Nvidia introduced a new software platform on Monday, driven by artificial intelligence, to facilitate research on 6G technology by creating simulated communication environments in the cloud.
6G, the next generation of communication technology succeeding 5G, is anticipated to become commercially available around 2030.
This platform from Nvidia enables researchers and organizations to test 6G networks in real-time by simulating various environments like single cell towers or entire cities.
Some early adopters of this platform include Ansys, Nokia, Samsung, SoftBank Corp, and Northeastern University in Boston.
According to Ronnie Vasishta, Nvidia’s senior vice president of telecom, the advancement to 6G will demand a significant improvement in wireless efficiency to accommodate the growing number of connected devices and new applications.
Following the announcement, technology stocks experienced a surge as Nvidia hosted its global artificial intelligence conference for developers in San Jose, California.
However, European shares, especially in the telecom sector, witnessed a decline, with companies like Ericsson and Nokia experiencing notable drops in their stock prices.
Analysts suggest that telecom equipment suppliers need to collaborate with chip companies and cloud vendors, as they are no longer the sole driving force in the mobile infrastructure market.
