Nvidia announces partnerships for R&D related to AI-native 6G networks

At GTC, Nvidia (NVDA) unveiled partnerships with T-Mobile (TMUS), MITRE, Cisco (CSCO), ODC, a portfolio company of Cerberus Capital Management, and Booz Allen Hamilton (BAH) on the research and development of AI-native wireless network hardware, software and architecture for 6G. “Next-generation wireless networks must be fundamentally integrated with AI to seamlessly connect hundreds of billions of phones, sensors, cameras, robots and autonomous vehicles. AI-native wireless networks will provide enhanced services for billions of users and set new standards in spectral efficiency – the rate at which data can be transmitted over a given bandwidth. They will also offer groundbreaking performance and resource utilization while creating new revenue streams for telecommunications companies,” Nvidia stated. “Next-generation wireless networks will be revolutionary, and we have an unprecedented opportunity to ensure AI is woven in from the start. Working with leaders in the field, we’re building an AI-enhanced 6G network that achieves extreme spectral efficiency,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of Nvidia.
