NVIDIA has announced a broad industry commitment to build the world’s next generation of wireless networks on AI-native, open and secure platforms, bringing together major telecom operators, technology vendors and research institutions to shape the foundations of 6G.
The initiative brings NVIDIA together with partners including Booz Allen, BT Group, Cisco, Deutsche Telekom, Ericsson, Nokia, SK Telecom, SoftBank Corp. and T-Mobile. Together, they aim to ensure that future 6G infrastructure is intelligent, resilient, interoperable and trusted at a global scale.
Unlike previous generations of wireless technology, 6G is expected to function as the backbone of what NVIDIA calls “physical AI,” supporting billions of autonomous machines, vehicles, sensors and robots. That shift will place far greater demands on security, reliability and real-time intelligence—requirements that legacy telecom architectures were not designed to handle.
To address this, NVIDIA is pushing for AI-native, software-defined wireless networks that embed artificial intelligence across the radio access network, edge and core. The goal is to enable networks that can sense, reason and adapt in real time, while remaining open to innovation, resilient to supply-chain disruptions and aligned with global trust and security expectations.
“AI is redefining computing and driving the largest infrastructure buildout in human history — and telecommunications is next,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. He said the collaboration will help transform telecom networks into AI infrastructure that underpins future digital economies.
Executives from global operators echoed that view, positioning 6G as a platform not just for faster connectivity but for intelligence at scale. Leaders from BT Group, Deutsche Telekom, SK Telecom, SoftBank and T-Mobile said open and trusted AI-native platforms will be essential to unlock new services, improve customer experience and support autonomous systems across industries.
The effort also has strong government and policy alignment. Arielle Roth, Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Communications and Information in the United States, said global leadership in 6G will be critical to economic competitiveness and national security, and described the coalition as evidence of growing international alignment around next-generation wireless technology.
NVIDIA said it is already participating in multiple public and private initiatives worldwide to advance 6G research and deployment. These include U.S. government-backed programs focused on open and software-defined architectures, industry-led AI-RAN collaborations, and joint projects across Europe, the U.K., Japan and South Korea aimed at building secure, programmable and interoperable wireless infrastructure.
Taken together, the partnerships signal an early but coordinated push to define how 6G will be built—placing artificial intelligence, openness and trust at the core of the world’s future connectivity.
