Nokia launches industry-first initiative to help operators accelerate network innovation in the AI era

    

 

  • Mobile Core Early Access offers a practical, hands-on way to explore the latest mobile core capabilities and use cases.
  • Live hosted environment gives telecommunication providers and enterprises a platform to evaluate, plan, and adopt cutting-edge technologies.


 

Espoo, Finland – Nokia today announced Mobile Core Early Access, a live hosted environment that provides an up-close look at the software driving advanced network connectivity in the AI era. Available globally to telecommunication providers and enterprises, the initiative is designed to shorten the path from technology awareness to informed planning, validation, and adoption.

As mobile networks evolve to support AI-driven services, automation, and increasingly demanding enterprise applications, operators need faster, more practical ways to evaluate opportunities for innovation. Mobile Core Early Access was created to address these challenges, allowing participants to see how new capabilities operate in practice. In turn, they can assess business relevance, operational requirements, and deployment considerations earlier in the decision-making process.

“Mobile innovation cycles continue to accelerate, and operators need more than presentations and demonstrations to make confident technology choices,” said Kal De, Senior Vice President, Core Networks at Nokia. “Mobile Core Early Access provides a practical way to experience the latest mobile core innovations in a live environment. By bringing capabilities closer to customers earlier, we help them reduce uncertainty and move more quickly from exploration to deployment.”

Mobile Core Early Access is the first program of its kind to offer a live, hosted, end-to-end environment for exploring the latest mobile core capabilities and use cases alongside radios and devices. After launching in June with a select group of 30 companies, registration is now open to the entire industry.

“Nokia’s Mobile Core Early Access program addresses a longstanding challenge for operators and enterprises: gaining practical exposure to emerging core network capabilities before making deployment decisions,” said Roberto Kompany, Principal Analyst, Mobile Infrastructure at Omdia. “By providing access to a live, regularly updated environment that showcases real-world 5G Core, automation, analytics and network exposure use cases, Nokia is reducing evaluation friction and helping customers shorten innovation cycles. As the industry moves toward AI-native core networks, initiatives such as Nokia’s Mobile Core Early Access can play an important role in accelerating technology adoption and improving customer confidence in future network investments.”

Through Mobile Core Early Access, participants can:

  • Explore the latest mobile core capabilities and use cases as they become available.
  • Evaluate innovations in a live, end-to-end environment that includes network functions, radios and devices.
  • Gain visibility into how new capabilities operate across cloud-native network functions, user interfaces and operational workflows.
  • Support technology planning and readiness by understanding deployment considerations earlier in the process.
  • Reduce the effort required to establish initial testing environments and align stakeholders on use cases and business value.

For participants requiring extended access, broader flexibility, or deeper integration with their own environments, Nokia offers a paid option to support more advanced evaluation, experimentation, and validation activities.

Abdulrahman AlMufadda, Deputy Minister for Telecom and Digital Infrastructure at the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT) in Saudi Arabia.

 

“AI is reshaping every industry, and networks are the critical infrastructure that will make that transformation possible. Our new R&D center in Riyadh will bring Nokia’s global expertise together with Saudi talent to develop AI-powered automation that makes networks more autonomous, efficient and responsive. It also strengthens the Kingdom’s role in creating connectivity innovation for customers in Saudi Arabia and around the world,” commented Mikko Lavanti, President of Nokia’s Middle East and Africa (MEA) at Nokia.

Nokia julkistaa aikaisempia vuosineljänneksiä koskevaa uudelleenluokiteltua taloudellista informaatiota, joka heijastaa Fixed Wireless Access CPE ja Enterprise Campus Edge -liiketoimintojen esittämistä lopetettuina toimintoina

    

Nokia Oyj

Pörssitiedote

23.7.2026 klo 8.15

 

Nokia julkistaa aikaisempia vuosineljänneksiä koskevaa uudelleenluokiteltua taloudellista informaatiota, joka heijastaa Fixed Wireless Access CPE ja Enterprise Campus Edge -liiketoimintojen esittämistä lopetettuina toimintoina

 

Nokia julkistaa tänään vuoden 2026 ensimmäistä neljännestä ja vuotta 2025 koskevaa uudelleenluokiteltua taloudellista informaatiota koko konsernin sekä raportoitavien segmenttien osalta, mikä heijastaa Fixed Wireless Access CPE - ja Enterprise Campus Edge -liiketoimintojen esittämistä lopetettuina toimintoina.

 

Fixed Wireless Access CPE - ja Enterprise Campus Edge liiketoimintojen esittäminen lopetettuina toimintoina

 

Osana strategiatyötä, joka johti Nokian uuteen strategiaan ja sen toimintojen uudelleenjärjestelyyn kahteen päätoimintasegmenttiin, Nokia tunnisti liiketoimintoja, jotka eivät tue sen strategisia tavoitteita. Nämä liiketoiminnot siirrettiin erilliseen Portfolioliiketoiminnot-segmenttiin 1.1.2026 alkaen yhtiön jatkaessa sen arviointia, missä näillä liiketoiminnoilla on parhaimmat arvonluontimahdollisuudet. Vuoden 2026 toisen neljänneksen aikana Nokia luokitteli Portfolioliiketoiminnot-segmenttiin kuuluneet Fixed Wireless Access CPE- ja Enterprise Campus Edge -liiketoiminnot lopetetuiksi toiminnoiksi. Tämä oli seurausta Nokian tekemästä sopimuksesta, jonka mukaan se myy Fixed Wireless Access CPE -liiketoimintonsa, ja Nokian tekemästä arviosta, että on erittäin todennäköistä, että Enterprise Campus Edge -liiketoiminto tullaan myymään. Näiden liiketoimintojen luokittelulla lopetetuiksi toiminnoiksi oli myös pieni vaikutus Verkko- ja Mobiili-infrastruktuuri-segmenteistä esitettävään taloudelliseen informaatioon johtuen odotettujen transaktioiden laajuudesta ja keskitetysti allokoitavista kuluista. Ks. lisätietoja Nokian nykyisestä toimintamallista ja taloudellisesta raportointirakenteesta Nokian vuoden 2026 toisen neljänneksen katsauksen ja tammi-kesäkuun puolivuosikatsauksen liitetiedoista 2. Segmentti-informaatio ja 3. Lopetetut toiminnot ja myytävänä olevat luovutettavien erien ryhmät.

 

Vertailukohdan antamiseksi seuraavissa taulukoissa esitetään tiivistelmä Nokia-konsernin ja sen segmenttien tilintarkastamattomista tuloslaskelmista kaikilta neljänneksiltä sekä koko vuodelta vuoden 2025 osalta, sekä kahdelta ensimmäiseltä neljännekseltä ja tammi-kesäkuulta vuoden 2026 osalta. Tiedot heijastavat Fixed Wireless Access CPE- ja Enterprise Campus Edge -liiketoimintojen esittämistä lopetettuina toimintoina.
