Samsung is partnering with SoftBank to bring AI-RAN technologies for next-generation communications and expertise to drive innovation for future wireless.
The Korean tech giant is actively working on 6G wireless communication technologies. A few weeks ago, Samsung officially announced its participation in the Verizon 6G Innovation Forum, aiming to build a comprehensive ecosystem and accelerate the advancement of 6G wireless communication technologies.
Now, Samsung has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with SoftBank Corp. to bring next-generation communications technologies, including 6G and AI-based radio access network (AI-RAN) innovations.
Samsung took its official newsroom to announce that both of these firms will categorize next-gen communications technologies into four candidate areas, which are as follows –
- 6G, AI for RAN, RAN, and Large Telecom Model (LTM)
Noticeably, the Korean tech firm continues to lead research in 6G and AI-powered communications technologies through its ACRC under Samsung Research. It is also looking forward to hosting the Silicon Valley Future Wireless Summit event next month, aimed at fostering dialogue among industry leaders, academia, and government organizations on AI-RAN research.
Regarding this collaboration, JinGuk Jeong, Executive Vice President and Head of Advanced Communications Research Center (ACRC) at Samsung Research, stated, “Through this collaboration with SoftBank, we aim to define meaningful use cases for both operators and end users, while securing key technologies for future commercialization,” and added “Building on our advanced expertise in AI-RAN and 6G, Samsung will continue to lead innovation in next-generation communications.”
