The collaboration between Nokia and Google Cloud marks a significant milestone in the evolution of 5G technology. By combining Google Cloud’s cutting-edge AI tools, such as Vertex AI and Gemini 1.5 Pro, with Nokia’s Network as Code platform, the partnership aims to accelerate the creation of 5G applications. This synergy will provide developers with a suite of resources, including software development kits (SDKs), extensive network API documentation, a testing sandbox, and practical code snippets. The objective is to streamline the development process and empower developers to build more robust and innovative 5G applications. This initiative follows a revenue-sharing model that involves not only developers but also network operators and Nokia, ensuring that all stakeholders benefit from the advancements.The first phase of this ambitious project will focus on the healthcare sector, where 5G can significantly enhance telehealth services. By leveraging the speed and low latency of 5G networks, healthcare providers can offer safer and more efficient customer experiences. Remote consultations, real-time patient monitoring, and even remote surgeries could become more feasible, helping to fill critical gaps in healthcare delivery. As the partnership matures, the focus will expand to other industries, tapping into the versatile applications of 5G. Ankur Jain, Vice President of Google Distributed Cloud and Global Telco Industry at Google Cloud, emphasized the transformative potential of 5G networks, not just for telecom companies but for global developers looking to innovate.
