Meanwhile, AT&T will also leverage Nokia’s voice core applications through the Nokia Cloud Platform (NCP), in a bid to streamline network operations and enhance automation.
Additionally, the telecoms giant will implement Nokia’s Digital Operations software solutions, designed for multi-vendor networks, to automate the design, delivery and assurance of customer services at scale.
