OCP Global Summit 2026

San Jose McEnery Convention Center - San Jose, CA, United States

Join us at Open Compute Project (OCP) Global Summit 2026 as we showcase how open networking and integrated IP and optical technologies are enabling the next generation of distributed AI infrastructure. As AI workloads become increasingly distributed, networking plays a critical role in connecting compute resources efficiently within and across data centers. Nokia’s presence will highlight our commitment to openness, interoperability, and industry collaboration.

Visitors to the Nokia booth can explore open networking standards and innovations designed to support scalable, resilient AI data center fabrics, including:

• Open networking standards, including Multipath Reliable Connection (MRC), and their role in building scalable, resilient AI data centre fabrics.
• Integrated IP and optical technologies, helping connect distributed compute resources efficiently within and across data centres.
• Immersive VR experience, showcasing Nokia’s optical networking innovations and the role of high-performance photonics in connecting distributed AI infrastructure.
• Multi-dimensional scaling for AI networks, supporting scale up, scale out, scale across, and scale beyond to connect distributed compute locations.
• SONiC workshop, demonstrating Nokia’s commitment to open network operating systems and ecosystem collaboration across the data centre industry.
