Nokia and Google Cloud expand partnership to deploy Gemini AI agents for telecom network automation

Nokia Stock Gains As Google Cloud Partnership Adds Gemini AI Agents - Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG), Nokia (NYSE

* Nokia stock is surging to new heights today. What's driving NOK stock higher? Gemini Agents For Network Automation Google Cloud and Nokia expanded their partnership to bring Gemini-powered AI agents into Nokia's Assurance Center. The partnership aims to help telecom providers automate network operations, cut costs and resolve service issues faster. Nokia is developing six specialized agents for telecom network automation. The agents support event triage, anomaly detection, KPI analysis, and remediation recommendations. They also handle orchestration and natural-language dashboard creation. The agents use Google Cloud's Agent Development Kit and Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform. Troubleshooting and Automation Benefits The companies said the system can reduce network troubleshooting times 50% to 80%. It does this by filtering false alarms, identifying root causes and recommending corrective actions. Nokia's "glass box autonomy" approach keeps engineers in control of critical decisions while enabling closed-loop automation in approved, low-risk scenarios. The router and event triage agents are already functional. Nokia plans to launch the initial certified agent pack on Google Cloud Marketplace in September 2026. Additional agents will roll out from late 2026 through 2027 across Nokia's broader network software portfolio. Executive Commentary "The AI era demands a new kind of network -- one that is programmable, AI-native, and able to operate at machine speed," said Vivek Jaiswal, senior vice president, Autonomous Networks at Nokia. "Agentic AI marks a fundamental shift in how telecommunications networks are managed, moving operators away from rigid templates to dynamic, goal-oriented automation," said Sridhar Gollapudi, global telco market lead at Google Cloud. Nokia's Broader AI and 5G Push The Gemini partnership adds to Nokia's broader AI and 5G product activity. Recent initiatives include Nokia's plan to add an agentic AI framework to its Network Services Platform by the end of 2026. It also expanded an Indonesian partnership with Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison to extend mid-band 5G coverage. Nokia is working with NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:NVDA) on AI Grid and AI-RAN, with field trials planned by year-end 2026. NOK Stock Price Activity: Nokia shares were trading up 5.34% at $14.21 at the time of publication on Monday, according to Benzinga Pro data.

Nokia Corporation And Google Cloud Partner To Embed AI Agents Built With Google's Gemini Models Into Nokia Corporation's Autonomous Network Product Suite

Nokia Corporation and Google Cloud announced an expanded partnership that will integrate Google's Gemini models into Nokia Corporation's network software suite, the Nokia Assurance Center. By developing six specialized AI agents built with Gemini, Google's most capable family of multimodal models, Nokia Corporation will advance its capacity to help telecommunication providers lower operational costs, rapidly resolve network issues, and move toward fully automated, self-driving operations. This partnership addresses these challenges by using agents to instantly process raw data, helping telecom providers distinguish critical infrastructure issues from background noise to accelerate repairs and protect revenue. Nokia Corporation is introducing six specialized agents, each designed to manage specific operational tasks independently or work together to solve complex network problems, including: Router agent: Acts as the central orchestration layer by interpreting user intent and managing communication between other agents while ensuring compliance with operational guardrails. Event triage agent: Analyzes ongoing alarms and compares them against historical patterns to identify root causes and assess operational impact. KPI selector agent: Provides domain-expert interpretation of complex network performance metrics, definitions, and measurement units to aid reasoning. Anomaly reasoner agent: Investigates unusual network behavior to determine if a deviation is a genuine issue or a false alarm. Action reasoner agent: Matches active events against automation catalogs to recommend specific remediation steps. Dashboard agent: Enables teams to quickly generate visual analytics and tracking screens using natural language prompts. Nokia Corporation developed these capabilities using Google Cloud's Agent Development Kit (ADK) on the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform. This framework allowed Nokia Corporation to quickly develop smart conversational and routing paths that leverage Gemini's multimodal reasoning. Instead of requiring complex managed services, the entire multi-agent framework runs seamlessly on standard Google Cloud compute and storage. By deploying the agents directly via standard tools like Kubernetes and Google Cloud Storage, Nokia Corporation ensures the solution remains cost-optimized, flexible, and fully compatible with existing customer environments, including Google Cloud tenants. Rather than removing operators from the loop, the framework introduces what Nokia Corporation calls "glass box autonomy." The action reasoner agent serves as an advisory layer, presenting confidence-based recommendations to human engineers, who retain final approval over critical control points before fixes are automatically executed and logged. For low-risk, policy-approved scenarios, the same architecture can also support completely closed-loop automation. The router and event triage agents are already fully functional. When the platform officially launches as a SaaS model on the Google Cloud Marketplace in September 2026, operators will be able to deploy this initial starter pack of certified agents immediately to work with the Nokia Assurance Center. Instead of making customers wait for all agents to be finalized, Nokia Corporation will deliver the remaining, more complex agents through rolling software updates. These continuous releases will expand capabilities across Nokia Corporation's broader network portfolio?including Unified Inventory, Data Suite, and Orchestration applications?beginning in late 2026 and continuing throughout 2027. Live demonstrations of these autonomous network agents will be on display at DTW Ignite in Copenhagen, from June 23 - 25. Attendees can view a live voice degradation use case at both the Google Cloud booth (#201) and the Nokia Corporation booth (#306), as well as a multi-partner fiber-break automation simulation featured in the Innovation Zone.
