Nvidia and Softbank Corp have joined forces to launch the world’s pioneering 5G telecom network driven by artificial intelligence, marking a significant milestone in technological collaboration.
At the recent Nvidia AI Summit held in Japan, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang and SoftBank Chairman and CEO Masayoshi Son unveiled the innovative AI-RAN (radio access network) that integrates both AI and 5G capabilities seamlessly.
This groundbreaking network is poised to revolutionize telecom services by enabling concurrent processing of AI and 5G workloads, paving the way for new revenue streams for telecommunications providers as highlighted in a blogpost on Nvidia’s website.
Son emphasized that this intelligent network will serve as a neural brain connecting various components to enhance infrastructure intelligence across Japan.
Applications of this advanced network range from robotics control to remote support for autonomous vehicles, showcasing its versatility and potential impact on various industries.
The partnership between Nvidia and Softbank extends beyond the AI 5G network to include the development of Japan’s most powerful AI supercomputer powered by SoftBank’s DGX SuperPOD utilizing Nvidia Blackwell platform technology. This collaboration aims to bolster Japan’s AI initiatives with tailored computing power solutions tailored specifically for Japanese language models.
“By establishing this expansive data center here in Japan, we aim to provide researchers, students, and startups with enhanced computing resources,” Son stated during the event.
The CEOs also delved into Japan’s pivotal role in driving the global AI revolution. Huang underscored the significance of robust AI infrastructure encompassing both digital and physical realms.
“As we embark on a new industrial revolution fueled by robotics and artificial intelligence, I believe Japan is uniquely positioned to lead this transformative journey,” Huang remarked while acknowledging Japan’s prowess in robotics innovation.
