Two inspiring days at our Budapest R&D site. Our AI Activation Day, organized together with AWS, brought colleagues across roles together to explore how AI is transforming telecom and software development. From insightful keynotes to hands-on labs, Day 1 built strong momentum and sparked great discussions. Day 2 shifted fully into action: teams collaborated, experimented, and turned ideas into real prototypes with support from AWS experts and internal coaches. The result? A wide range of creative, high-impact AI solutions. Congratulations to all teams and the winners for not only shaping strong concepts but delivering working prototypes. #NokiaBudapest #TeamNokia

As NVIDIA GTC 2026 draws to a close in San Jose, we're energized by the momentum around AI-accelerated networks and the transformative potential of AI-RAN. AI isn't just a buzzword; it’s fundamentally changing network demand. AI agents don’t rest, and physical AI demands absolute, deterministic reliability. To keep up, the Radio Access Network must move beyond the slow crawl of hardware refresh cycles. Nokia’s AI-RAN architecture changes the game by decoupling hardware from software: • Programmable Platform: Inject intelligence via governed interfaces. • Software Speed: Continuous improvement without the "rip and replace" headache. • Proven Stability: Real-world results, today.

On Day 3 of OFC 2026 the AI conversation continued – this time focused on AI-enabled automation. Solutions Marketing Manager Pino Dicorato, MSc, MBA walked Renee Glowacki through how our optical automation solutions are helping AI and cloud providers add capacity at incredible rates and turn up networks quickly. Another technology that may prove as impactful as AI is quantum computing. Renee also talked to Chris Janson Chris Janson about why now is the time for quantum-safe networks and how our defense-in-depth approach offers security for mission-critical infrastructure. Thanks for watching – see you back in LA next year for OFC 2027!

Speed alone won’t define the next generation of Wi-Fi. In his latest blog, Klaus Doppler, Head of Wi-Fi Research Centre of Excellence at Nokia, shares his perspective on Wi-Fi 9, which will be built to deliver real-world performance, not just theoretical speeds. That means: • Multi-gigabit speeds users actually experience across devices • Predictable, reliable connectivity for XR, robotics and tactile interaction • Strong performance in dense environments with dozens of devices • Improved energy efficiency for mobile devices and access points Together, these capabilities could support the next generation of immersive, intelligent digital services.

Day 2 at OFC 2026 started off strong with our Executive Briefing Event, where Nokia leaders shared our next-generation optical networking vision. Renee Glowacki spoke with Head of Marketing for Optical Networks Robert Shore about this vision and the new application-optimized technologies designed to redefine how connectivity will scale in the AI era that we premiered at the show. She also caught up with Fady Masoud M. Eng. Senior Director of Product Marketing, about the coherent pluggable optics revolution, and Julia Larikova, Vice President of Product Management, on how our new multi-rail optical line system will enable network operators to deliver higher capacity and lower cost per bit. One more day to go! See you tomorrow. #OFC26 #OpticalNetworks

We’re excited to be at OFC 2026, showcasing how Nokia is advancing connectivity for the AI era. This week, we’re unveiling major innovations across optical networking, routing, automation and data‑center connectivity, all designed to help operators accelerate their AI‑native network evolution. From next‑generation coherent transport solutions to breakthroughs in power‑efficient data‑center connectivity, our technology demonstrates what it means to build networks that are simpler, faster and ready for the AI supercycle. Take a look as Louise Fisk (nee Metcalfe), our CCMO highlights what is happening at OFC and how Nokia is shaping the future of critical connectivity. #OFC2026 #OpticalNetworks #Connectivity
