Nokia said it and NVIDIA have developed what it describes as the first commercial AI-driven radio access network (RAN) platform. Nokia said the platform could enable operators to double data transmission capacity on existing infrastructure by 2028. With hardware shipments to operators slated to start next year, Nokia expects spectrum efficiency to improve about 50%. The platform includes three new hardware products plus a software component, supports Open RAN interoperability and, via software upgrades, could be made compatible with as-yet-unfinalized 6G standards.
