As part of this upgrade, AT&T will add Voice over New Radio (VoNR) and move its Nokia IMS Voice Core to a cloud-based system. This will help the company roll out new services faster, cut costs, and improve automation. 

AT&T will also use Nokia’s Cloud Platform to simplify network operations and reduce the need for manual work. Additionally, Nokia’s Digital Operations software will help AT&T automate the design and delivery of services across its network. 

“With focused execution and investment, AT&T continues to make excellent progress in realizing automation at all levels of its network and service operations. We are pleased to continue our relationship with Nokia to further optimize our network operations and enable new services that better support our customers’ evolving needs,” said Yigal Elbaz, SVP of Technology & Network Services at AT&T in a press release. 

“As a long-time collaborator with AT&T, Nokia fully understands the important journey AT&T is on to enhance automation, reduce complexity, decrease deployment times, and perform operational workflows faster to better serve its customers, and glean more value from its network. Through our network solutions, Nokia will boost AT&T’s network agility, efficiency, and service offerings,” echoed Raghav Sahgal, President of Cloud and Network Services at Nokia.
