Nokia and SoftBank are aiming at the development of AI-RAN using Nokia’s virtualized Radio Access Network (Cloud RAN) platform and conduct field testing using centimeter waves, which are expected to be utilized for 6G.

The innovative communication system enabled by AI-RAN and 6G could bring fundamental changes to societies and economies by providing faster and highly flexible wider-range connectivity. It could also open up possibilities for the development of smart cities, industrial automation, and even the creation of new business models.

“Transparency is central to building trust in AI especially when it is used in customer service. Telcos need to be aware that many regulatory frameworks mandate that customers receive clear information regarding the use of AI including any limitations of the technology,” Sarah McBride, Principal Analyst, Regulation, at Omdia, said recently.
