NVIDIA and SoftBank have achieved a telecom milestone by conducting the first-ever test of a 5G network driven by AI technology. This pioneering network, built to support AI-powered radio access (AI-RAN), is designed to facilitate high-speed applications, including remote vehicle control and advanced robotics.

For this project, NVIDIA developed its Blackwell chip specifically for SoftBank, now powering AI supercomputers. SoftBank has launched the initial outdoor testing setup in Fujisawa City, Japan, where NVIDIA’s GH200 Grace Hopper Superchip allows a single server to manage baseband processing for 20 5G cells, each with 100 MHz bandwidth.

Using the 4.9 GHz frequency band, the test reached impressive speeds of up to 1.4 Gbps. This trial marks a significant step toward AI-optimized 5G networks, paving the way for faster, more intelligent telecommunications in the future.
