Blaize Holdings，a global artificial intelligence (AI) computing firm, has announced a three-way strategic collaboration with Nokia and PT Datacomm Diangraha to accelerate the deployment of hybrid AI inference infrastructure across Indonesia and the wider Asia-Pacific (APAC) region.
Building on Nokia’s and Blaize’s strategic partnership announced in January 2026, and the memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed between Blaize and Datacomm at GITEX AI Asia 2026, the collaboration aligns each partner’s distinct strengths into a single, pre-validated technology and go-to-market stack — making enterprise and public-sector AI deployment faster, more cost-effective, and operationally reliable, the trio said in a statement on Tuesday.
A central principle of the Nokia-Blaize-Datacomm collaboration is that no single compute approach can address all AI workloads, with the most effective enterprise AI deployments instead relying on hybrid architectures.
Nokia brings the infrastructure backbone for GPU-intensive Telco RAN workloads: training, AI-RAN acceleration, and large-scale cloud inference where GPU economics are justified.
Blaize fills a distinct and equally important role — purpose-built for enterprise edge AI, where power budgets are constrained, deployments are geographically distributed, and the economics of GPU infrastructure are prohibitive.
“The combination of Nokia’s validated networking infrastructure and Blaize’s energy-efficient inference compute is uniquely positioned for the enterprise edge. GPU economics simply do not scale to thousands of distributed sites — but Blaize does,
“This is not about replacing GPUs; it is about deploying the right compute where it delivers the most value,” said Dinakar Munagala, Chief Executive Officer, Blaize.
According to the statement, Nokia brings end-to-end networking capability — from optical data center interconnect to last-mile edge connectivity — combined with security, lifecycle automation, and systems integration expertise.
The Nokia Innovation Lab in Singapore serves as the neutral proving ground where joint solutions with Blaize are developed, tested, and validated before deployment.
“This three-way collaboration represents exactly the kind of outcome-driven partnership the market needs right now. As the trusted global provider of advanced connectivity, Nokia’s role is to make hybrid AI deployable at scale — connecting the cloud to the far edge with a level of reliability, security, and automation that enterprise customers can build real businesses on,
“With Blaize on compute and Datacomm on the ground in Indonesia, we have the complete picture,” said Dion Leung, Head of AI and Cloud, Asia Pacific, Nokia.
Blaize delivers programmable, energy-efficient AI inference platforms designed for edge and hybrid cloud deployment.
Where GPU infrastructure is optimized for telco-scale and cloud-native workloads, the firm’s architecture is purpose-built for the enterprise edge — enabling organizations to deploy AI at distributed scale with a fraction of the power consumption and infrastructure cost.
Its platform supports workloads including video analytics, geospatial processing, logistics optimization, and computer vision across thousands of sites simultaneously.
Meanwhile, Datacomm’s end-to-end IT ecosystem covers cloud services, modern data center solutions, advanced IT security, DevOps, and network infrastructure — providing the deployment capability and customer trust that global technology partners require to operate effectively in the Indonesian market.
“Our partnership with Nokia has been the backbone of our infrastructure capabilities for more than two decades,
“Adding Blaize to that foundation gives us something genuinely new: the ability to take AI inference to our customers at the edge — in the sectors and at the scale that Indonesia’s digital transformation actually requires. This is a strategic move, and the timing is right,” said Tan Wie Tjin, President Director, PT. Datacomm Diangraha.
The three companies said they are committed to moving quickly — converting the MoU framework into deployed, revenue-generating infrastructure across Indonesia’s most strategically important sectors.
