Nokia is expanding beyond its traditional telecom business to capture growing opportunities in artificial intelligence (AI)-driven data centres and cloud infrastructure, betting that surging demand for high-capacity, secure and energy-efficient connectivity will fuel its next phase of growth.
Vito Di Maria, vice-president of optical networks for Nokia Asia-Pacific, said the data centre opportunity is a natural extension of Nokia's core expertise in connectivity rather than a shift away from its telecom business.
As AI, cloud services, and data-intensive applications continue to scale, they are driving unprecedented demand for high-performance, secure, and energy-efficient connectivity both within and between data centres, Mr Di Maria said.
This opportunity significantly expands Nokia's presence in the rapidly growing data centre market.
"From data centre interconnectivity and subsea connectivity to next-generation optical networking innovations, Nokia is helping customers build the networks needed to unlock the full potential of the AI era, while supporting Thailand and the region's broader digital transformation ambitions," he said.
