Nokia secures a multi-year agreement with Telefónica to deploy AI-centric networking solutions across Spain. The deal ensures Nokia's involvement in 17 Edge sites and supports Telefónica’s delivery of AI, B2B, and Cloud services. This move comes as Spain's data center market rapidly expands.
Nokia has landed a significant multi-year contract with Telefónica to implement AI-focused networking solutions aimed at bolstering the Edge data centre network throughout Spain, the Finnish company announced on Thursday.
This strategic deal underscores the emergence of AI-driven data centres as lucrative revenue streams for Nokia, which remains heavily invested in its 5G operations. Nokia will take exclusive charge of connectivity at 17 Edge sites, 12 of which are currently operational.
