Google Cloud and Nokia have teamed up to embed Google’s Gemini AI models directly into Nokia’s Assurance Center and broader Network as Code (NaC) platform. The partnership, announced at MWC Barcelona on March 3, 2026, is designed to let AI agents interact with telecom network APIs without anyone needing to write a single line of code.
In English: instead of telecom engineers manually configuring network settings and monitoring devices through complex dashboards, AI agents will handle tasks like device management, fleet connectivity, and security monitoring autonomously.
What the deal actually involves
The integration leverages Google’s Agent Developer Kit (ADK) alongside two protocols: Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Agent-to-Agent (A2A). These protocols allow AI agents to communicate with network APIs and with each other, creating what Nokia and Google are calling “intent-based, zero-code workflows.”
Nokia’s NaC platform now connects over 70 partners and supports more than 20 APIs. Major telecom operators including Deutsche Telekom, Globe, and Vodafone are part of that ecosystem.
