6G

Nvidia is embarking on a somewhat self-serving initiative to expand the use of AI technologies in telecommunications hardware and software. It has formed a consortium to push for an AI-first 6G network standard.

HMD Global has unveiled a new mid-range smartphone, the M-Kopa X30, that combines a camera module in the design of the Apple iPhone 17 Pro with a 50 MP selfie camera, a 1080p+ display and a 3.5 mm headphone jack.

Nvidia will invest $1 billion in Nokia, gaining a 2.9% stake to support the development of AI-based networking and 6G technologies. The partnership focuses on integrating Nvidia’s AI systems into Nokia’s radio and data center infrastructure to create more adaptive networks. T-Mobile will also help test the new AI-RAN technology, with early trials expected next year.

Promising ultra-fast data speeds of up to 100 Gbps alongside low latency and enhanced connectivity, the world's first 6G chip was unveiled by scientists from Peking University and the City University of Hong Kong. Since the chip is a prototype, the first commercial networks to use it are still a few years away.
