NVIDIA has launched NVIDIA AI Aerial, a suite of accelerated computing software and hardware for designing, simulating, training, and deploying AI radio access network technology (AI-RAN) for wireless networks in the AI era.
NVIDIA AI Aerial enables telecommunications service providers to support teleoperations for manufacturing robots and autonomous vehicles, computer vision in manufacturing and agriculture, logistics, generative AI-driven co-pilots and personal assistants, emerging spatial computing applications, robotic surgery, 3D collaboration, and 5G and 6G advances.
NVIDIA AI Aerial is the world’s first AI-RAN platform capable of hosting generative AI and RAN traffic, as well as integrating AI into network optimization. The platform offers access to a full suite of capabilities, including a high-performance, software-defined RAN along with training, simulation, and inference so that telecom operators can participate at any stage of development to deployment for next-generation wireless networks.
NVIDIA is collaborating with T-Mobile, Ericsson, and Nokia to accelerate the commercialization of AI-RAN with the establishment of the AI-RAN Innovation Center. The center will tap into key capabilities of the NVIDIA AI Aerial platform, focusing on bringing RAN and AI innovation closer together to deliver transformational network experiences for customers through the development of AI-RAN.
Tommi Uitto, President, Mobile Networks, Nokia
AI-RAN is set to revolutionize the telecom industry, and the opening of the AI-RAN Innovation Center will help to take us on this journey by driving industry collaboration. By bringing together leading companies in the telecom and AI industries, we can unlock the full potential of AI in our networks, improving performance, reducing costs and creating new opportunities for our customers. We are confident that AI-RAN will be a key driver of innovation in the future, and we are excited to be part of this revolution together with NVIDIA.
Fredrik Jejdling, EVP and Head, Business Area Networks, Ericsson
Ericsson has invested in our AI-RAN solution, allowing communications service providers to deploy portable RAN software running across multiple platforms. We are now evaluating the performance and cost of NVIDIA accelerated computing in this context.
