Mavenir launches 5G hyperconverged edge AI solution

Mavenir announced the launch of an AI-on-5G Hyper Converged Edge solution working in close collaboration with NVIDIA. Mavenir has developed this solution based on NVIDIA’s hardware and software technologies, enabling Enterprises & Telcos to implement AI-on-5G applications for many verticals such as Manufacturing, Mining, and Healthcare that cover Industry 4.0 applications, including Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Intelligent Video Analytics (IVA) and Extended Reality (XR) and Gaming use cases.

The use cases can be around remote and immersive collaboration, precision robotics control, people safety, intrusion detection, smart connected factories, real-time manufacturing component defect detection and proactive maintenance using near real-time analytics of sensor data, said a press release from the company. 5G enables an architecture for the smart connected factories and farms, cities, logistics operations in which wireless sensors, machinery, robots, and people can flexibly collaborate on the same system.

Kuntal Chowdhury, SVP & GM for the AI & Analytics Business Unit at Mavenir, said: For Industry 4.0 and 5G, an innovative edge solution is required to process data in near real time and support wide carrier bandwidths to provide high data rate and low latency while maintaining low power consumption and overall cost-effectiveness. Working with Mavenir, the power of AI-on-5G will soon become apparent across multiple industries,” said Ronnie Vasishta, senior vice president of Telecoms at NVIDIA. “The security and low latency of 5G, combined with the computing power of AI are set to transform whole industries and increase productivity around the world.”
