Nokia and Taiwan Mobile have expanded their long-standing 5G partnership with a new agreement aimed at accelerating the rollout of AI-powered mobile networks across Taiwan. The collaboration will focus on increasing network capacity, improving automation and strengthening energy efficiency as operators prepare for the next phase of AI-driven connectivity.
Under the expanded agreement, Nokia will deploy its latest AirScale radio access network portfolio, including advanced radio equipment and next-generation baseband solutions designed to enhance network performance. The upgrades are expected to improve throughput, increase spectrum efficiency and deliver a more consistent user experience as demand for high-speed data services continues to grow.
The partnership also introduces AI-driven network automation technologies that will help Taiwan Mobile optimize network operations, improve resilience and simplify day-to-day management. By incorporating intelligent automation into the network, the operator aims to reduce operational complexity while maintaining reliable service quality across its nationwide infrastructure.
Energy efficiency is another key focus of the collaboration. Nokia’s solutions, powered by its ReefShark System-on-Chip technology, are designed to lower power consumption while supporting higher network capacity, aligning with Taiwan Mobile’s broader sustainability objectives.
The latest agreement builds on an established relationship between the two companies, with Nokia continuing its role as a strategic technology partner in Taiwan Mobile’s network evolution. As artificial intelligence increasingly shapes telecommunications infrastructure, both companies are positioning the network to support future AI-native services while meeting growing consumer and enterprise connectivity requirements.
Beyond expanding coverage and capacity, the upgraded network is intended to create a stronger foundation for emerging digital applications that rely on intelligent, automated and high-performance connectivity. The investment reflects a broader industry shift toward integrating AI capabilities directly into mobile network operations, enabling operators to respond more efficiently to changing traffic patterns and service demands.
With the enhanced deployment, Taiwan Mobile aims to deliver improved customer experiences while preparing its infrastructure for the evolving needs of AI-enabled services and future network technologies. Nokia, meanwhile, continues to strengthen its presence in Asia’s telecommunications market by supporting operators seeking to modernize networks for the AI era.
