NVIDIA Aerial Software Accelerates 5G on NVIDIA GPUs NVIDIA Blog

Speeding the mass adoption of AI at the 5G edge, NVIDIA has introduced Aerial, a software developer kit enabling GPU-accelerated, software-defined wireless radio access networks. In his keynote at Mobile World Congress Los Angeles, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang detailed how Aerial, running on the NVIDIA EGX platform, enables AI services and immersive content at the edge of 5G networks. This allows telcos to dynamically -- on a session-by-session basis -- offer unique services to customers. Traditional solutions cannot be reconfigured quickly, therefore telco operators need a new network architecture. One that's high performance and reconfigurable by the second, Huang explained. Such virtualized radio access networks run in the wireless infrastructure closest to customers, making it well suited to offer AI services at the edge.
