Key Takeaways
At Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025, Jio Platforms Limited (JPL) announced a partnership with AMD, Cisco, and Nokia to develop the Open Telecom AI Platform, a groundbreaking initiative to transform network operations through AI and automation.
This platform enhances telecom network efficiency, security, and scalability by integrating multi-domain AI intelligence across various network layers.
The AI-driven solution will create a central intelligence layer, enabling real-time decision-making, predictive maintenance, and automated network optimization.
Jio to Lead Deployment as First Adopter
Jio will be the first telecom operator to implement the Open Telecom AI Platform, providing a scalable reference model for global telecom operators.
The AI-driven platform will be designed to:
This initiative goes beyond automation—it’s about enabling AI-driven, autonomous networks that adapt in real time, enhance user experiences, and create new service and revenue opportunities across the digital ecosystem.” – Mathew Oommen, Group CEO, Reliance Jio.
The Open Telecom AI Platform will be LLM-agnostic and will utilize open APIs, making it adaptable for telecom providers across different markets. Key AI technologies integrated into the platform include:How the AI Platform Works
The AI-driven approach will also improve network resilience, enabling automated troubleshooting and real-time performance optimization.
AI in Cybersecurity: Strengthening Telecom Networks
One of the major advantages of the Open Telecom AI Platform is its AI-powered security features.
AI will play a crucial role in:
This AI-driven security framework will allow telecom providers to proactively address cyber threats, ensuring enhanced network protection.
Executives from AMD, Cisco, and Nokia shared insights into how this partnership will shape the future of AI in telecom.
“By leveraging our broad portfolio of high-performance CPUs, GPUs, and adaptive computing solutions, service providers will be able to create more secure, efficient, and scalable networks. Together we can bring the transformational benefits of AI to both operators and users and enable innovative services that will shape the future of communications and connectivity.”
“This collaboration with Jio Platforms Limited, AMD and Nokia harnesses the expertise of industry leaders to revolutionize networks with AI. Cisco is proud of the role we play here with integrated solutions from across our stack including Cisco Agile Services Networking, Data Center Networking, Compute, AI Defense, and Splunk Analytics. We look forward to seeing how the Telecom AI Platform will boost efficiency, enhance security, and unlock new revenue streams for service provider customers.”
“Nokia possesses trusted technology leadership in multiple domains, including RAN, Core, fixed broadband, IP and optical transport. We are delighted to bring this broad expertise to the table in service of today’s important announcement. The Telecom AI Platform will help Jio to optimize and monetize their network investments through enhanced performance, security, operational efficiency, automation and greatly improved customer experience, all via the immense power of artificial intelligence. I am proud that Nokia is contributing to this work.”
Jio Brain: AI-as-a-Service for Enterprises
Beyond telecom networks, Jio is developing Jio Brain, an AI-as-a-Service (AIaaS) platform designed for enterprises.
Jio Brain will allow businesses to: This move indicates Jio’s broader vision for AI, positioning itself as a key AI player beyond the telecom sector. With the AI-driven telecom space growing, competitors such as Ericsson, Huawei, and Google Cloud have also invested in AI-driven network solutions. However, the Open Telecom AI Platform differentiates itself by being LLM-agnostic, allowing greater flexibility for telecom providers, utilizing open APIs, enabling wider industry adoption, and fffering AI-driven cybersecurity solutions, setting it apart from traditional network optimization platforms. While the exact deployment timeline has not been disclosed, the AI platform is expected to undergo testing and pilot phases before being rolled out at scale. The initial deployment will focus on Jio’s network in India, with potential expansion into global markets in collaboration with AMD, Cisco, and Nokia. The Open Telecom AI Platform represents a major shift towards AI-driven, self-optimizing telecom networks. With Jio, AMD, Cisco, and Nokia leading this initiative, the telecom industry is set to experience enhanced automation, improved security, and new revenue-generating opportunities. As AI continues to reshape the future of telecom, this initiative could position Jio as a leader in AI-powered network intelligence, setting a global standard for next-generation telecom operations.
