Nokia and AWS Launch a 5G Slicing Solution with Generative AI

Collaborative Integration in 5G Networks

Nokia and AWS have entered into a collaboration to integrate a 5G network slicing solution powered by agent-based AI into production 5G networks. This solution merges Nokia's advanced network slicing with AWS's AI technologies. Du and Orange are the first operators to test this innovation in their respective networks. The solution utilizes AI to analyze real-time internet data, including locations, events, traffic, incidents, and maps, enabling telecommunications service providers to offer adaptive network slicing. The agent-based AI approach operates across RAN-transport-core layers and integrates Nokia's 5G AirScale base station, the MantaRay SMO platform, and AI modules, connected to the Amazon Bedrock platform.

Integrated AI-Driven Data Coordination

The integrated solution uses agent-based AI to coordinate data analysis, inference, and RAN policies. The AI modules operate in four modes: chatbot, on-demand, scheduled, and autonomous. All modules interact with Amazon Bedrock through programming interfaces (APIs). AI-powered applications are enhanced by Nokia's Edge Slicing solution, which brings cloud applications and mobile user workloads closer through secure, low-latency networks. Amazon EKS Hybrid Nodes allow telecommunications providers to deploy these agents and network workloads on their existing infrastructure while unifying Kubernetes management across all cloud and edge environments.

Live Demonstrations at Mobile World Congress 2026

Nokia will showcase live demonstrations of this slicing solution and the advanced network slicing innovation powered by agent-based AI at the Mobile World Congress 2026, in Hall 3 of their booth.
