Nvidia, Nokia Partner on New AI Telecom Networks
By Dominic Chopping
Nvidia and Nokia are partnering to integrate artificial intelligence into telecom networks, a move aimed at boosting performance and efficiency amid surging workloads.
The news comes after the two companies earlier Tuesday said Nvidia will invest $1 billion in Nokia, taking a 2.9% stake in the Finnish telecom equipment maker through the acquisition of newly-issued shares.
The companies said they would combine Nvidia's AI-RAN technology with Nokia's traditional telecom networks. Alongside performance and efficiency improvements, they said these new networks would allow communication service providers to launch new products and support next-generation 6G upgrades.
As part of the collaboration, T-Mobile U.S. will work with Nokia and Nvidia to test AI network technologies. Trials are expected to begin next year and will focus on confirming performance and efficiency gains, the companies said.
"AI-RAN will revolutionize telecommunications--a generational platform shift that empowers the United States to regain global leadership in this vital infrastructure technology," Nvidia Chief Executive Jensen Huang said.
Dell Technologies will also supply servers to power the new networks, they added.
"The next leap in telecom isn't just from 5G to 6G--it's a fundamental redesign of the network to deliver AI-powered connectivity," Nokia Chief Executive Justin Hotard said.
The move comes amid a global rise in demand for connectivity and computing power, which is putting increasing strain on telecom networks. Almost 50% of ChatGPT customers access the site via mobile devices, the companies noted.
Financial details weren't disclosed.
