    What happened 

    Japanese telecom giant SoftBank has announced a strategic partnership with Finnish tech firm Nokia to jointly research and develop next-generation communication technologies. The focus will be on creating AI-augmented radio access network systems using Nokia’s Cloud RAN platform to provide faster and more flexible connectivity. These AI-enabled systems could autonomously manage radio frequencies and traffic flows, allowing for real-time traffic analysis without additional hardware.

    The companies emphasise that AI-enhanced RAN could significantly contribute to smart city development, industrial automation, and the emergence of new business models. Under this agreement, both firms will collaborate on advancing 6G networks aimed at delivering more reliable high-speed communication. SoftBank intends to leverage this partnership to address challenges within a digital society.
