Nokia sees AI driving 4x surge in global network traffic, deepens AI-RAN partnerships in Taiwan

As generative AI gives way to agentic and physical AI applications, global network traffic is set to nearly quadruple by 2035, intensifying demand for greater uplink capacity, lower latency, and distributed computing. Nokia expects AI to account for 44% of monthly global network traffic by then, while Taiwan is emerging as an active participant in the industry's transition toward AI-native networks, said Magic Hsu, managing director of Nokia Taiwan.
