Nvidia (NVDA) and several telecom companies committed to building wireless network 6G on AI-native, open, and secure platforms.
An AI-native platform is a system designed from the ground up with AI as a core part rather than just a feature of the system.
The initiative — which includes commitments from Booz Allen (BAH), BT Group (BTGOF), Cisco (CSCO), Deutsche Telekom (DTEGY) (DTEGF), Ericsson (ERIC), MITRE, Nokia (NOK), OCUDU Ecosystem Foundation, ODC, SK Telecom (SKM), SoftBank (SFTBY) (SFTBF), and T-Mobile (TMUS) — represents a shared pledge to ensure that 6G infrastructure is open, intelligent, and safeguards global trust.
The companies said that beyond traditional connectivity, 6G wireless networks will become the fabric for physical AI, enabling billions of autonomous machines, vehicles, sensors, and robots and increasing demands for security and trust.
Nvidia noted that it is bringing the industry together to advance AI-native, software-defined wireless platforms built on open and trusted principles. By embedding AI across the radio access network, or RAN, edge and core, 6G networks must enable secure integrated sensing and communications, intelligence, and decision-making while supporting interoperability, according to the company.
“Together with a global coalition of industry leaders, NVIDIA is building AI-RAN to transform the world’s telecom networks into AI infrastructure everywhere,” said Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang.
