AT&T Inc (T) Demonstrates Working Prototype of 5G/Cloud RAN Feature

​AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) is one of the Best Value Stocks to Buy for the Long Term. On March 3, AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T), along with Ericsson, demonstrated a working prototype of an AI‑driven 5G/Cloud RAN feature that materially improves radio efficiency on the company’s future cloud-based network stack.

Management noted that Ericsson tested its AI-native Link Adaptation software on a Cloud RAN setup that matches AT&T’s planned deployment. The software was run using Intel’s Xeon 6 SoC as the compute platform. The company has made live calls over AT&T‑relevant spectrum. The tests showed that the AI‑based algorithm delivered up to approximately 20% higher throughput versus legacy rule‑based link adaptation.

​Management noted that this test is a proof-of-concept that AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) can deploy AI-enhanced RAN features at scale on its target cloud infrastructure. Rob Soni, Vice President, RAN Technology at AT&T, noted:

​“AT&T is leading the charge toward an open, intelligent, and scalable network future by advancing Open RAN and Cloud RAN with AI-native capabilities at its core. This demo highlights how AI capabilities, powered by our next-generation Cloud RAN platform, can be deployed seamlessly to drive innovation and deliver superior customer experiences.”
