AITRAS, the world's first AI and 5G telecommunications network, has been launched by NVIDIA and SoftBank Corp.
The breakthrough solution allows for flexible, cost-efficient and GPU-based AI orchestration, according to chairman of AI-RAN Alliance Jinsung Choi.
Advanced networks that allow AI and 5G to function correspondingly can unlock newer and higher revenue opportunities for telecom providers, according to Ericsson.
Satellite internet services like Starlink could work alongside 5G networks, or even compete with them.
Quantum networking could make 5G less essential if advances in quantum communication lead to a quantum internet.
AI applications require faster and more reliable networks. 5G may eventually yield to future solutions like 6G, satellite internet, and the outernet.
6G, anticipated to support AI applications like autonomous vehicles and smart cities, will require major infrastructure investment and technological breakthroughs.
Outernet is a global satellite network project aiming to offer free internet access.
Overall, 5G has marked a significant advancement in wireless communication but future solutions are needed to meet the demands of the AI-powered world.
