Verizon and Nvidia have joined forces to create AI services tailored for enterprises, leveraging Verizon’s private 5G network to run various AI applications. This innovative offering, known as the 5G Private Network with Enterprise AI, will utilize Mobile Edge Compute (MEC) technology to enhance performance, reducing latency by bringing computation and storage closer to edge devices.
Nvidia’s contribution includes its AI Enterprise software platform and NIM microservices, aiming to simplify the implementation of AI services in enterprise settings. Demonstrations of this solution by Verizon engineers are expected to commence in early 2025.
The new platform supports multitenancy, meaning it can adapt to different customer needs and use cases. Enterprises can deploy it either as a fixed private network or use portable connectivity options. This flexibility allows for on-demand scaling to meet specific application requirements.
Verizon emphasizes the collaboration’s strengths, stating it combines the unique attributes of their private networks with Nvidia’s robust AI computing capabilities. This integration will enable the delivery of secure, low-latency AI applications, designed to handle resource-intensive tasks such as generative AI workloads, computer vision, augmented/virtual/extended reality (AR/VR/XR), and more.
As industries increasingly turn towards AI solutions, this partnership promises to advance the capabilities of enterprise applications in real-time contexts.
