Jio, Nokia, AMD & Cisco Launch AI-Powered Platform to Transform Telecom
Jio Platforms, together with Nokia, AMD, and Cisco, has introduced an open AI platform that will change the face of the telecom industry. The platform was announced on Monday at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, marking a giant step towards intelligent, automated network management and superior service capabilities.
Known as the Open Telecom AI Platform, the venture aims to drive network efficiency, security, and operational insight alongside opening up new revenue streams for telecom service providers. Jio will be the first customer for the platform and act as an example for world operators wishing to deploy AI and automation in their infrastructure.
The platform has been architected to embed AI in various network layers, harnessing breakthroughs in Radio Access Network (RAN), routing, AI data centers, and security. In embracing a multi-domain intelligence approach, the companies seek to build a centralized layer of intelligence in order to optimize network management and performance.
Mathew Oommen, Reliance Jio Group CEO, pointed out the revolutionary character of the project, calling it a multimodal and multidomain orchestrated workflow platform. He underscored that the AI-based system would set new industry benchmarks for efficiency, intelligence, and security. The platform will accommodate both Large Language Models (LLMs) and Small Language Models (SLMs), ensuring flexibility in various applications.
AMD Chair and CEO Lisa Su added that AMD's high-performance CPUs and GPUs would be helping to make the platform scalable and secure, allowing operators and consumers to offer innovative services. She emphasized the ability of AI to transform global connectivity and communications.
Pekka Lundmark, Nokia President and CEO, was optimistic about the partnership, highlighting Nokia's leadership in some of the most important areas of telecom, such as RAN, core networks, and IP and optical transport. He said that Nokia's experience would play a crucial role in enhancing the capabilities of the platform.
Through the integration of the latest AI technologies with telecommunication infrastructure, the Open Telecom AI Platform has the potential to speed up the uptake of intelligent automation, enhance network resilience, and enhance customer experience. The revolutionary effort is a milestone towards the future of telecommunications, and it promises wiser and more robust networks across the globe.
