Nokia says it is undecided on Nvidia GPUs for future 6G radios
Nokia said it is undecided about using Nvidia GPUs in future massive MIMO radio units for 6G, according to Light Reading.
TL;DR
- Nokia said it has not decided whether future massive MIMO radio products will use Nvidia graphics processing units, or GPUs.
- Nokia said Nvidia GPUs offer significant benefits in AI-RAN, which refers to using artificial intelligence in radio access network functions.
- The comments were reported in the context of Nokia's competition with Ericsson on future 6G radio technology.
Nokia said future massive MIMO radio units could potentially use Nvidia GPUs, but the company has not made a decision. Massive MIMO, or massive multiple-input multiple-output, is a radio technology that uses large numbers of antennas to improve network capacity and coverage.
Nokia said Nvidia GPUs have major benefits in AI-RAN. AI-RAN refers to the use of artificial intelligence in the radio access network, including for processing, optimization, and automation of network functions.
Light Reading reported the comments as part of a broader comparison between Nokia and Ericsson over future 6G radio development. The source excerpt did not provide a launch date, product name, or deployment timeline for any Nokia radio using Nvidia technology.
