Transforming Telcos Into Sovereign AI Factories

Protecting data sovereignty with secure AI infrastructure for governments, enterprises, and startups.

    Build, Develop, and Deploy Sovereign AI on Trusted Telecoms Infrastructure

    Telecom operators are perfectly positioned to expand their data centers with accelerated computing infrastructure to support sovereign AI models and manufacture intelligence. This new class of data centers, known as AI factories, enhances AI capabilities for local governments, enterprises, and startups. And it allows nations to utilize telecom operators to host their sovereign AI infrastructure for enhanced security, performance, and fine-tuning with local language and cultural standards. NVIDIA is accelerating the development and deployment of AI factories around the world, including France, India, Italy, Japan, Singapore, and Switzerland.  

    How Telcos Are Enabling National AI Infrastructure and Platforms

    Leading telecom companies Indosat, Singtel, and Telconet are working with NVIDIA to become sovereign "AI factories" for governments, enterprises, and startups—enabling them to build and deploy generative AI applications on high-performance, secure infrastructure.

    Sovereign AI Factories for Generative AI

    Provide secure infrastructure for regional AI model development and deployment.

    Telecom operators can use their distributed regional data centers (RDCs) as accelerated computing infrastructure to build, fine-tune, and deploy sovereign AI models. Doing so allows AI models to be aligned with national security interests. Additionally, this reduces inference costs by deploying AI applications to in-region users and improves energy efficiency of generative AI by using existing compute infrastructure.

    NVIDIA and Reliance Industries announced a collaboration to develop India’s own foundation large language model trained on the nation’s diverse languages and tailored for generative AI applications to serve the world’s most populous nation.

    Read Press Release
    If telcos start converting network exchanges into compute locations—colocating GPUs and compute at the exchanges—that becomes a goldmine for telcos to enable latency-sensitive AI use cases, such as large language models… Telcos, with their ownership of server networks and fixed networks, can ensure secure transit of data from one source to the other destination. This plays a critical role in governments adopting AI applications at country scale.

    — Manoj Prasanna Kumar, Head – Enterprise Platforms, Singapore Telecommunications Limited (Singtel)

    Everyone talks about generative AI, but the gap between expectations and reality is tremendous. A customer must be sure what happens with its data, where it happens, and how it happens. Switzerland, with its many multinational organizations, needs trusted and unique sovereign building blocks for AI. That’s where we step in. We’re developing it together in a reliable and secure manner, with a distinct Swiss flavor, hand in hand with our collaborator partner, NVIDIA.

    — Christoph Aeschlimann, CEO, Swisscom

    At Jio, we’re committed to fueling India’s technology renaissance by democratizing access to cutting-edge technologies, and our collaboration with NVIDIA is a significant step in this direction. Together, we will develop a state-of-the-art AI cloud infrastructure that’s secure, sustainable, and deeply relevant across India, accelerating the nation’s journey
    toward becoming an AI powerhouse.

    — Mukesh Ambani, Chairman and Managing Director, Reliance Industries

    Our collaboration with NVIDIA will help our infrastructure achieve a significantly higher performance with the utilization of AI, including optimization of the RAN. We expect it can also help us reduce energy consumption and create a network of interconnected data centers that can be used to share resources and host a range of generative AI applications.
