Keysight Technologies Inc. is collaborating on the new NVIDIA 6G Research Cloud Platform, which includes the NVIDIA Aerial Omniverse Digital Twin, an open, flexible, and interconnected framework of network emulation resources offering researchers a comprehensive tool suite on which to develop new adaptations of artificial intelligence (AI) for radio access networks (RAN). The addition of Keysight?s portfolio of network emulation solutions will enable researchers to develop and validate new approaches to optimize wireless communications access using Keysight?s full suite of end-to-end network emulation capabilities. The rapid pace of AI technology maturity is coming as 6G research is ramping quickly in its formative stage, making it likely that 6G will be the first generation of wireless to be fully AI-native.
Validating new AI algorithmic approaches optimized to increase network capacity, speed, and usage types requires emulating realistic network conditions at scale. Tools that realistically emulate every part of a wireless system are needed to train, test, and refine AI algorithms before they can be commercialized. To assist 6G researchers in building viable future AI algorithms, Keysight will add its comprehensive collection of network emulation and testing solutions covering the network from end-to-end to the NVIDIA 6G Research Cloud.
Keysight is creating cloud-based versions of these solutions and making them available on the research platform in a flexible and scalable manner. This will provide 6G researchers access to Keysight solutions in network realistic conditions to the NVIDIA 6G Research Cloud. As cloud-based solutions, the Keysight network emulations will now also be faster and more scalable access to NVIDIA?s seamless GPU-acceleration network.
