The Middle East is moving Upper 6GHz (U6GHz) from spectrum planning into commercial reality, with the UAE helping establish a model for how regulation, research and industry collaboration can accelerate mobile connectivity. The region’s first commercial U6GHz deployments are more than a milestone in network speed: they demonstrate how operators globally can leverage ultra-wide bandwidth and low-latency connectivity to support emerging digital services today while preparing for 6G.

Aji Ed, VP of AI-RAN and cloud RAN at Nokia, outlines the fundamental architectural differences between traditional RAN and AI-RAN, explaining how the shift to software-defined, GPU-accelerated computing creates new monetisation opportunities for operators.

While the industry remains in the early stages of AI adoption, Aji Ed of Nokia, along with other industry experts, discusses some of the technology’s more immediate benefits, and emphasises that AI-RAN should be viewed as a revenue-generating platform enabling new services, rather than just an efficiency tool.
