Nokia announced its Autonomous Networks Fabric, a suite of telco-trained AI models, integrated security and AI apps to accelerate network automation. Autonomous Network Fabric offers an intelligence layer that weaves observability, analytics, security and automation across every network domain, allowing a network to behave as one adaptive system, regardless of vendor, architecture or deployment model.
Nokia also announced an expanded collaboration with Google Cloud to allow customers to deploy Autonomous Network Fabric as a SaaS application, either running on Google Cloud, on-premise with Google Distributed Cloud or as part of a hybrid cloud environment.
With Nokia’s Autonomous Network Fabric, operators gain access to an integrated suite that features unified data management, 360-degree observability and explainable AI. The offering supports automation at scale, allowing operators to improve reliability and operational cost by testing new ideas and integrating those that deliver desired benefits.
Nokia’s Autonomous Networks Fabric will leverage Google Cloud genAI, including Vertex AI and BigQuery, to deliver agentic-driven workflows for network operations. This includes real-time monitoring and visibility into network traffic patterns, improving subscriber experience, anomaly detection, zero-touch remediation of performance issues and support for elastic scale-out and disaster recovery to the cloud.
“In an era of increasingly complex and vulnerable networks, customers are eager for fully autonomous networks, which depend on good data,” said Nokia SVP, product and engineering, cloud and network services, Kal De. “There is no good AI without good data. Nokia’s Autonomous Network Fabric lays the foundation and applies our deep network expertise and agentic AI-optimized workflows together with Google Cloud to accelerate customer outcomes.”
“This is another step in our deep partnership with Nokia to strengthen network reliability, proactively detect and resolve network issues, and turn data into value for predictable and high-performing networks,” said Muninder Singh Sambi, VP and GM, networking and security, Google Cloud. “Nokia’s Autonomous Network Fabric taps Nokia’s deep telecom domain knowledge combined with Google Cloud’s AI tools to provide operators with a comprehensive approach for accelerating network automation.”
Key features include:
- Unified data management.
- 360-degree observability.
- Explainable AI.
