- T-Mobile, Nokia and NVIDIA completed an AI-RAN call over a commercial network in Bellevue on October 21, 2026.
- Further trials will examine additional spectrum bands and AI workloads alongside radio access functions.
- The milestone moves the technology beyond laboratory testing, but deployment scale and financial returns remain to be established.
T-Mobile, Nokia and NVIDIA completed the world's first AI-RAN call on a commercial live network on October 21, 2026, at a T-Mobile site in Bellevue, Washington. The milestone was described by Nokia as a move from controlled laboratory work into a live operator network.
T-Mobile US stock traded at 156.46 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 14:00 CET on Thursday, November 12, 2026, 2.99 percent above the Xetra close of Wednesday, November 11, 2026, at 151.92 euros. The quote was higher during the Berlin trading session, but the technology announcement itself does not establish a causal link to the share movement.
From laboratory test to field trials
The call used Nokia Massive MIMO radio, Nokia 5G anyRAN software and server infrastructure built on NVIDIA's Aerial RAN Computer platform. The site connected to T-Mobile's commercial 5G core and commercial user equipment, giving the companies a live-network setting for validating the architecture.
According to Nokia, the next phase will test additional spectrum bands, new AI-for-RAN algorithms and AI inference workloads running alongside radio access network functions on shared accelerated computing infrastructure. The stated objective is to examine whether connectivity and AI computing can coexist efficiently at network sites.
For T-Mobile, the project extends work that began with an AI-RAN Innovation Center in Bellevue announced in September 2024. Nokia and NVIDIA formed their broader partnership in 2025, while T-Mobile has been working with both companies on AI-RAN technology as part of its 6G development process.
What investors should watch next
The live call is a technology milestone rather than proof of a broad commercial rollout. Nokia says the longer-term opportunity includes improved radio performance, more efficient use of network resources and distributed AI applications, while the next trials should provide more evidence on capacity, reliability and operating economics.
