\nIn an exchange filing, HCLTech said it will work with Nokia to accelerate the adoption of autonomous networks through AI-driven network automation and the co-development of radio access network applications (rApps).<\/p>\n

\nAs part of the collaboration, HCLTech will add four AI-powered rApps to Nokia’s Service Management and Orchestration (SMO) Marketplace, enabling communication service providers (CSPs) to move towards AI-native and self-optimising network operations.<\/p>\n

\nThe four applications include an Anomaly Detector rApp for identifying network irregularities, an Energy Optimizer rApp for improving energy efficiency during low-traffic periods, an mMIMO Interference Mitigation rApp aimed at improving signal quality and network efficiency, and a Traffic Balancer rApp designed to reduce congestion and latency.<\/p>\n

\nThe companies will also establish a long-term co-innovation roadmap to jointly develop next-generation rApps for 5G and future network architectures.<\/p>\n

\n“Autonomous networks require a strong ecosystem approach built on openness, intelligence and innovation,” said Hari Sadarahalli, Corporate Vice President and Global Head, Engineering and R&D Services, HCLTech.<\/p>\n

\n“Our partnership with Nokia enables us to bring scalable, AI-driven rApps to the forefront, helping operators accelerate network automation, improve efficiency and confidently advance toward self-driving networks,” he added.<\/p>\n

\nSeparately, HCLTech said it has been selected as a strategic partner by Finland-based Neste as part of the company’s performance improvement programme focused on strengthening operations and supporting growth in its renewables business.<\/p>\n

\nUnder the partnership, HCLTech will drive IT service consolidation, improve operational efficiency and help build a scalable technology capability for the company.<\/p>\n

\nEeva Sipil\u00e4, Chief Financial Officer at Neste, said, “As part of our ongoing efforts to improve performance and simplify our IT landscape, this partnership plays a key role in strengthening our core IT capabilities.”<\/p>\n

\n“Our initial priority is to drive efficiency and maintain business continuity. We look forward to building a solid foundation and a long-term collaboration to deliver Neste’s business goals,” she added.<\/p>\n

\nAjay Bahl, Chief Growth Officer, Energy and Manufacturing at HCLTech, said the partnership would help strengthen Neste’s technology operations.<\/p>\n

\n“This partnership is an important step in strengthening Neste’s IT service delivery and supporting a more efficient operating model with the changing needs of the global energy sector,” Bahl said.<\/p>\n

\n“We look forward to working closely with Neste to ensure a smooth transition and deliver reliable, high-quality services that support their business operational excellence and strategic goals,” he added.<\/p>\n
