NVIDIA Introduces A Cloud-Based Research Platform For Testing And Study On 6G

On Monday, Nvidia presented a software platform driven by AI that enables the simulation of cloud-based communications settings, hence facilitating research into 6G technologies.

It is anticipated that 6G, the next generation of communications technology that will replace 5G, will go on sale around 2030.

Radio access network (RAN) hardware, including as base stations and antennas, is one area where software and artificial intelligence (AI) are being used more and more in the telecom industry. An app that replicates settings like a single cell tower or a whole city will be available on Nvidia’s platform, enabling organizations and academics to test 6G networks in real time.

Ansys, Nokia, Samsung, SoftBank Corp., and Northeastern University in Boston are a few of the early users of the platform, according to Nvidia.

According to a statement by Nvidia’s senior vice president of telecom Ronnie Vasishta, “the massive increase in connected devices and host of new applications in 6G will require a vast leap in wireless spectral efficiency in radio communications.”

As investors prepared for Nvidia’s worldwide conference on artificial intelligence for developers in San Jose, California, technology shares increased on Monday.

However, a decline in the telecom industry caused European equities to slightly decline. The maker of gear, Ericsson, shut down 5.4%, while rival Nokia dropped 4%.

According to an expert, telecom equipment suppliers need to collaborate with chip manufacturers and cloud providers in order to remain competitive in the mobile infrastructure industry.
