- Nokia wins UK appeal to block Acer, Asus video streaming patent lawsuits
May 12, 2026
LONDON, May 12 (Reuters) - Nokia won an appeal to block London lawsuits by Taiwanese tech companies Acer and Asus on Tuesday in a case which is part of a global dispute over video coding technology.
Acer and Asus had previously obtained a High Court declaration that a willing licensor in Nokia's position would agree to an interim licence until the court decided the "reasonable and non-discriminatory" terms of a patent licence.
But Nokia challenged that ruling and the Court of Appeal on Tuesday permanently "stayed" the cases, effectively ending the lawsuits brought against the Finnish technology company.
A Nokia spokesperson said the ruling meant that a trial due to take place in June and July will not now proceed. Acer and Asus did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The Court of Appeal said that Nokia had offered a licence to Acer and Asus to use its patents on reasonable and non-discriminatory terms to be determined at arbitration, meaning their London lawsuits should not continue.
China-based Hisense had also sued Nokia, but settled its case before the appeal was heard.
Disputes over the fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory (FRAND) terms of a patent licence have frequently led to global legal battles in the telecoms industry.
English courts can set global FRAND terms, following a landmark 2020 UK Supreme Court ruling, as can courts in China.
Before Acer and Asus sued Nokia in London in June 2025, Nokia had filed its own lawsuits in the United States, as well as Brazil, Germany and India.

Nokia launches agentic AI for home and broadband networks
Nokia agentic AI boosts end-user experience, increases operational efficiency and accelerates deployment for home and broadband networks. AI you can trust, built on insights and experience from 600+ million broadband lines deployed. Open and secure AI agent approach gives telecom providers full strategic control to integrate their own AI tools and data sources.
12 May 2026
Espoo, Finland – Nokia today announces new agentic AI capabilities for its fixed network product lines to help drive productivity and operational intelligence across home and broadband networks. Drawing on the expertise from 600+ million broadband lines deployed, Nokia’s agentic AI capabilities help telecom providers tackle fiber and Wi-Fi challenges, from design and planning to rollout and operations. Designed for the cognitive broadband era, Nokia’s AI-enabled fixed networks portfolio boosts end-user experience, increases operational efficiency and accelerates fiber rollout.
The telecom industry is set to invest $6.2 billion in agentic AI by 2030. Agentic AI systems capable of autonomous reasoning and decision-making will be a key driver of the cognitive broadband era, enabling networks to move beyond basic connectivity toward self-optimizing, AI-driven infrastructures.
Nokia embeds AI agents and natural language interaction across its Altiplano, Corteca, and Broadband Easy platforms, enabling telecom providers to modernize operations and reduce costs. Operators can resolve problems proactively, scale operations without adding headcount, and diagnose network issues using automated root cause analysis. The AI agents will make an immediate and tangible difference for operators, including lifting first-contact helpdesk resolution rates above 50%, network incident qualification within 5 minutes, and a 50% reduction in return visits to construction sites and connected homes.
Underpinning this is an open and secure approach that integrates AI agents, live data, and external services while ensuring compliance, data sovereignty, and vendor independence. Operators retain full control and can work with an LLM that best fits the specific use case, use their own interfaces, or connect data sources as they scale AI across their business.
Nokia's new AI capabilities span the full broadband network lifecycle. They increase productivity across customer care, network engineering & operations and field force teams, while boosting end-user experience:
An AI assistant with a conversational interface gives technicians and support teams instant access to product knowledge, accelerating training and day-to-day problem solving. AI-powered text, voice, and image guidance assists field technicians during surveys and installations, and computer vision technology helps validate the quality of work done and build a live digital twin of the FTTH network. Automated diagnostics detect degradations and prevent outages; giving frontline support teams more operational precision and analytical depth. A troubleshooting agent improves root cause analysis and speeds up remediation across home and access networks, and uses advanced reasoning to pinpoint faults faster, reduce ticket volume, and increase first-call resolution rates.
Story Continues
“AI makes your end-users less likely to churn, your engineering and helpdesk teams more productive, and your field teams connect more homes more quickly. Nokia’s Agentic AI puts 600+ million lines worth of broadband experience at the fingertips of every field technician, helpdesk agent, and network engineer - and solves problems before the customer is even aware. We’re fundamentally changing how home and broadband networks are deployed and run,” said Sandy Motley, President Fixed Networks, Nokia.
“AI only works with quality data, and when data is AI-ready. Our recent market outlook on AI in network automation underscored that the industry is rapidly moving to build infrastructure capable of enabling powerful, successful, AI. Vendors like Nokia that combine deep domain expertise with real-world scale are best positioned to deliver reliable outcomes. Nokia’s approach reflects many of the right architectural principles, including autonomous control loops, structured data models, and open APIs, which are critical to making automation easy and AI responses accurate,” said Grant Lenahan, Partner and Principal Analyst, Appledore Research.

New program establishes a certified ecosystem of integrations with technology partners delivering joint solutions for private LTE and 5G deployments.
BOSTON, May 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- OneLayer, the leader in private LTE/5G asset management and Zero Trust security, today announced the launch of its Technology Alliance Program (TAP), a certified ecosystem of technology partners delivering validated, integrated solutions for enterprises deploying private cellular networks. Integrations in our TAP program include Check Point, Claroty, Digi International, Druid Software, Ericsson, Fortinet, Kigen, Nokia, Semtech, and Teltonika, spanning network infrastructure, security, IT/OT operations, device management, and SIM technology.OneLayer Logo
Joined by its TAP partners, OneLayer formalizes its role as the connective device security and orchestration layer between private cellular infrastructure and the enterprise network, security, and IT stack. Together, OneLayer and its certified integration partners enable customers to deploy private cellular with the same confidence, visibility, and control they apply to every other part of their environment.
"Customers are asking for end-to-end value and ecosystem collaboration to maximize the private 5G value and usability. Our product foundation relies on technical partnerships and not a standalone product," said Dave Mor, CEO of OneLayer. "The certification program, enables us to enhance the alignment between the product team, accelerate joint feature releases and solve more customer gaps."
"Private cellular introduces new devices, new protocols, and new operational contexts that most enterprise security and IT teams have never had to manage before," said Tamar Tsuk-Perez, VP Product at OneLayer. "The TAP ensures that the integrations our customers depend on are built, tested, and maintained to the same standard as the rest of their enterprise stack."
Putting Customers at the Center of the Program
Every integration in the TAP is built around a specific joint outcome. Certified solutions deliver capabilities no standalone product can match:
Full-stack visibility, no blind spots. OneLayer's device visibility and fingerprinting integrates with leading cellular cores, cellular routers, CMDBs, and ITSM platforms to give teams a unified view of every device on the private cellular network alongside the rest of the enterprise environment. Zero Trust enforcement that reaches cellular assets. Integrations with next-generation firewalls and network access control platforms extend Zero Trust policy enforcement to private LTE and 5G devices with granular device context. Visibility behind the cellular router. Integrations with cellular routers and management platforms surface non-cellular devices connected behind routers and extend policy enforcement and segmentation to those devices. Automated device onboarding at scale. Integrations with private cellular cores, SIM providers, and device management platforms automate discovery, authentication, and onboarding, eliminating the operational overhead that has historically made private cellular difficult to manage. OT security coverage without replacing existing tools. Integrations with OT visibility and industrial security platforms bring cellular network context into existing OT security workflows, enabling anomaly detection, Purdue model segmentation enforcement, and incident response without building new processes from scratch.
