One New Zealand expands Nokia partnership to accelerate its autonomous networks transformation * Agreement advances AI-native operations and network autonomy through trusted data, assurance and lifecycle automation. One New Zealand has selected Nokia’s autonomous networks solutions to accelerate its journey toward higher levels of network autonomy and AI-native operations. The deployment will establish a unified, trusted foundation that helps the operator anticipate network conditions, make faster decisions and act before issues affect customers. It will also support One New Zealand’s progress toward TM Forum Level 3 and Level 4 autonomous network capabilities.
Under the agreement, One New Zealand will deploy Nokia Assurance Center and Autonomous Networks Data Suite, while Nokia will supply R&D co-creation and consulting services. The agreement represents the next step in One New Zealand’s strategic partnership with Nokia, building on the Unified Inventory and Nokia Orchestration Center investments made in 2025. The addition of these capabilities extends that foundation, bringing together different toolsets into an increasingly integrated framework and maintaining momentum toward higher levels of network autonomy.
