Espoo, Finland – Nokia today announces new agentic AI capabilities for its fixed network product lines to help drive productivity and operational intelligence across home and broadband networks. Drawing on the expertise from 600+ million broadband lines deployed, Nokia’s agentic AI capabilities help telecom providers tackle fiber and Wi-Fi challenges, from design and planning to rollout and operations. Designed for the cognitive broadband era, Nokia’s AI-enabled fixed networks portfolio boosts end-user experience, increases operational efficiency and accelerates fiber rollout.

The telecom industry is set to invest $6.2 billion in agentic AI by 2030. Agentic AI systems capable of autonomous reasoning and decision-making will be a key driver of the cognitive broadband era, enabling networks to move beyond basic connectivity toward self-optimizing, AI-driven infrastructures.

Nokia embeds AI agents and natural language interaction across its Altiplano, Corteca, and Broadband Easy platforms, enabling telecom providers to modernize operations and reduce costs. Operators can resolve problems proactively, scale operations without adding headcount, and diagnose network issues using automated root cause analysis. The AI agents will make an immediate and tangible difference for operators, including lifting first-contact helpdesk resolution rates above 50%, network incident qualification within 5 minutes, and a 50% reduction in return visits to construction sites and connected homes.

Underpinning this is an open and secure approach that integrates AI agents, live data, and external services while ensuring compliance, data sovereignty, and vendor independence. Operators retain full control and can work with an LLM that best fits the specific use case, use their own interfaces, or connect data sources as they scale AI across their business.

Nokia's new AI capabilities span the full broadband network lifecycle. They increase productivity across customer care, network engineering & operations and field force teams, while boosting end-user experience:
