Nokia Brings Unified Data Management and Intent-Based Networking to AWS Cloud Infrastructure

(IN BRIEF) Nokia and Amazon Web Services are expanding their collaboration to make Nokia’s Autonomous Network Fabric available on AWS later in 2026. The cloud-based platform is designed to help telecommunications operators move toward Level 4 autonomous network operations by combining unified data management, agentic AI, digital twins and intent-based networking. Nokia said the Fabric will support multi-domain, multi-vendor network orchestration, AI-powered anomaly detection, root-cause analysis and closed-loop resolution. By using AWS infrastructure and services such as Amazon Bedrock and Amazon SageMaker, operators are expected to gain elastic scalability, global availability and access to AI and machine-learning tools while reducing operational complexity. The companies said the collaboration will help telecom providers modernise network operations, improve efficiency and create new service and revenue opportunities.

(PRESS RELEASE) ESPOO, 24-Jun-2026 — /EuropaWire/ — Nokia and Amazon Web Services are expanding their collaboration to support the deployment of autonomous network capabilities in the cloud, aiming to help telecommunications operators run more of their operational systems through AI-enabled, cloud-native infrastructure.

Under the agreement, Nokia plans to make its Autonomous Network Fabric available on AWS later this year. The platform is intended to give operators access to cloud-based AI and machine-learning services as they work toward higher levels of network autonomy, including Level 4 autonomous operations.

The collaboration builds on Nokia digital operations applications already available on AWS, including solutions for orchestration, assurance and unified inventory management. By placing the wider Autonomous Network Fabric on the AWS platform, the companies aim to provide operators with a more integrated environment for automating network operations across mobile, fixed and transport networks.

Nokia’s Autonomous Network Fabric is designed to support intent-based service orchestration across multi-domain and multi-vendor networks. It combines network observability, analytics, automation and security capabilities to help operators identify problems, analyse root causes and initiate closed-loop responses.

The platform is built around four principal capabilities: unified data management across network domains, agentic AI for service operations and optimisation, digital twin simulations for assessing the potential impact of changes, and intent-based networking that converts business objectives into automated network actions.

Nokia said these capabilities are intended to help operators move away from operational models in which specialist teams manually manage separate network domains. Instead, the company is positioning the Fabric as a foundation for programmable and AI-native networks that can adapt to changing traffic patterns and service requirements at greater speed.

Oguz Sunay, Chief Technology Officer for AI and Autonomous Networks at Nokia, said autonomous networks are becoming a business priority for operators. He said the combination of intent-based networking, agentic AI and cloud-native architecture is intended to help telecom providers increase automation while retaining control and governance over their networks.

Running Nokia’s autonomous network capabilities on AWS is expected to provide operators with elastic scalability, global availability and access to AWS AI and machine-learning services, including Amazon Bedrock and Amazon SageMaker. Nokia said it is also designing an optimised cloud footprint that seeks to reduce compute and storage requirements compared with conventional on-premise deployments.

Amir Rao, Global Director for Telco Solutions at AWS, said autonomous network operations require faster detection, resolution and service monetisation, alongside significant improvements in cost efficiency. He said the expanded collaboration is intended to help operators use cloud infrastructure and AI services to speed up operational transformation.

The announcement follows earlier joint Nokia and AWS initiatives in cloud-based telecom innovation. At Mobile World Congress in March, the companies demonstrated agentic AI-powered network slicing with du and Orange. In February, they announced a commercial mobile service based on 5G Core software-as-a-service for Citymesh in Belgium.

Nokia said its autonomous networks portfolio is already producing operational results for operators, including automation rates above 90%, service delivery times of four hours or less, and service interruption periods of one minute per year or fewer. The company also reported reductions of up to 85% in network slice rollout time and up to 50% fewer customer-impacting incidents in relevant deployments.

Nokia and AWS said they will continue to work together on autonomous network capabilities by combining Nokia’s telecom-trained AI models and industry expertise with AWS cloud, AI and machine-learning services. The companies plan to support operators as they modernise operational stacks, expand autonomous operations and develop new revenue opportunities.
