The industry has confidence in AI as an enabler of RAN automation, high network performance and operational efficiency.

75% of surveyed companies have either already launched or will launch commercial use of AI for RAN by the end of 2027.

The broader opportunity around AI-RAN infrastructure for AI inferencing is also evolving, with 36% of respondents having already begun their journey.

 

“In this survey, we studied two aspects of AI-RAN. More than 75% of operators listed AI-for-RAN as a short-term priority, with commercial use by the end of 2027. And 52% of operators indicated investment plans within the next 2 years in AI Telco Computing infrastructure. A few operators are still unsure, but not one operator responded that they have decided against AI-RAN.”
