Wind River and AMD address AI-RAN challenges

Wind River and AMD are working together to tackle technical hurdles in applying artificial intelligence to radio access networks (AI-RAN). Announced at MWC 2026, the collaboration combines Wind River’s edge software expertise with AMD’s semiconductor platforms to support more advanced, software-driven mobile networks.

The two companies aim to make AI-driven RAN deployments more practical by focusing on performance, power use and manageability at the network edge. By tuning software and hardware together, they intend to help operators run demanding AI workloads closer to users, while keeping infrastructure costs and complexity under control.
