NVIDIA, in collaboration with leading U.S. telecom and technology partners — Booz Allen, Cisco, MITRE, ODC, and T-Mobile — has unveiled America’s first AI-native wireless stack to accelerate the nation’s path toward 6G.
Built on the NVIDIA AI Aerial platform, the new AI-RAN stack integrates advanced AI across hardware, software, and architecture to support the exponential growth of AI-driven data traffic. It will enable next-generation networks with multimodal integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) for public safety, spectrum agility, and intelligent connectivity.
The initiative, developed under the AI-WIN project, achieved a milestone by completing the first user-to-user 6G call at NVIDIA’s Santa Clara campus within just six months.
The system combines ODC’s 5G RAN software, Cisco’s 5G core, and 6G-specific applications from MITRE and Booz Allen, with NVIDIA providing the AI processing backbone.
Cisco’s contribution centers on secure, AI-enhanced network connectivity through real-time learning and sensing capabilities to support future physical AI applications.
ODC’s software-defined 5G RAN, powered by NVIDIA, delivers 7x higher cell capacity and 3.5x better power efficiency than traditional systems — a benchmark for future AI-accelerated networks.
Booz Allen and NVIDIA jointly developed a multimodal ISAC solution combining camera vision with radio-frequency sensing for enhanced spatial awareness in low-visibility environments, critical for public safety and defense.
MITRE’s AI-powered spectrum agility tool dynamically optimizes frequency allocation in real time, improving spectral efficiency while minimizing service interruptions.
The NVIDIA Aerial Framework further extends this ecosystem by offering modular APIs that integrate third-party AI applications directly into the wireless stack, enabling continuous learning and optimization.
With this innovation, NVIDIA and its partners are redefining telecom architecture — laying the foundation for a smarter, more efficient, and AI-driven 6G future made in America.
