A groundbreaking partnership between tech giants Jio Platforms, AMD, Cisco, and Nokia aims to revolutionize telecom networks through a new Open Telecom AI Platform. Announced at Mobile World Congress 2025, this initiative represents a significant shift in how artificial intelligence and automation are integrated into telecommunications infrastructure, potentially reshaping how service providers manage and optimize their networks.
The big picture: The Open Telecom AI Platform will create a central intelligence layer for telecom services, integrating AI and automation across all network operations.
- The platform is designed to be model-agnostic, supporting multiple AI types including large language models (LLMs) and domain-specific small language models (SLMs).
- Open APIs will enable seamless integration with existing telecom systems while optimizing functionality and capabilities.
Key details: Jio will serve as the first customer, establishing a reference architecture for global telecom providers.
- The platform incorporates various AI technologies, including agentic AI and non-GenAI machine learning techniques.
- The solution aims to enhance network security and efficiency while reducing total cost of ownership (TCO).
Why this matters: The initiative could transform how telecom networks operate, moving from manual management to AI-driven autonomous systems.
- This shift promises to enable real-time network adaptation and enhanced user experiences.
- The platform could create new service and revenue opportunities across the digital ecosystem.
What they’re saying: Mathew Oommen, Group CEO of Reliance Jio, emphasized the platform’s transformative potential.
- “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,” Oommen stated.
- He highlighted the platform’s ability to transform networks into “self-optimizing, customer-aware ecosystems.”
Looking ahead: The platform’s success with Jio will serve as a blueprint for broader industry adoption.
- The initiative aims to drive innovation across the entire telecom and digital services ecosystem.
- Focus will be placed on intelligent automation and network efficiency optimization.
