Google Cloud and Nokia Expand Gemini Partnership for Telecom Network Operations

IT-NEWS, June 22 — Google Cloud and Nokia announced an expanded partnership on June 22, integrating Google’s Gemini models into Nokia’s network software suite, the Nokia Assurance Center. The collaboration aims to bring advanced AI reasoning directly into the operational fabric of telecom networks worldwide.

IT-NEWS has learned that the two companies will develop six specialized AI agents powered by Gemini, each targeting a distinct function within network operations. Together, they promise to help telecom operators slash operational costs, accelerate fault diagnosis, and push network management toward a fully autonomous “self-driving” model.

The six agents cover the full lifecycle of network operations. The Router agent acts as the central orchestration layer, parsing operator intent and managing communication between the other agents while ensuring all actions stay within security and compliance boundaries. The Event Triage agent analyzes real-time alerts and compares them against historical data patterns to pinpoint root causes and assess the actual operational impact. The KPI Selector agent brings domain-expert-level analysis to bear on complex performance metrics, definitions, and measurement units, aiding the system’s reasoning capabilities.

On the diagnostic front, the Anomaly Reasoner agent investigates unusual network behavior to determine whether a data deviation represents a genuine fault or a false alarm. The Action Reasoner agent then matches active events against a catalog of automated operations, recommending specific remediation steps. Finally, the Dashboard agent allows engineering teams to generate visual analytics and data-tracking interfaces through natural language prompts.

Nokia and Google Cloud plan to demonstrate the six agents live at the DTW Ignite conference in Copenhagen, running from June 23 through June 25.
