040 analysis concludes these levers will not keep pace with demand growth on their own. The modeling indicates countries will need, on average, 2–3 GHz of total mid-band assigned for mobile by 2035–2040 to meet peak urban demand; higher-demand markets trend toward 2.5–4 GHz. Crucially, about 2 GHz needs to be operational by 2030 to avoid early congestion as 6G arrives.

Nokia AI Strategy for 6G and AI-Native Networks

Nokia AI Strategy for 6G and AI-Native Networks
Nokia is restructuring to monetize the AI supercycle across fixed and mobile networks while tightening focus on profitable growth. The company’s new strategy concentrates on: accelerating in AI and cloud; leading the next era of mobile with AI-native networks and 6G; co-innovating with customers and partners; concentrating capital where it can differentiate; and unlocking sustainable, consistent returns. Nokia will move from four primary segments to two, with changes effective 1 January 2026. The company is targeting comparable operating profit of €2.7 billion to €3.2 billion by 2028.

NTT Docomo AI-AI Air Interface Trial Doubles 6G Throughput with Nokia Bell Labs and SK Telecom

AI-AI Air Interface Trial Doubles 6G Throughput
A consortium led by NTT DOCOMO, NTT, Nokia Bell Labs, and SK Telecom has shown that applying AI to both transmitter and receiver—“AI-AI”—can materially lift outdoor 6G performance, pointing to an AI-native air interface that adapts in real time to messy, real-world radio conditions. Using 5G New Radio as the baseline at 4.8 GHz, the AI-AI approach improved average throughput by roughly 18% across mixed environments and delivered up to a 100% gain in the most challenging sections of a curved public road. The net: AI at both ends consistently compensated for channel fluctuations outdoors, not just in controlled labs.

Nokia 5G Denmark: AI‑Ready RAN for TNN

Nokia 5G Denmark: AI‑Ready RAN for TNN
Nokia will remain TNN’s sole 5G RAN and managed services supplier for four more years, underpinning Denmark’s next phase of high-performance, energy-efficient, and increasingly autonomous mobile networks. The renewed agreement modernizes TNN’s nationwide 5G footprint with Nokia’s AirScale Radio Access Network portfolio and AI-driven MantaRay solutions to improve speed, capacity, and customer experience for more than three million users. Deployment highlights include Habrok Massive MIMO radios for mid-band capacity, Pandion multi-band remote radio heads for broad coverage, and AI-ready AirScale basebands (Ponente, Lodos, Levante) powered by ReefShark system-on-chip silicon to scale throughput while reducing power consumption.

Nokia and LMT advance tactical 5G in the Baltics

Nokia and LMT advance tactical 5G in the Baltics
Nokia and Latvia’s LMT are aligning 5G radio and defense capabilities to deliver a field-ready, private tactical communications system for Baltic and coalition forces. Nokia will integrate its 5G radio portfolio with LMT’s defense solutions to build a secure, high-capacity, and resilient tactical network tailored to Baltic military needs. The joint system is designed for dedicated use cases, enabling real-time data exchange across uncrewed platforms, sensors, and dismounted teams. The goal is improved situational awareness, faster decision cycles, and assured interoperability for collective defense.
