The partnership aims to empower developers, drive innovation, and enhance 5G adoption
Nokia has expanded its partnership with Google Cloud to help developers create new 5G applications more quickly. This collaboration will use Google Cloud’s AI tools, including Vertex AI and Gemini 1.5 Pro, to enhance Nokia’s Network as Code platform.
Nokia’s platform, now running on Google Cloud, will provide developers with the tools they need to build 5G apps. These tools include software development kits (SDKs), network API documentation, a sandbox for testing code, and code snippets. The platform operates on a revenue-sharing model among developers, operators, and Nokia.
Initially, the partnership will focus on the healthcare industry, aiming to improve telehealth services for better and safer customer experiences. The two companies plan to extend this focus to other industries in the future.
“Through this important collaboration with Nokia, we are enabling our global developer community to tap into the greenfield opportunity that 5G networks provide,” said Ankur Jain, Vice President, Google Distributed Cloud and Global Telco Industry at Google Cloud in the announcement’s press release.
“Our developer community is a strong innovation driver globally, and we believe the telecom space offers significant value creation opportunities through new applications,” he continued.
“We are excited to expand our collaboration with Google Cloud, enabling thousands of Google Cloud developers to tap into our network capabilities so that they can create value for their customers faster,” said Raghav Sahgal, President of Cloud and Network Services at Nokia.
