• NVIDIA introduced a new virtual RAN platform based on its GPUs
• The company argues that a converged RAN/AI network can make the RAN more efficient and enable new services to further monetize mobile networks.
Earlier this year, when AI giant NVIDIA and others announced the formation of a new industry consortium, the AI RAN Alliance, the lack of detail surrounding their plans was understandable. After all, they had promised not much more than to begin exploring the ways that AI could be used to transform RANs.
