AI-RAN architecture will help open RANs optimize network performance, automate operations, and enable real-time capacity prediction, effectively supporting augmented reality, gaming, video, and social media applications on mobile and fixed wireless devices.

To achieve this goal, the consortium uses “billions of data points to create algorithms that help determine network optimization,” thereby enhancing mobile infrastructure, allowing third-party AI workloads to run concurrently at the network edge.

“AI-RAN has the potential to radically change the future of mobile networks, but it can be difficult to get right. That’s why T-Mobile is joining forces with our partners. Together, we will define what lies ahead for mobile networks in the advanced 5G era and drive real progress,” said Mike Sievert, CEO of T-Mobile.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said, “AI will reinvent wireless communications networks and the entire telecommunications industry, moving beyond voice, data and video to support new applications like generative AI and robotics.”

The AI-RAN cloud-based multi-tenant network has the potential to support not only traditional telecommunications workloads (core network and RAN radio access network), but also AI workloads as internal or third-party services, without the need for dedicated infrastructure.
