The partnership will integrate Nvidia's Grace CPUs and Blackwell GPUs with Nokia's radio technologies through the Aerial RAN Computer Pro platform. T-Mobile will begin 6G trials in 2026, with Nvidia estimating telecom operators could gain $5 in AI inference revenue for every $1 invested in AI-RAN infrastructure. Nokia's stock jumped 22% following the announcement. ## Content Nvidia has made a strategic investment of $1 billion in Nokia, acquiring a 2.9% stake in the company. This partnership aims to advance AI networking solutions and data center infrastructure crucial for the development of AI-native 6G networks. Nvidia and Nokia's collaboration will focus on AI radio technologies, with plans for commercial deployment by 2027. The investment has resulted in Nokia's stock soaring by 22%, illustrating market confidence in the venture. Together, the companies are set to collaborate with T-Mobile to initiate 6G trials as early as next year, potentially positioning the US as a leader in the telecommunications industry of the future. Nvidia's investment in Nokia is part of a broader strategy, as the tech giant recently achieved a $5 trillion market valuation. This reinforced its status amidst strong demand for AI chips and ongoing discussions on exporting its cutting-edge Blackwell AI chips to China. Nokia is adapting its current 5G and future 6G software to be compatible with Nvidia's specialized chips. Moreover, the partnership introduces the Aerial RAN Computer Pro platform, which integrates Grace CPUs, Blackwell GPUs, and Mellanox ConnectX networking for 6G-ready networks. The initiative emphasizes the integration of AI technology into mobile networks, offering solutions like AI-RAN products that can improve spectral efficiency and enhance edge AI inference. Nvidia estimates that telecom operators might gain $5 in AI inference revenue for every $1 invested in AI-RAN infrastructure, promising substantial returns for adopters. This significant collaboration is part of Nvidia's strategic investments, following a $5 billion commitment in Intel, $100 billion in OpenAI, and stakes in innovative companies like Wayve and Nscale. With T-Mobile planning to deploy these advanced technologies for testing in 2026, Nvidia and Nokia are poised to push the boundaries of telecommunications technology. ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Nokia and Nvidia launch the first commercial AI-RAN](https://daily.dev/posts/nokia-and-nvidia-launch-the-first-commercial-ai-ran-qswetdrmp) · The Next Web · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [AI-RAN Trials Hint At 6G’s AI-Native Future](https://daily.dev/posts/ai-ran-trials-hint-at-6g-s-ai-native-future-vifr9rl9f) · IEEE Spectrum · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#ai](https://daily.dev/tags/ai), [#networking](https://daily.dev/tags/networking), [#nvidia](https://daily.dev/tags/nvidia) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/nvidia-invests-1-billion-in-strategic-partnership-with-nokia-for-6g-development-zhhvbaap5) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Nvidia Invests $1 Billion in Strategic Partnership with Nokia for 6G Development","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/nvidia-invests-1-billion-in-strategic-partnership-with-nokia-for-6g-development-zhhvbaap5","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/nvidia-invests-1-billion-in-strategic-partnership-with-nokia-for-6g-development-zhhvbaap5"},"datePublished":"2025-10-29T05:33:53.757Z","dateModified":"2025-10-29T15:03:43.616Z","description":"Nvidia invested $1 billion for a 2.9% stake in Nokia to develop AI-native 6G networks, with commercial deployment planned for 2027.
