NVIDIA and Nokia Build an AI-RAN Foundation for 5G and 6G Networks

NVIDIA and Nokia outline a joint vision for AI-RAN, a software-defined and programmable wireless network architecture designed for signal processing and AI inference. The presentation explains how Nokia anyRAN software runs on the NVIDIA Accelerated Computing platform to improve spectral efficiency and support edge AI inference. It also describes how operators are collaborating with both companies to bring AI-RAN into 5G networks and prepare for 6G.

- AI-RAN architecture: software-defined, programmable, optimized for signal processing and AI inference
- Platform integration: Nokia anyRAN software on NVIDIA Accelerated Computing
- Network capabilities: dynamic spectral efficiency and AI inference at the edge
- Operator use cases: physical AI at industrial scale, natural conversation for AI assistants, vision AI for safer cities, remote healthcare access, real-time voice AI for emergency services, autonomous robot coordination, and AI agents for reliable and secure network operations
- Roadmap: built for 5G today and ready for 6G tomorrow

Telecom operators, network infrastructure professionals, and AI platform stakeholders can gain a concise view of how AI-RAN is being positioned for current 5G deployments and future 6G networks. Viewers can use the overview to identify collaboration areas and evaluate AI-native network foundations.
