Nokia is transforming its core business model by focusing heavily on network infrastructure, optical networking, and enterprise technology. As reported by Detik Finance, a major shift occurred this year that positions the company at the center of artificial intelligence infrastructure development. In May 2026, Nokia and Nvidia announced a landmark strategic partnership where Nvidia will invest $1 billion in Nokia at $6.01 per share. This massive investment aims to accelerate the deployment of AI-RAN, a new category of radio access networks built natively for artificial intelligence workloads. The financial agreement gives Nvidia a 2.9% stake in Nokia. Additionally, T-Mobile has signed on to execute field trials of the AI-RAN technology within this year, validating the industry interest in this infrastructure play. Beyond the AI-RAN agreement, Nokia's optical networking division represents a crucial growth vector for the company. Nokia plans to bring a second indium phosphide semiconductor fabrication facility online in San Jose, California, later this year. Indium phosphide serves as the essential substrate powering high-speed optical transceivers. These components physically transfer data inside AI data centers at the extreme speeds that modern computational workloads require. Nokia maintains a durable advantage in this supply-constrained market by manufacturing these...
