AI and future telecoms are now inseparably linked.
We cannot design next-generation telecoms systems without harnessing AI — for system optimisation, unlocking data from networks, and enabling new APIs and applications on top of connectivity.
Equally significant, however, is the role telecoms will play in powering AI itself: interconnecting and enabling the data centres and supercomputer facilities that global leaders such as Nvidia, OpenAI, Microsoft and Nscale have recently committed to building here in the UK.
Telecoms systems will underpin these developments — and the rise of AI represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity for the sector.
Today, JOINER is the only place offering the scale and openness required to drive innovation in AI-native networks and to demonstrate, for the first time, the benefits of interconnecting AI infrastructure for real applications.
This pioneering work is embodied in our new AI Acceleration Facility — a resource and service suite offered as part of the JOINER platform.
How the AI Acceleration Facility Enables Real-World Deployment
The AI Acceleration Facility ensures that AI deployment is frictionless, elastic, and interoperable within telecom environments. At its core is our foundational capability: Hypervisor-as-a-Service (HaaS).
HaaS allows telecom and AI workloads to be deployed dynamically across diverse and distributed compute environments and multiple administrative domains.
Instead of relying on bespoke infrastructure or static deployments, AI becomes programmable infrastructure — moving seamlessly to where it is needed, when it is needed. The result: higher efficiency, faster experimentation, lower barriers to adoption, and accelerated time-to-value for real-world telco-specific AI use cases.
Through JOINER, we can support high-performance AI applications such as:
- Predictive analytics for network health and usage trends
- Anomaly detection and fault prediction
- Zero-touch automation and real-time orchestration
All of this can be tested and validated within realistic, multi-site telecom environments — something only JOINER can deliver at the necessary scale, complexity, and openness.
Shaping the Future of AI-Native Networks
With the AI Acceleration Facility, JOINER is laying the foundations and support pilots for networks that are distributed, intelligent, and self-optimising.
By removing traditional barriers to AI adoption in telecoms, we are driving a fundamental shift in how telecoms and advanced technologies converge.
This Facility represents the essence of JOINER’s mission: experimentation, collaboration, and innovation — all geared toward accelerating real-world impact in timeframes never before possible.
