Eurobites: Nokia and AWS bring agentic AI to network slicing

Nokia is working with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to apply "agentic" AI to network slicing, aiming to automate how operators create, manage and optimize virtual network segments for different services. The goal is to make slicing more dynamic and less reliant on manual engineering, as operators look for ways to run 5G and cloud networks more efficiently.

Elsewhere in the EMEA region, Deutsche Telekom reports energy savings on its network as it tries to cut power use and costs. In West Africa, Hayo has opened an office in Senegal as part of its regional expansion. The roundup also flags concerns about "digital invisibility" – people and communities left off the digital map, with limited or no presence in online systems and services.
