Global PCB Connections: Rigid-flex and Flexible PCBs—The Backbone of Modern Electronics
Nokia and Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced they are expanding their collaboration to deliver autonomous networks built for the AI era, making it easier for telecommunication providers to run their full operational stack in the cloud.
Nokia and AWS are collaborating to run Nokia’s Autonomous Networks Fabric on AWS, giving operators access to advanced AI and cloud services required for Level 4 autonomy. This builds on a set of existing digital operations applications from Nokia — covering orchestration, assurance, and unified inventory — already on the platform. Availability is expected later this year.
Nokia’s Autonomous Network Fabric weaves together a broad portfolio that delivers intent-based service orchestration across multi-domain, multi-vendor networks; provides 360-degree observability with AI-powered anomaly detection, root cause analysis, and closed-loop resolution; and offers a single source of truth for network topology and resources.
The Fabric unifies observability, analytics, security, and automation through four core capabilities:
- Unified Data Management across domains.
- Agentic AI for service operations and optimization.
- Digital Twin simulations for proactive impact assessment.
- Intent-Based Networking that translates business goals into automated closed-loop actions.
‘This is how telcos will compete in the AI era’
While legacy network management tools require teams of experts to manually oversee mobile, fixed, and transport networks in silos, Nokia helps operators evolve from static infrastructures to programmable, AI-native platforms that anticipate changing traffic mixes and operate at machine speed to connect intelligence.
Cloud-based network innovation
Today’s news is the latest in a series of announcements between Nokia and AWS related to cloud-based network innovation. At MWC in March, the companies showcased the industry’s first agentic AI-powered network slicing alongside du and Orange. In February, they announced the world’s first commercial mobile service on 5G Core SaaS, running on Belgium’s Citymesh network.
In addition to these developments, Nokia’s autonomous networks portfolio is already delivering measurable results, with operators achieving automation rates exceeding 90%, service delivery times of four hours or less, and service interruption periods of one minute per year or fewer — along with up to 85% reduction in slice rollout time and up to 50% fewer customer-impacting incidents.
Nokia and AWS are committed to a collaborative innovation agenda that combines Nokia’s telecom-trained AI models and domain expertise with AWS’s AI services to deliver increasingly autonomous network operations. Together, the companies will go to market to help operators evolve their operational stacks, increase autonomous operations and unlock new revenue streams.
