Bell Teams Up with Cisco on Sovereign AI Infrastructure

Bell Canada has signed an agreement with Cisco to collaborate on providing sovereign AI infrastructure for Canadian customers. This collaboration will enable companies in Canada to deploy, secure, and manage AI infrastructure within their own country.

The partnership between Bell and Cisco will utilize Cisco's AI, networking, security, and infrastructure technologies. This will give Canadian organizations more flexibility in accessing and scaling sovereign AI capacity.

This is the latest development in Bell's growing AI and tech offerings. In June, Bell signed a deal with Cohere for its large language models to operate through Bell AI Fabric, supported by two other companies.
