Nokia and Rohde & Schwarz announced on November 3, 2025 that they have successfully tested an AI‑powered 6G radio receiver that improves uplink coverage by 10% to 25% over existing receivers, addressing the high‑frequency coverage challenge of 6G.
The proof‑of‑concept receiver will be unveiled at the Brooklyn 6G Summit on November 6, 2025, where the companies will demonstrate increased uplink distance, higher throughput, and improved power efficiency under real‑world conditions.
Nokia Bell Labs supplied the AI and signal‑processing expertise that enabled the receiver, while Rohde & Schwarz provided the test and measurement equipment and validation methodology.
The development aligns with Nokia’s strategic shift toward high‑growth segments such as hyperscale data centers and AI infrastructure, reinforcing its portfolio of advanced 5G and optical networking solutions.
Nokia reported Q3 2025 earnings on October 23, 2025, with revenue rising 11.6% year‑over‑year to $5.61 billion and earnings per share beating estimates. The company’s Network Infrastructure division grew 8% year‑over‑year, while Mobile Networks revenue declined 13% due to prior‑year revenue recognition adjustments.
By extending coverage, the technology could reduce the need for denser cell sites, lowering capital and operating costs for future 6G networks and accelerating deployment timelines for operators.
Nokia’s leadership emphasized the importance of AI‑driven solutions for next‑generation networks and the company’s commitment to investing in 6G research.
