Nvidia and Softbank Join Forces To Deploy AI-Based 5G MEC Telco Network Across Japan
Overview:
Earlier this month, Nvidia and Softbank announced that they had developed a dual-purpose AI-driven 5G MEC and vRAN distributed platform based on Nvidia's new GH200 Grace Hopper superchip. The two partners intend to deploy a network of regional data centres across Japan later this year to capitalize on the demand for accelerated computing and generative AI services. The shared multi-tenant platform will also offer a range of 5G vRAN applications.
