  • NOK's AI tools can help lift helpdesk efficiency and cut repeat technician visits by 50% via guided support.

Nokia Corporation (NOK - Free Report) is expanding its broadband business by launching new agentic artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities for home and fixed broadband networks. The AI-powered solutions are designed to help telecom companies improve customer service, speed up fiber deployments and reduce operating costs through smarter automation and network management.

Nokia's new AI features have been added to its Altiplano, Corteca and Broadband Easy platforms. Backed by the company’s experience from more than 600 million broadband connections worldwide, the AI tools can automatically detect problems, fix network issues in real time and improve customer support. The solution can help improve helpdesk efficiency, identify network issues within five minutes and reduce repeat technician visits by 50%.

The platform also helps field technicians and customer support teams work more efficiently. The AI-powered assistant uses voice, text and image guidance to assist technicians during network installation and maintenance, while computer vision helps check work quality and monitor fiber networks. Its open and secure architecture allows telecom companies to use their own AI models and data while maintaining full control over operations.

As the telecom industry is projected to invest $6.2 billion in agentic AI by 2030, Nokia’s latest initiative positions it at the forefront of the emerging broadband era, where AI will make networks smarter and more automated, with a focus on improving customer experience.
