Nokia

Nokia is a Finnish telecom equipment maker repositioning itself as a key infrastructure provider for artificial intelligence. The company has partnered with chip giant Nvidia to develop AI-powered 6G networks, marking a strategic expansion into next-generation wireless technologies.

Nokia has also entered the AI photonics market, estimated at $154 billion by industry analysts, where optical technologies enable efficient data transmission for AI systems. Nvidia's billion-dollar investment in Nokia reflects the chip maker's confidence that the Finnish company will be central to building the computational infrastructure for artificial intelligence.

This positions Nokia to apply its decades of telecommunications experience to the emerging infrastructure demands of AI workloads and next-generation networks.
