Telecommunications providers are transforming beyond voice and data services with an AI computing infrastructure to optimize wireless networks and serve the next-generation needs of generative AI on mobile, robots, autonomous vehicles, smart factories, 5G and much more.
NVIDIA AI Aerial is 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.
The platform will become a critical foundation to allow network optimization at scale to serve the demands of a host of new services. This will provide significant savings in total cost of ownership and open telecom operators to new revenue opportunities for enterprise and consumer services.
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.
Driving Networks of the Future With AI-RAN
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.
AI-RAN offers high-performance and energy-efficient software-defined RAN, improved network experience and new revenue opportunities with edge AI applications to host internal and third-party generative AI applications.
AI-RAN is foundational to the multipurpose networks of tomorrow that rely on AI-powered telecommunications capabilities.
Harnessing NVIDIA AI Aerial for Telecom Industry
The NVIDIA AI Aerial 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.
Some capabilities in the NVIDIA AI Aerial platform include:
- NVIDIA Aerial CUDA-Accelerated RAN includes software libraries to enable partners to develop and deploy high-performance virtualized RAN workloads on NVIDIA-accelerated compute platforms.
- NVIDIA Aerial AI Radio Frameworks include PyTorch- and TensorFlow-based software libraries to develop and train models for improving spectral efficiency and adding new capabilities to 5G and 6G radio signal processing. This also includes NVIDIA Sionna, a link-level simulator that provides development and training of neural network-based 5G and 6G radio algorithms.
- NVIDIA Aerial Omniverse Digital Twin (AODT) is a system-level network digital twin development platform. AODT enables physically accurate simulations of wireless systems — from a single base station to a comprehensive network with a large number of base stations covering an entire city. It incorporates software-defined RAN (Aerial-CUDA Accelerated RAN) and user-equipment simulators, along with realistic terrain and object properties of the physical world.
NVIDIA AI Aerial and AI RAN Innovation Center
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. The collaboration is focused on bringing RAN and AI innovation closer together to deliver transformational network experiences for customers through the development of AI-RAN.
