Nokia has been telling the world+dog that it has come up with multiple AI uses cases delivered over the public cloud, with its chum Microsoft.
By integrating Nokia’s security framework with Microsoft Azure’s digital architecture, communications service providers (CSPs) can securely inject AI into their networks nine times faster than using private cloud and scale fast across their network. AI use cases are essential for CSPs to manage the business complexity that 5G and cloud networks bring, and will help accelerate digital transformation.
Nokia claims its AI as a service allows CSPs to deploy AI use cases quickly and securely, completing data set-up in four weeks. By integrating Nokia’s security framework with Microsoft Azure’s digital architecture, deployment is much faster while concerns around data sovereignty and security are eliminated and global regulations respected. Azure’s platform enables Nokia’s AI deployments to be delivered fast and enables CSPs to scale fast across multiple clusters.
Nokia said that after the initial data set-up, CSPs can deploy additional AVA AI use cases within one week and ramp-up or ramp-down resources as needed within one day across multiple network clusters. The Nokia security framework on Azure ensures data is segregated and isolated to provide the same level of security as a private cloud.
Australian mobile operator TPG was the first commercial adopter of Nokia AVA AI on public cloud, using a local instance of Microsoft Azure. This means TPG can deploy and scale additional AI use cases fast and has been able to optimise network coverage, capacity and performance, for instance by:
Declan O’Rourke, Head of Radio and Device Engineering TPG, said: “Nokia’s AVA AI as a service uses artificial intelligence and analytics to help us maintain a first-class, optimised service for our subscribers, helping us to predict and deal with issues before they occur.”
