Under this partnership, Google Cloud and Nokia will work closely together to validate, optimize, and develop cloud-native network capabilities, and the two companies will also innovate with new solutions to help CSPs deliver 5G connectivity and services at scale.

Today, global CSPs can unlock new monetization opportunities by driving 5G connectivity and advanced services to enterprise customers at the network edge, delivering new digital experiences to consumers. Google Cloud and Nokia will create solutions that combine Nokia's 5G operations services and network capabilities with Google Cloud's leading AI, ML, and analytics technologies, running on Anthos as a platform to move workloads to the network edge across public and private clouds.

As part of this collaboration, Nokia is supplying its voice core, cloud packet core, network exposure function, data management, signaling, and 5G core. This includes Nokia's IMPACT IoT Connected Devices Platform, which enables contactless automated activation and remote management of IoT devices, as well as Nokia's Converged Charging solution, which provides real-time billing and collection capabilities that allow CSPs to capture new revenue opportunities from the 5G economy.

Google Cloud's Anthos for Telecom will serve as a platform for application deployment, enabling CSPs to build an ecosystem of services that can be deployed anywhere, from the network edge to public clouds, private clouds, and carrier networks. By delivering cloud-native applications at the edge, businesses can benefit from lower latency and reduce the need for costly on-premises infrastructure, allowing them to transform their businesses in industries such as smart retail, connected manufacturing, and digital consumer experiences.
