Jio Platforms, AMD, Cisco, and Nokia Announce Open Telecom AI Platform at MWC Barcelona 2025

The Mobile World Congress 2025 saw the announcement of Jio Platforms Limited (JPL), AMD, Cisco, and Nokia of their intentions to establish a novel, new Open Telecom AI Platform. The Telecom AI Platform, which was created to assist today's operators and service providers with practical, AI-powered solutions, is expected to spur previously unheard-of levels of efficiency, security, and capability as well as new revenue streams for the service provider sector.

Revolutionizing Telecom with AI

The Open Telecom AI Platform is designed as a comprehensive, multi-domain intelligence framework that enhances network operations while reducing total cost of ownership (TCO). By incorporating advanced AI capabilities—including Agentic AI, Large Language Models (LLMs), Small Language Models (SLMs), and non-generative AI machine learning techniques—the platform will drive unprecedented automation and intelligence across telecom infrastructures.

The Telecom AI Platform will establish a new core intelligence layer for telecom and digital services, driven by the combined experience of global leaders in fields such as RAN, Routing, AI Data Center, Security, and Telecom. Every network operation layer will incorporate automation and artificial intelligence (AI) thanks to this multi-domain intelligence framework.

To maximize its usefulness and capacities, the AI platform will use open APIs and be LLM agnostic. The Telecom AI Platform will provide end-to-end intelligence for network management and operations by utilizing agentic AI and utilizing non-GenAI machine learning approaches, domain-specific Small Language Models (SLMs), and Large Language Models (LLMs).

Jio’s Group CEO, Mathew Oommen, emphasized the transformative potential of AI in telecom operations:

“By harnessing agentic AI across all telco layers, we are building a multimodal, multidomain orchestrated workflow platform that redefines efficiency, intelligence, and security for the telecom industry. In collaboration with AMD, Cisco, and Nokia, Jio is advancing the Open Telecom AI Platform to transform networks into self-optimizing, customer-aware ecosystems.”

AMD Chair and CEO Lisa Su highlighted the role of high-performance computing:

“AMD is proud to collaborate with Jio, Cisco, and Nokia to power AI-driven telecom infrastructure. Our portfolio of high-performance CPUs, GPUs, and adaptive computing solutions will enable secure, scalable, and efficient networks.”

Cisco’s Chair and CEO Chuck Robbins underscored the security and operational advancements:

“This collaboration harnesses the expertise of industry leaders to revolutionize networks with AI. Cisco’s integrated solutions, including Agile Services Networking and AI Defense, will help enhance efficiency, security, and new revenue opportunities.”

Nokia’s President and CEO Pekka Lundmark reaffirmed the company’s commitment to AI-driven network optimization:

“With trusted leadership across RAN, Core, fixed broadband, IP, and optical transport, Nokia is proud to support the Open Telecom AI Platform. This initiative will optimize and monetize network investments through AI-powered security, automation, and superior customer experiences.”

A Novel Open Framework for the Sector

With Jio as the first client, JPL, AMD, Cisco, and Nokia's new Open Telecom AI Platform will be developed, producing a deployable solution and replicable reference architecture for the larger global service provider market.

The Open Telecom AI Platform will promote collaborative development and commercialization of AI-powered telecom products with the goal of improving performance, dependability, security, and user experience. In addition to revolutionizing connectivity, this project aims to spur innovation throughout the telecom and digital services sector, facilitating intelligent automation, increasing network effectiveness, and hastening the uptake of AI-powered applications that improve customer and business experiences.
