Smarter networks for smarter missions

AI-optimized leaf-spine and super-spine switching

Nokia’s data center switching fabric enables ultra-low latency, lossless performance and high throughput required for AI model training and real-time inference. Our modular and fixed platforms are designed for seamless integration with high-density GPU infrastructure.

Open, automated, and programmable at every layer

Built on Nokia SR Linux, our network operating system delivers advanced programmability, native telemetry, and support for open standards including SONiC. Combined with our Event-Driven Automation (EDA) framework, agencies can dramatically reduce manual tasks and human error.

Scalable switching for high-capacity workloads

With platforms delivering up to 102.4 Tb/s and 1.6 Tbps interfaces, our portfolio scales to support the densest AI workloads across multi-site data center environments with power efficiency and fu-ture-ready capacity.

Built for sovereign, mission-critical environments

Our switching solutions are engineered for compliance, supply chain assurance, and operational resilience. Deployed by cleared personnel through Nokia Federal, these solutions ensure control and trust in every deployment.
