Nvidia has launched AI Aerial, a suite of computing software and hardware tailored to the telecoms market which has a focus on the future.

The offering was announced on Wednesday (Sep.r 18) and aims to help providers with the designing, simulating, training, and deploying of AI radio access network technology (AI-RAN) for wireless networks.

It won’t just be the standard devices that the American company is focusing on. It hopes to serve the demands of new services and the needs of generative AI in robots, autonomous vehicles, and smart factories.

“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,” says the company in the press release.

This is the world’s first AI-RAN platform which can host both generative AI and RAN traffic, as well as allowing for the integration of AI.

While its use cases span emerging technologies, the company says it will be “foundational to the multipurpose networks of tomorrow that rely on AI-powered telecommunications capabilities.”

Nvidia collaborates with T-Mobile, Ericsson and Nokia

Some telecom operators have already signed up to use Nvidia’s new AI aerial, as they’ve announced collaborations with T-Mobile, Ericsson and 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,” said Tommi Uitto, president of Mobile Networks at Nokia.

“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.”

The EVP and head of business area networks at Ericsson, Fredrik Jejdling, said the company has invested in the 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.”
