Nokia expanded its partnership with Microsoft to integrate Nokia Data Suite with Microsoft Fabric, creating a joint data and AI platform for telecom operators. This collaboration addresses fragmented network data to accelerate automation, fault identification, and Agentic AI deployment across wireless access networks. The flexible solution supports public, hybrid, and on-premises environments, enabling operators to enhance autonomous network operations. Following the announcement, Nokia’s U.S. pre-market stock rose nearly 5% to $10.59, building on recent momentum that also includes an ongoing AI-RAN collaboration with Nvidia currently advancing into live network testing.
TradingKey – Nokia (NOK) announced on Thursday a further expansion of its partnership with Microsoft (MSFT). The two companies will integrate Nokia Data Suite with Microsoft Fabric to jointly build a data and AI platform for telecom operators, accelerating the deployment of network automation and Agentic AI across operator networks. Following the announcement, Nokia’s U.S. pre-market stock rose nearly 5% to $10.59; the company’s ADR had previously closed up 3.05% at $10.14 on Wednesday.
Nokia pre-market share price trend
This partnership primarily targets the issue of fragmented data in telecom networks. By connecting Nokia’s data products into Microsoft Fabric, operators can integrate data from different equipment vendors, network domains, and IT systems, while leveraging Microsoft’s AI and data analytics tools to accelerate network fault identification, optimization, and automated handling.
The initial applications will focus on wireless access networks, including automated assurance for 5G voice services, network coverage and capacity analytics, and predictive maintenance. AI Agents can automatically detect anomalies, analyze underlying causes, and provide recommendations, allowing operators to significantly reduce manual data organization and network troubleshooting.
Nokia stated that the solution supports multi-vendor and cross-network domain environments, and can be deployed in public clouds, hybrid clouds, or on-premises enterprise infrastructure. The two companies hope that a unified data foundation will enable operators to gradually enhance their level of autonomous network operations while retaining essential human oversight and security controls.
Notably, Nokia had previously partnered with Nvidia to advance AI-RAN, and announced this week that several global telecom operators are transitioning from early verification to laboratory and live network testing.
