On February 26th, it was reported that although the era of 6G has not yet arrived, many manufacturers have already quietly started to work on related technologies. Some European and American giants have begun to form alliances to play the game of technology blockade.
The AI-RAN Alliance was established today at MWC 2024 in Barcelona, led by NVIDIA, aimed at technological innovation to seize a more advantageous position in the upcoming era of 6G.
The organization has a total of 11 initial members, including Samsung, ARM, Ericsson, Microsoft, Nokia, NVIDIA, SoftBank, and other semiconductor, telecommunications, and software giants, with no Chinese companies included.
Regarding joining this alliance, Samsung stated that emerging services in the era of 6G will completely change the way people interact with technology, and AI will be an indispensable part of this trend.
The AI-RAN Alliance will promote cooperation, drive innovation, and usher in a new era of transformation around AI and 6G networks.
In fact, even in the current 5G networks, although there are many similar small groups, Huawei is far ahead based on its own strength, so this is not surprising either.
