AI-powered receiver technology using machine learning can greatly enhance future 6G coverage, creating cost savings and accelerating time to market. The AI technology identifies and compensates for distortion in wireless signals, leading to substantial improvements in 6G uplink coverage. Nokia and Rohde & Schwarz will demonstrate the technology at the Brooklyn 6G Summit from November 5-7. 3 November 2025: Espoo, Finland – Nokia and the test and measurement company Rohde & Schwarz have created and successfully tested a 6G radio receiver that uses AI technologies to overcome one of the biggest anticipated challenges of 6G network rollouts, coverage limitations inherent in 6G’s higher-frequency spectrum. The machine learning capabilities in the receiver greatly boost uplink distance, enhancing coverage for future 6G networks. This will help operators roll out 6G over their existing 5G footprints, reducing deployment costs and accelerating time to market. Nokia Bell Labs developed the receiver and validated it using 6G test equipment and methodologies from Rohde & Schwarz. The two companies will unveil a proof-of-concept receiver at the Brooklyn 6G Summit on November 6, 2025. “One of the key issues facing future 6G deployments is the coverage limitations inherent in 6G’s higher-frequency spectrum.

Nokia’s secure mission-critical private networks combined with OneLayer’s OT asset visibility and protection help utilities modernize grids with secure 5G/LTE. 3 November 2025: Espoo, Finland – Nokia and OneLayer are combining Nokia’s secure mission-critical private networks with OneLayer’s OT asset management to help utilities modernize grids with secure 5G/LTE, enabling deeper device visibility, improved operational efficiency, and stronger security across private cellular networks in the growing 5G/LTE market. The increase in private network-connected devices, especially under one roof, provides the possibility of seamless interaction between disparate parts of the network. However, it also opens the network up to emerging security vulnerabilities. Most cyberattacks are correlated with insufficient security that fails to detect or manage outside threats, with 81 percent of cyber claims in the last four years resulting from external manipulation of systems. NetGuard Endpoint Detection and Response delivers telco-grade, real-time threat detection for the private wireless core elements, while the broader NetGuard portfolio adds security orchestration, privileged access control, and certificate management. OneLayer Bridge™ – Private 5G/LTE Security and Asset Management complements this by extending protection to utility endpoints and field assets. Nokia’s Core Enterprise Solutions leverage Nokia’s security expertise by combining the NetGuard security suite for network and digital identity protection with OneLayer’s strength in OT edge asset management. The joint offering delivers a zero-trust approach with advanced capabilities such as asset discovery, micro-segmentation, geofencing, anomaly detection, and orchestrated mitigation, reducing attack surfaces and accelerating incident response for private cellular networks. “This partnership marks a significant milestone in the close relationship we have developed with Nokia over the past years. We are …
