Ahead of the opening of MWC Barcelona, Nvidia unveiled a vision to build 6G on an AI-native platform together with the global telecommunications industry.

On March 1 (local time), SiliconANGLE reported that Nvidia is working with Booz Allen Hamilton, BT Group, Cisco, Deutsche Telekom, Nokia and T-Mobile, among others.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang (젠슨 황) said, "AI is redefining computing and is leading the largest infrastructure build in human history, and telecom is next."

Nvidia aims to transform telecommunications networks worldwide into AI infrastructure through AI-RAN (artificial intelligence radio access networking) technology. AI-RAN is an AI-based network architecture that continuously evolves through software, enabling real-time intelligence and rapid advancement, Nvidia said.

6G is expected to enter commercial service in 2030, with early trial services starting in 2028.

Nvidia also announced cooperation with T-Mobile, SoftBank and Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison on the commercialisation of AI-RAN.

To realise autonomous networks, Nvidia also unveiled a Nemotron-based large telecom language model (LTM), a guide for building network operations agents, and an operating blueprint covering energy savings, network configuration and multi-agent orchestration.

Nvidia and Tech Mahindra also jointly released an open-source guide on how telecom operators can fine-tune domain-specific reasoning models and build agents for network operations centre workflows.
