Jio Platforms Limited has announced its collaboration with AMD, Cisco, and Nokia to develop an Open Telecom AI Platform aimed at enhancing telecom operations through AI integration.
The new platform is designed to offer real-world, AI-driven solutions to support network operators and service providers. It promises advancements in network efficiency, security, and the creation of new revenue opportunities.
The initiative combines the expertise of leaders in several domains, including Radio Access Networks (RAN), routing, AI data centres, security, and telecom, to build a central intelligence layer for telecom and digital services.
Jio Platforms Limited intends for the AI platform to be LLM agnostic, employing open APIs to maximise functionality. It will utilise agentic AI, Large Language Models (LLMs), domain-specific Small Language Models (SLMs), and non-GenAI machine learning techniques to enable comprehensive network intelligence.
Mathew Oommen, Group CEO of Reliance Jio, stated: "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. In collaboration with AMD, Cisco, and Nokia, Jio is advancing the Open Telecom AI Platform to transform networks into self-optimising, customer-aware ecosystems. 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."
Lisa Su, Chair and CEO of AMD, expressed support: "AMD is proud to collaborate with Jio Platforms Limited, Cisco, and Nokia to power the next generation of AI-driven telecom infrastructure. 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."
Chuck Robbins, Chair and CEO of Cisco, commented on the collaboration's impact: "This collaboration with Jio Platforms Limited, AMD and Nokia harnesses the expertise of industry leaders to revolutionise 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."
Pekka Lundmark, President and CEO at Nokia, added: "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 optimise and monetise 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."
The platform is initially intended for use by Jio as the first customer, creating a replicable reference architecture. This development serves as a blueprint for the wider service provider industry, promoting the joint creation and commercialisation of AI-powered telecom solutions.
This initiative is not just about connectivity transformation but also aims to drive innovation across the entire telecom and digital services ecosystem. It seeks to enable intelligent automation, optimise network efficiency, and accelerate the adoption of AI-driven applications that enhance both enterprise and consumer experiences.
