🚀 The journey to AI-native networks is happening now, not with 6G, but with today's 5G deployments.
Aji Ed, VP and Head of Cloud RAN & SMO at Nokia, and Paul Miller, CTO at Wind River discuss how AI-RAN, cloud-native architectures, and ecosystem collaboration are reshaping the future of telecommunications.
Three key takeaways from the conversation:
✅ AI is becoming the fourth network workload. After voice, data, and video, AI is driving the next wave of innovation, creating new opportunities for performance, automation, and service deliver.
✅ The path to 6G starts today. AI-native capabilities are being built incrementally into 5G networks, enabling a smoother evolution toward software-defined 6G architectures.
✅ No company can do it alone. Success depends on a strong ecosystem. The collaboration between Wind River, Nokia, silicon providers, and the broader industry is accelerating deployment of scalable, high-performance AI-RAN solutions.
If you're interested in AI-RAN, Open RAN, cloud-native networks, and what it takes to prepare for the 6G era, this conversation is worth your time.
