Nvidia, T-Mobile Power Next Wave Of Smart Cities With Edge AI

Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) and T-Mobile US, Inc. (NASDAQ:TMUS) are working with Nokia Corporation (NYSE:NOK) and developers to deploy physical AI applications over distributed edge networks, the companies said at GTC. The effort focuses on AI-RAN infrastructure, which integrates AI computing into wireless networks to support real-time applications across cities, utilities, and industrial sites using the Nvidia Metropolis platform. Edge AI and Network Shift T-Mobile is piloting Nvidia’s RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition to run AI workloads at the network edge while maintaining 5G performance. The setup enables computation to shift from devices to nearby edge locations, reducing hardware demands and improving scalability. “Telecommunication networks are evolving into the AI infrastructure enabling billions of devices — from vision AI agents to robots and autonomous vehicles — to see, hear and act in real time,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of Nvidia. “Turning networks into distributed AI computing platforms to unlock the full potential of Physical AI will require ultra-low latency and space time coherency at the network edge for billions of endpoints, and that’s what we’ve built at T-Mobile,” said Srini Gopalan, Chief Executive Officer of T-Mobile. Use Cases and Platform Update Developers, including Fogsphere, LinkerVision, Levatas, Vaidio, and Siemens Energy, are building AI agents for traffic management, utility inspection, and industrial safety. Nvidia also introduced its Metropolis VSS 3 blueprint, which enables faster video analysis and search. The company said it can process queries in seconds and summarize footage up to 100 times faster than manual review. The collaboration highlights a broader push to turn telecom networks into platforms for real-time AI computing.
