Nokia’s tie-up with OneLayer brings carrier-grade security and OT-aware visibility into one stack, addressing the core adoption barrier for private 5G/LTE in utilities: protecting highly distributed, mission-critical operations at scale. Together, the companies deliver a zero-trust model that spans radio to application: authenticated device identity, continuous posture assessment, role-based segmentation at the cellular (DNN/QoS flow) and IP layers, and orchestrated mitigation. Bottom line: With utilities accelerating private LTE/5G rollouts, Nokia and OneLayer are packaging the controls that regulators, insurers, and boards now expect—bringing OT-aware zero trust into the cellular domain without adding operational complexity.
Nokia and du completed a production-style trial that applied classical and generative AI to accelerate optical network planning and day-to-day operations. The partners tested Nokia’s WaveSuite AI, an automation assistant that exposes network intelligence through a natural-language interface. du cited faster troubleshooting, fewer errors in routine changes, and better resource utilization. The operator also reported concrete planning gains: roughly half the time to develop optical plans and about 30% greater efficiency in network designs, which translates to less overbuild and faster time-to-market. The net effect is improved service delivery and a smoother experience for operations teams tasked with meeting strict SLAs.
At MWC 2025 Keynote 12: Future of Work and Economic Growth, industry leaders explored how AI, talent shortages, and startup growth are reshaping global markets. From Europe's role in applied AI to the importance of scaling startups internationally, the discussions offered crucial insights for entrepreneurs, investors, and tech professionals. Discover key takeaways on AI-driven industries, workforce transformation, and economic innovation. Featuring Euan Blair (Multiverse), Saadia Zahidi (WEF), Yoram Wijngaarde (Dealroom.co), Renate Nikolay (European Commission), and Jordi Romero (Factorial), this session explores workforce transformation, AI’s role in labor markets, and strategies to boost Europe’s innovation and competitiveness.
