Access Network( RAN) software stacks, we are starting to see the momentum of AI-RAN.”
NVIDIA has been at the forefront of deploying AI-enabled Radio Access Networks – part of the cellular network that connects user devices like smartphones to the core network – for several years, collaborating with telcos and research leaders to develop an AI-native wireless network stack based on its AI Aerial platform.
The next generation of wireless network hardware, software and architecture to support 6G will need to be fundamentally integrated with AI in order to seamlessly connect the hundreds of billions of phones, sensors, cameras, robots and autonomous vehicles. This can only be delivered by the creation of networks that are software defined, programmable and run on intelligent hardware infrastructure.
AI-RAN brings AI and RAN workloads together on one platform and embeds AI into radio signal processing. To deliver enhanced spectral efficiency and lower operational complexity and costs, AI will be fully embedded into the network stack’ s software and hosted over a unified accelerated infrastructure, capable of running both network and AI workloads.
AI as an enabler of large-scale transformation NVIDIA has had a busy start to 2025, discussing developments in this field at the Mobile World Congress and the company’ s own GTC global AI conference for developers, engineers, researchers, inventors and IT leaders. Specifically at
