The journey to autonomous networks (Google + Nokia)
6Join Google Cloud VP Muninder Sambi and Nokia SVP for Cloud and Network, Vishal Singh, and Kal De, SVP and Head of Products and Engineering, for a discussion on autonomous network operations. The conversation centers on the critical transformation of the telecommunications industry towards autonomous network operations and the strategic partnership between Google Cloud and Nokia enabling customers to enhance service reliability, proactively detect and resolve network issues, and turn fragmented data into value.
Telecom communication service providers (CSPs) face significant challenges monetizing their 5G investments as increasing data traffic drives up CapEx and OpEx. Operators actively seek solutions to boost network efficiency, moving beyond traditional automation to achieve true network autonomy. The industry must transition from manual, error-prone human intervention to efficient, machine-speed operations, to reduce human toil and associated costs. To overcome these hurdles, CSPs are seeking ways to leverage technologies like AI, including generative AI and agentic AI, alongside cloud capabilities. This shift empowers service providers to drastically lower their total cost of ownership, accelerate time to value, and ultimately focus on driving new revenue streams through innovative services instead of just maintaining infrastructure.
In this video, you will learn how Nokia and Google Cloud are enabling transformative customer experiences with Nokia's deep network expertise and Google Cloud's AI and cloud capabilities, with autonomous network operations. This powerful collaboration enables joint customers to achieve faster time to value, lower total cost of ownership, and ultimately unlock new revenue streams by shifting their focus from network maintenance to delivering innovative services.
The Google Cloud Autonomous Network Operations framework, combined with Nokia’s deep experience in packet core and network data offers communication service providers customers (CSPs) with comprehensive understanding of the network, help CSP customers shift from network operations to delivering value-added 5G services, leverage AI to accelerate towards autonomous operations.
Google Cloud’s Autonomous Networking Operations framework enables communication service providers to leverage AI to enhance service reliability, proactively detect and resolve network issues, and turn fragmented data into value. With Google Cloud AI, AI infrastructure, and expertise, CSPs can accelerate time to value, improve operational costs, and leverage expertise for predictable and high-performing networks.
