NVIDIA said major operators and telecom suppliers have agreed to work on 6G using open and secure AI-native platforms. The coalition turns 6G planning into a broader contest over programmable AI infrastructure, not only radios and spectrum.
At Mobile World Congress on February 28, 2026, NVIDIA and major global telecom and infrastructure partners announced a joint commitment to open and secure AI-native 6G platforms. The initiative ties operator adoption, ecosystem standards, and AI-RAN execution into a single coalition roadmap.
NVIDIA said on March 1, 2026 that AI-RAN is moving from lab validation to live field execution. The company highlighted operator milestones with T-Mobile U.S., SoftBank, and IOH, plus SynaXG results reporting 36 Gbps throughput and sub-10 ms latency on a single GH200-based setup.
