Ericsson and Intel have recently announced a strategic partnership. To speed up the development of solutions in the field of AI-Native 6G. In this partnership, Ericsson will leverage its expertise in radio access networks, while Intel will leverage its expertise in computing. Together, the companies are working to develop a strong foundation for future mobile networks. At the same time, the companies are working to develop artificial intelligence in the architecture of the network itself. By doing so, future networks are expected to be more intelligent and efficient. Allowing operators to manage traffic complexities in a much easier manner.
Borje Ekholm, President and CEO, Ericsson, says: “6G is not merely an iteration of mobile technology. It is the infrastructure that will distribute AI across devices, the edge, and the cloud. Ericsson’s long history of network innovation and large-scale operator deployments positions us to lead practical integration across the value chain and move 6G from research into commercial reality.”
Focus on High-Performance Computing and Sustainable Networks
Furthermore, this partnership takes advantage of Intel’s silicon technology to improve high-performance computing activities. This is an important aspect since data-intensive applications will be supported. As a result, users will enjoy a seamless experience on all digital platforms. Moreover, the companies aim to develop a green technology network. This technology will help minimize energy consumption while increasing the capacity of the network. This is an important aspect since it adheres to industry standards worldwide.
Lip-Bu Tan, CEO, Intel, says: “Intel’s ambition is to be the undisputed technology leader in unifying RAN, Core, and edge AI to enable a seamless transition to AI-native 6G environments. Together with Ericsson, we will continue to demonstrate that the future of network connectivity is open, power-efficient, secure, and grounded in intelligent AI inference. With future Ericsson Silicon, powered by Intel’s most advanced process nodes, ongoing multi-year research plans, and flexible AI-RAN-ready Cloud RAN powered by Intel Xeon, we are well on our way to delivering the future performance, efficiency, and supply security that the world’s leading operators require.”
