Wedoany.com Report-Oct. 30, NVIDIA has introduced America’s first AI-native wireless stack for 6G, developed in collaboration with Booz Allen, Cisco, MITRE, ODC, and T-Mobile. The announcement marks a major milestone in next-generation wireless innovation, integrating artificial intelligence across hardware, software, and network architecture to prepare for rapidly expanding AI-driven connectivity. The system, built on NVIDIA’s AI Aerial platform, supports advanced 6G applications, including multimodal integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) for public safety and spectrum agility, offering improved spectral efficiency and seamless network performance.

The collaboration, part of the AI-WIN initiative, was completed within six months at NVIDIA’s campus in Santa Clara, California. The team successfully conducted the first user-to-user phone call over the new AI-native network and demonstrated several breakthrough applications. The system combines NVIDIA’s AI Aerial platform, ODC’s 5G RAN software, Cisco’s 5G core and user plane function, and specialized 6G applications from MITRE and Booz Allen.

Cisco’s contribution focuses on accelerating secure network connectivity for the AI era, ensuring the infrastructure can manage vast data loads efficiently. Cerberus ODC’s software-defined 5G RAN, powered by NVIDIA AI Aerial, sets new benchmarks in the industry with seven times higher cell capacity and 3.5 times greater power efficiency than traditional systems, supporting simultaneous AI and RAN workloads.

Booz Allen and NVIDIA jointly developed a multimodal ISAC application that merges camera vision and radio-frequency sensing to enhance object detection and tracking, even in poor visibility. This innovation improves situational awareness in public safety, industrial monitoring, and national security contexts. Camera vision provides imagery of moving objects, while radio-frequency sensors detect distance, velocity, and location, even when visual data is limited.

MITRE has built an AI-driven spectrum agility application that optimizes real-time wireless spectrum allocation within cell sites. Unlike traditional systems that shut down entire frequency bands when interference occurs, the AI model selectively isolates and blocks affected frequencies, maintaining user connectivity and greatly improving spectral efficiency.

At NVIDIA GTC in Washington D.C., Booz Allen showcased R.AI.DIO, an AI-powered spectrum sensing solution capable of identifying and classifying interference or unauthorized network usage in real time. This system allows operators to automatically detect and respond to network threats, maintaining integrity and stability.

The NVIDIA AI Aerial software libraries and Aerial Framework make these applications possible, offering modular pipelines and APIs that integrate third-party tools and provide real-time access to physical-layer data for continuous AI model training and optimization.

NVIDIA Senior Vice President of Telecom Ronnie Vasishta said: “6G is being built from the ground up with AI at its core — unlocking extreme spectral efficiency, massive connectivity and breakthrough applications.” Cisco Senior Vice President Masum Mir added: “Through this partnership, we are pioneering intelligent, secure connectivity where AI is embedded into mobile networks and services.”

The AI-native wireless stack represents a foundational step toward 6G, creating a unified architecture capable of supporting hundreds of billions of connected devices while driving telecom innovation and efficiency.
