Australia’s ResetData Taps Nokia for 800G Backbone

ResetData has selected Nokia to provide the networking backbone for its new line of sovereign, liquid immersion-cooled AI data centers across Australia. The rollout begins in Melbourne and will extend nationally through commercial sites backed by Centuria Capital Group. Nokia’s IP networking solution, anchored by the FP5-based 7750 Service Router, will support ResetData’s push to deliver low-latency, high-bandwidth cloud infrastructure optimized for AI, machine learning, and large language model workloads.

The Nokia 7750 SR-1x router will function as a gateway for ResetData’s GPU clusters, enabling high-speed interconnects between facilities and to the Internet, with support for up to 800Gbps. The FP5 silicon at the core of the platform offers a 75% reduction in energy use over previous generations—critical to ResetData’s sustainability goals. The company claims its liquid immersion-cooled “AI Factory” data centers are up to 10 times as efficient as traditional builds, while reducing emissions by 45% and cloud costs by 40%.

The deployment comes amid a surge in demand for AI and sovereign cloud services in Australia. The domestic cloud services market grew 19% year-over-year in 2024, driven by interest in onshore data sovereignty, energy-efficient infrastructure, and AI readiness. Nokia’s local support, energy efficiency, and routing scalability helped it win the deal under tight timelines and high-performance requirements.

“We are moving quickly because sovereign AI is critical to Australia’s international competitiveness… Nokia has been a core partner at every step,” said Karl Kloppenborg, CTO at ResetData.
