Bell and Cisco Collaborate on Sovereign AI Infrastructure for Canadian Customers

Bell Canada and Cisco have announced a partnership to develop sovereign AI infrastructure for Canadian customers. The collaboration will utilize Cisco's AI, networking, security, and infrastructure technologies.

The companies aim to help Canadian organizations deploy, secure, and manage AI infrastructure in Canada, giving customers more flexibility in accessing and scaling sovereign AI capacity.

This partnership is part of Bell's growing focus on AI and tech offerings. In June, the company partnered with Cohere for its large language models to operate through Bell AI Fabric, supported by two other companies.
