One New Zealand is expanding its partnership with Nokia to accelerate AI-native network operations, introducing predictive automation and trusted data capabilities as it advances toward Level 3 and Level 4 autonomous networks.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One New Zealand has selected Nokia\u2019s autonomous networks solutions to accelerate its journey toward higher levels of network autonomy and AI-native operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deployment will establish a unified, trusted foundation that helps the operator anticipate network conditions, make faster decisions and act before issues affect customers. It will also support One New Zealand\u2019s progress toward TM Forum Level 3 and Level 4 autonomous network capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the agreement, One New Zealand will deploy Nokia Assurance Center and Autonomous Networks Data Suite, while Nokia will supply R&D co-creation and consulting services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agreement represents the next step in One New Zealand\u2019s strategic partnership with Nokia, building on the Unified Inventory and Nokia Orchestration Center investments made in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The addition of these capabilities extends that foundation, bringing together different toolsets into an increasingly integrated framework and maintaining momentum toward higher levels of network autonomy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nokia\u2019s glass-box approach to autonomous networks gives operations teams visibility into what is happening, why decisions are made and how actions are governed, helping them anticipate and resolve issues before customers are affected while progressively expanding automation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe ambition for autonomous networks is no longer simply to automate more tasks. It is to enable networks to sense changing conditions, make trusted decisions and act at machine speed,\u201d said Shkumbin Hamiti, Head of Autonomous Networks at Nokia. \u201cTogether with One New Zealand, we are creating a clear path toward higher levels of autonomy, with the transparency and operational control needed to improve network performance and customer experience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBuilding greater autonomy into our network is a journey, and this agreement represents the next step in the transformation we have already started,\u201d said Sharina Nisha, CTO, One New Zealand. \u201cBy building on the capabilities already in place, we are creating a stronger foundation for predictive, data-driven operations and progressively expanding how we use AI and automation to improve network performance and the experience we deliver for our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deployment will help One New Zealand move toward a predictive, data-driven, autonomous operating model that can anticipate changing conditions and support faster, more consistent decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open interfaces and on-premises deployment options will give the telecommunications provider flexibility to develop new AI and automation use cases while retaining sovereignty over its data, models and operational environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The partnership supports Nokia\u2019s strategy to build autonomous networks for the AI era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As AI becomes the dominant workload of the network economy, networks must evolve from static infrastructure into programmable, AI-native platforms that can anticipate changing conditions, operate at machine speed and deliver deterministic performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nokia is helping customers make that transition with a complete, trusted foundation for progressively advancing toward Level 4 and beyond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
