Nokia and AWS Launch AI-Driven 5G-Advanced Network Slicing with Live Operator Trials
Nokia announced on February 24 a strategic partnership with AWS to launch an AI-powered 5G-Advanced network slicing solution that dynamically adjusts network resources using real-world data like traffic surges and emergencies. Major telecom operators du and Orange have begun live trials to monetise 5G investments through differentiated premium service offerings.
1. Partnership Announcement
On February 24, Nokia announced a strategic collaboration with AWS to integrate Nokia’s network infrastructure with AWS’s AI platform, enabling agentic AI-driven network slicing for 5G-Advanced networks.
2. AI-Powered Capabilities
The solution leverages intent-based services that use live data—such as sudden traffic surges or emergency events—to automatically adjust network slices and optimise performance.
3. Operator Trials
Major telecom operators, including du and Orange, have already deployed the solution in live network environments to test dynamic resource allocation and assess premium service monetisation.
4. Commercial Implications
This partnership aims to turn network slicing from a technical feature into a responsive business tool, allowing operators to offer context-aware, differentiated services and drive new 5G-related revenue streams.
