Nokia Launches Doksuri AI-RAN Radios to Power Next-Gen 5G Networks
The radios deliver up to 30% improvement in power efficiency, combining higher output power with lower energy consumption; are up to 25% lighter, reducing site footprint; and feature a unique mounting system that cuts installation time by up to 70%.
Nokia announced a major evolution of its AirScale portfolio with the launch of Doksuri Remote Radio Heads (Radios), engineered to meet the performance, sustainability, and automation demands of the AI era. With advancements in energy efficiency, superior performance, and simplified installation, Doksuri Radios are designed to accelerate the global transition to greener, more powerful 5G networks, pushing the boundaries of advanced connectivity.
The new Doksuri Radios represent a significant leap forward in performance, energy efficiency, and deployment simplicity. Built on a next-generation System-on-Chip (SoC), they bring advanced intelligence directly into the radio, positioning Doksuri as a foundational component in Nokia’s AI-RAN strategy. The radios deliver up to 30% improvement in power efficiency, combining higher output power with lower energy consumption; are up to 25% lighter, reducing site footprint; and feature a unique mounting system that cuts installation time by up to 70%.
“As networks transition toward AI-native architecture, performance, intelligence and efficiency must be built into the foundation. Our next-generation radio portfolio brings advanced processing closer to the edge, enabling operators to meet rising AI-driven traffic demands while reducing energy consumption and total cost of ownership. By embedding AI-ready capabilities directly into the radio layer, we are helping telcos build sustainable, high-performance networks ready for the next wave of 5G and the evolution toward 6G.”
– Pallavi Mahajan, Chief Technology and AI Officer, Nokia
Powered by the latest ReefShark SoC technology, Doksuri Radios unlock advanced capabilities, efficiency, and adaptability, ensuring compatibility with Open RAN front-haul standards and future-proofing telecom networks. Additionally, Nokia plans to demonstrate its comprehensive Radio portfolio at #MWC26, including new Habrok Massive MIMO products for both TDD and FDD spectrum, designed to deliver the performance required for AI-driven connectivity.
“Artificial Intelligence can have a definite and concrete impact when applied to Radio Access Networks, and this kind of radio innovation allows the radio hardware to support future enhancements to capacity and reliability performance in the network.”
– Joe Madden, Founder & Chief Analyst at Mobile Experts, Inc.
Beyond radio hardware, Nokia has launched an rApp Marketplace for its Service Management and Orchestration (SMO) platform, enabling communication service providers and ecosystem partners to build, integrate, and deploy automation applications in an open, multivendor environment. The marketplace allows users to discover, evaluate, and deploy rApps that enhance network automation, performance, and efficiency, reinforcing Nokia’s commitment to AI-driven RAN automation and simplifying how CSPs scale autonomous network capabilities.
Visitors to Nokia’s booth 3B20 in Hall 3 at Mobile World Congress 2026 will experience demonstrations of Nokia’s latest technologies, highlighting cognitive, software-defined radio systems, AI-RAN optimization, improved energy efficiency, and support for AI-driven applications.
