Nokia and NVIDIA unveil AI platform to double network capacity
Nokia and NVIDIA announced a new AI-powered tech that aims to double how much data telecom networks can handle by 2028.
The platform, set to roll out in 2027, mixes hardware and software for radio access networks (RAN), making it easier for mobile carriers to keep up with our growing data needs.
Platform promises 50% spectrum efficiency gains
This tech promises a 50% boost in spectrum efficiency by 2027, helping Europe catch up on its slow 5G rollout.
Carriers can upgrade their systems through software instead of expensive hardware swaps, and the platform works with both 4G and 5G (plus it's ready for 6G when it arrives).
Nokia's CEO says software subscriptions will be a big revenue driver, while NVIDIA's CEO calls this launch a "generational shift for operators."
Meanwhile, Ericsson is also working on AI solutions but is sticking mostly to network gear.
