Nokia’s Network as Code platform with developer
portalNokia’s platform brings together telco networks,
systems integrators, and software developers from around the world
into a unified ecosystem to accelerate the development of software
applications that can harness 5G and 4G network capabilities.
It provides developers with software development kits (SDKs);
network API documentation, a “sandbox” to create software code for
use case simulation and testing; and code “snippets” that can be
included in building new applications. The platform is based on a
revenue share model between developers, operators, and Nokia.
Since its launch in September 2023, Nokia has signed
collaboration agreements with 13 network operators and ecosystem
partners in Europe, North America, and South America.
Ankur Jain, Vice President, Google Distributed Cloud and
Global Telco Industry at Google Cloud, said: “Through this
important collaboration with Nokia, we are enabling our global
developer community to tap into the greenfield opportunity that 5G
networks provide. Our developer community is a strong innovation
driver globally, and we believe the telecom space offers
significant value creation opportunities through new
applications.”
Raghav Sahgal, President of Cloud and Network Services
at Nokia, said: “We are excited to expand our
collaboration with Google Cloud, enabling thousands of Google Cloud
developers to tap into our network capabilities so that they can
create value for their customers faster.”
