Ansys, Keysight, Nokia, Samsung, and Others Among First to Embrace NVIDIA’s Revolutionary Approach
SANTA CLARA — In a significant leap forward for telecommunications, NVIDIA has unveiled its groundbreaking 6G research platform, signaling a pivotal moment in the evolution of wireless technology. This platform, unveiled at GTC, promises to revolutionize the way researchers approach the development of next-generation wireless infrastructure.
The NVIDIA 6G Research Cloud platform represents a collaborative effort to harness the power of AI in advancing radio access network (RAN) technology. Designed to be open, flexible, and interconnected, this platform offers a comprehensive suite of tools aimed at accelerating the development of 6G technologies.
At the forefront of this initiative are industry giants such as Ansys, Keysight, Nokia, Samsung, and others, who have embraced NVIDIA’s vision for the future of wireless communications. Their early adoption of the platform underscores its potential to drive innovation and shape the trajectory of 6G development.
“The massive increase in connected devices and host of new applications in 6G will require a vast leap in wireless spectral efficiency in radio communications,” remarked Ronnie Vasishta, Senior Vice President of Telecom at NVIDIA. “Key to achieving this will be the use of AI, a software-defined, full-RAN reference stack, and next-generation digital twin technology.”
The NVIDIA 6G Research Cloud platform comprises three foundational elements:
- NVIDIA Aerial Omniverse Digital Twin for 6G: This reference application enables physically accurate simulations of complete 6G systems, facilitating the development of base-station algorithms and transmission efficiency improvements.
- NVIDIA Aerial CUDA-Accelerated RAN: A software-defined, full-RAN stack offering researchers significant flexibility to customize, program, and test 6G networks in real-time.
- NVIDIA Sionna Neural Radio Framework: Seamlessly integrating with popular frameworks like PyTorch and TensorFlow, this framework leverages NVIDIA GPUs for training AI and machine learning models at scale.
The convergence of 6G and AI holds the promise of transformative technological advancements, according to Charlie Zhang, Senior Vice President of Samsung Research America. This convergence will usher in an era of unparalleled connectivity and innovation, redefining our interactions with the digital world.
Industry leaders like Ansys and Keysight are committed to advancing the mission of the 6G Research Cloud by contributing their expertise and cutting-edge technologies. Shawn Carpenter, Program Director of 5G/6G and Space at Ansys, emphasized the revolutionary potential of Ansys Perceive EM solver in creating digital twins for 6G systems.
The NVIDIA 6G Research Cloud platform represents a significant milestone in the journey towards unlocking the full potential of 6G technology. By providing researchers with powerful tools and resources, NVIDIA is paving the way for the future of wireless communications.
