Nokia, AWS launch agentic AI for 5G network slicing
Nokia and Amazon Web Services have teamed up to add “agentic” AI to 5G network slicing, aiming to help telecom operators sell higher-priced, tailored connectivity services. The system combines Nokia’s slicing technology with AI tools on Amazon Bedrock, allowing mobile networks to adjust capacity and performance automatically based on live data such as location, events, traffic patterns, incidents and maps.
The companies say this should reduce the manual work and rigid policies that have limited on‑demand network slices so far. Operators could use it to prioritise connectivity during traffic spikes, emergencies or large public events, and to support sectors such as manufacturing, smart cities, healthcare, energy, transport and ports by tracking live metrics like speed and latency. The tool can also trigger dedicated slices for first responders and public safety agencies during crises. UAE operator du and France’s Orange are the first to test the technology on their networks.
