Aerial CUDA-Accelerated RAN brings together the Aerial software for 5G and AI frameworks and the NVIDIA accelerated computing platform, enabling TCO reduction and unlocking infrastructure monetization for telcos.

Aerial CUDA-Accelerated RAN has the following key features:

  • Software-defined, scalable, modular, highly programmable and cloud-native, without any fixed function accelerators. Enables the ecosystem to flexibly adopt necessary modules for their commercial products.

  • Full-stack acceleration of DU L1, DU L2+, CU, UPF and other network functions, enabling workload consolidation for maximum performance and spectral efficiency, leading to best-in-class system TCO.

  • General purpose infrastructure, with multi-tenancy that can power both traditional workloads and cutting-edge AI applications for best-in-class RoA.
