GlobalLogic Joins AI-RAN Alliance to Boost AI in RAN
As the telecommunications industry advances toward intelligent, autonomous and highly adaptive network infrastructures, GlobalLogic, a Hitachi Group Company, has become the latest member of the AI-RAN Alliance.
The move signifies a strategic commitment to deeply integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into radio access network (RAN) systems, driving innovations that will shape the future of wireless connectivity and digital ecosystems.
AI-RAN collaboration for next-generation networks
Founded in 2024, the AI-RAN Alliance is a global consortium dedicated to advancing AI integration within RAN systems.
The Alliance fosters cross-industry collaboration, bringing together network operators, technology providers, researchers and innovators to create AI-driven frameworks that improve RAN performance, flexibility and operational efficiency.
GlobalLogic’s entry into the Alliance reflects its strategic focus on using advanced AI/ML technologies to transform telecommunications infrastructure.
Sameer Tikoo, Group SVP Communications & Network Providers Lead at GlobalLogic, stated, “At GlobalLogic, we believe the next frontier of connectivity is intelligent, autonomous and energy-efficient.
“Our participation in the AI-RAN Alliance aligns perfectly with our vision to create smarter, more adaptive mobile networks that meet rising data demands and enable transformative use cases across industries.”
Applying AI expertise to RAN evolution
GlobalLogic will contribute its extensive experience in digital engineering, artificial intelligence, 5G, Cloud RAN (C-RAN), O-RAN and next-generation network architecture to help the Alliance unlock new levels of automation, optimisation and monetisation within the RAN domain.
- AI-for-RAN: Applying AI to enhance the performance of RAN systems by improving spectral efficiency, optimising radio resource allocation and elevating overall network capacity.
- AI-and-RAN: Integrating AI directly into RAN processes to streamline infrastructure utilisation, automate network functions and unlock new commercial opportunities for mobile operators.
- AI-on-RAN: Deploying AI workloads directly on RAN infrastructure to support real-time decision-making, ultra-low latency services and edge intelligence for emerging use cases.
AI-driven engineering impact across verticals
GlobalLogic’s technical approach combines advanced GPU-based signal processing with AI-powered algorithms to substantially improve network responsiveness and energy consumption and optimise radio resources. The innovations have far-reaching implications across multiple industry verticals.
GlobalLogic is helping mobile network operators modernise telecommunications infrastructure while opening new monetisation channels. GPU-accelerated processing and AI-enhanced real-time decision-making drive higher capacity, energy-efficient and scalable 5G and future RAN systems.
The approach supports network access initiation, optimises multi-user data management and improves service delivery across increasingly complex mobile networks.
In railway systems, GlobalLogic’s AI-RAN capabilities are being applied at the network edge to enable advanced safety and operational use cases, including real-time video analytics, predictive maintenance, onboard services and resilient critical communications.
For smart cities, AI-powered RAN is facilitating ultra-low latency applications such as Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communications and smart infrastructure integration.
The innovations enhance urban mobility, emergency response and public safety through real-time data-driven decision-making.
Industry leaders welcome GlobalLogic’s expertise
The AI-RAN Alliance demonstrates the value GlobalLogic brings to its collaborative mission.
Alex Jinsung Choi, Chair of the AI-RAN Alliance and Principal Fellow of SoftBank Corp.’s Research Institute of Advanced Technology, stated: “We are pleased to welcome GlobalLogic to the AI-RAN Alliance as we work to shape the future of intelligent AI-RAN.
“GlobalLogic’s expertise in AI/ML, 5G, and next-generation network architectures will help drive the Alliance’s mission to unlock new levels of automation, efficiency and innovation in AI-RAN systems.”
Driving sustainable, adaptive and autonomous networks
As mobile data consumption continues its exponential growth and network complexity increases, operators face mounting pressure to deliver scalable, sustainable and intelligent network solutions.
AI-powered RAN offers a critical pathway to address these challenges by automating network functions, optimising resource use and enabling flexible, real-time service delivery.
Through its membership in the AI-RAN Alliance, GlobalLogic reinforces its position as a leader in the digital engineering and telecommunications ecosystem.
It collaborates with global partners to build a new generation of intelligent and autonomous network infrastructures.
