5G Factor: T-Mobile Forms Bold AI-RAN Alliance and Orange Pushes Open RAN

On this episode of the Six Five Podcast - The 5G Factor, host Ron Westfall assesses why T-Mobile's Capital Market Day energized 5G ecosystem interest in AI RAN, how T-Mobile's alliance with NVIDIA, Ericsson, and Nokia can produce an AI RAN "Fantastic Four," a snapshot of the AI RAN market segment including NVIDIA’s competitive position, and why he agrees with Orange that Open RAN can prove its green credentials.
The assessment covers:
- How T-Mobile shrewdly leveraged its Capital Market Day event to unveil its new AI-RAN alliance with NVIDIA, Ericsson, and Nokia.
- Why T-Mobile and its key AI RAN partners, NVIDIA, Ericsson, and Nokia, are taking advantage of increased mobile ecosystem interest in AI RAN that is fueled heavily by the accelerating integration of AI throughout RAN portfolio development and deployments.
- NVIDIA Aerial AI Radio Frameworks include PyTorch- and TensorFlow-based software libraries to develop and train models for improving spectral efficiency and adding new capabilities to 5G and 6G radio signal processing.
- Why the Orange Group is warranted in its confidence that O-RAN-compliant radio units can achieve energy efficiencies comparable to traditional RUs.
