Telef\u00f3nica will also continue adopting Nokia\u2019s AI-driven tools to enhance network performance and automation.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the deal, Nokia will deliver its energy-efficient, AI-ready AirScale RAN portfolio, including Habrok <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nokia.com\/mobile-networks\/ran\/macro\/massive-mimo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Massive MIMO radios<\/a> for the n78 band, Pandion multi-band remote radio heads and AirScale small cells. These systems are designed to improve capacity, in-building coverage and energy efficiency. The Nordic vendor will also provide updated baseband technology to further strengthen 5G performance and reliability.<\/p>\n<p>The deployment includes Nokia\u2019s IPAA+ (Interleaved Passive Active Antenna), which helps streamline site configurations and accelerate rollout. The agreement also encompasses maintenance and optimization services.<\/p>\n<p>Telef\u00f3nica will continue relying on Nokia\u2019s MantaRay NM platform for network management across physical and virtualized RAN, core and transport domains. The pair sees this as the foundation for advancing the German carrier\u2019s network toward automation level 4 through AI-enabled orchestration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis contract extension reflects our shared commitment to advancing 5G technology and creating a more connected and sustainable Germany,\u201d said Matthias Sauder, director of networks at O2 Telef\u00f3nica.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith Nokia\u2019s anyRAN software, AirScale baseband, and autonomous network platforms, Telef\u00f3nica is also positioned for long-term competitiveness as the AI supercycle takes hold,\u201d said Justin Hotard, President and CEO, Nokia.<\/p>\n<p>In October 2023, Telefonica Germany <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rcrwireless.com\/20231003\/featured\/02-telefonica-activate-5g-sa-network-germany\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">announced the launch of its 5G Standalone (SA) network<\/a> in the country under the 5G Plus brand.
