📅 - Nokia has taken a new step to strengthen its position in network automation by entering into a global licensing agreement with Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE). The deal will see Nokia acquire rights to HPE's RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) technology and integrate it with its own MantaRay Service Management and Orchestration (SMO) platform, which is designed to drive AI-powered automation in radio access networks.
As part of the agreement, effective October 1, 2025, much of the HPE development team working on RIC has transferred to Nokia's Mobile Networks unit. This provides Nokia not only with intellectual property but also with technical expertise to accelerate product development. [...][... Check source for end of article ...]
📅 - 123NET Grows Southfield Data Center for AI Deployments - The enhancements include a significant 4-megawatt power extension, making it the only facility in Michigan to combine free on-site peering with high-density GPU power with liquid and air-cooled infrastructure. This allows for latency-sensitive applications and reduces network expenses by up to 70%. Businesses can implement massive GPU infrastructure for real-time AI applications and machine learning at scale thanks to data center optimization.
The data center's on-premises Detroit Internet transmission (DET-iX) switching fabric, which offers direct peering and fewer network hops for quicker data transmission, is a significant distinction.
According to Dan Irvin, founder and CEO of [...]
