AI-RAN Alliance Grows to 75 Members, Unveils Pioneering AI-RAN Technology Demos and AI-RAN Alliance-Endorsed Labs
BARCELONA, Spain: The AI-RAN Alliance has rapidly grown to 75 members, spanning 17 countries across the world. Founded at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2024, the Alliance unites 43 technology companies, 15 academic institutions, seven service providers, six industry associations, and four labs to accelerate AI-RAN (Artificial Intelligence-Radio Access Networks) development and ecosystem adoption. At MWC 2025, the Alliance will showcase ten cutting-edge demos that illustrate AI's transformative impact on wireless networks.
“We are thrilled by the remarkable growth of the AI-RAN Alliance,” said Alex Jinsung Choi, Chair of the AI-RAN Alliance and Principal Fellow of SoftBank Corp.'s Research Institute of Advanced Technology. “The collective effort of our members — from academia to industry leaders — is driving innovation at an unprecedented pace, enabling AI-RAN to supercharge 5G and O-RAN, while laying the foundation for AI-native 6G networks. At MWC 2025, our real-world demos will showcase how AI-native RAN technologies enhance network efficiency, unlock new revenue streams, and enable groundbreaking new AI services.”
Driving Progress Through a Unified Global Effort
The AI-RAN Alliance distinguishes itself from other industry organizations with its unique focus on innovations and benchmarks. Unlike traditional standards development organizations (SDOs) that prioritize standard-setting, the Alliance offers a trusted framework for validating and testing next-generation of AI-enabled technologies in the wireless domain. On the one hand, it encourages members to bring ideas and concepts without requiring intellectual property disclosures or any licensing terms. On the other hand, the Alliance enables members to contribute data, code and AI/ML algorithms for public use to foster a new age of rapid innovation in the wireless sector. By doing so, it sets a new platform for ideation and collaboration with trusted benchmarking processes to truly transform the future of wireless communication.
The AI-RAN Alliance is advancing practical frameworks, best practices, and reference implementations to enable seamless AI integration into RAN deployments. To facilitate this mission, the AI-RAN Alliance today announced its collaboration with Keysight Technologies, Northeastern University, Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), and VIAVI Solutions to create four, distinct AI-RAN Alliance-endorsed labs, with more labs on the way.
The Alliance’s working groups focus on three key areas:
In addition to these working groups, the AI-RAN Alliance is also launching two flagship initiatives:
Pioneering the Future of AI RAN at MWC 2025
At MWC 2025, the AI-RAN Alliance will unveil ten real-world demonstrations that exemplify how AI could optimize RAN performance, enhance energy efficiency, and enable new levels of automation and flexibility. These demonstrations, which you can visit at their respective booths, represent collaborative efforts among the group’s leading industry players, academia, and research institutions with the implementation of a series of new projects to commence throughout 2025.
Highlights include:
Demo 1: “Learned Air Interface with Online Learning”
Demo 2: “Realization of Deep Learning for Uplink Channel Estimation/Interpolation in Live RAN Testbed”
Demo 3: “AI-based PUSCH Channel Estimation”
Demo 4: “AI/ML Optimized Higher-Order Modulations with a Neuromorphic Receiver”
Demo 5: “AI-based 5G Beamforming for Mobility-Aware Interference Mitigation and Power Saving”
Demo 6: “AI-based Spectrum Sensing in the RAN”
Demo 7: “AI-RAN Orchestration”
Demo 8: “AI-Driven Spectrum Sensing for Dynamic & Privacy-preserving AI Model Partitioning over 5G Network”
Demo 9: “Integrated Sensing and Communications (ISAC)”
Demo 10: “AI-on-RAN Object Detection”
Leadership on Display at MWC 2025
Alex Jinsung Choi, Chair of the AI-RAN Alliance, along with Alliance founding members NVIDIA and Samsung, will join an expert panel at MWC 2025 on Wednesday, March 5, from 14:30 to 15:15 at the Marconi Stage, Hall 6. The panel, AI-Driven RAN Automation: Transforming Networks for a Smarter, More Efficient Future, will explore how AI-enabled RAN automation enhances network performance, optimizes resource management, and supports diverse RAN architectures. Watch the panel to see Choi share the Alliance’s milestones, insights on AI-native RAN’s future, and opportunities for global collaboration to drive telecom innovation.
