NVIDIA reveals 6G research cloud platform

NVIDIA has announced the NVIDIA 6G Research Cloud platform that marks a significant leap in the evolution of wireless technology. This open, flexible and interconnected platform empowers researchers to shape the future of communication by advancing AI-driven radio access network (RAN) technology for the upcoming 6G era.

It also lets organisations accelerate the development of 6G technologies that will connect trillions of devices with the cloud infrastructures, laying the foundation for a hyper-intelligent world supported by autonomous vehicles, smart spaces and a wide range of extended reality and immersive education experiences and collaborative robots.

Ansys, Arm, ETH Zurich, Fujitsu, Keysight, Nokia, Northeastern University, Rohde & Schwarz, Samsung, SoftBank, and Viavi are among its first adopters and ecosystem partners.

The NVIDIA 6G Research Cloud platform comprises the NVIDIA Aerial Omniverse Digital Twin for 6G, the NVIDIA Aerial CUDA-Accelerated RAN, and the NVIDIA Sionna Neural Radio Framework that provides seamless integration with popular frameworks such as PyTorch and TensorFlow.

“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. “Key to achieving this will be the use of AI, a software-defined, full-RAN reference stack and next-generation digital twin technology,” said Ronnie Vasishta, Senior Vice President of Telecom at NVIDIA.
