Today, we’re thrilled to announce a groundbreaking collaboration between Vapor IO and NVIDIA to launch AI Aerial, an industry-first AI-enabled wireless network. Powered by Vapor IO’s cutting-edge edge infrastructure, AI Aerial represents a massive leap forward in how telecommunications providers manage and optimize their networks, all while creating exciting new revenue opportunities. And the city leading the charge? Las Vegas, which has signed up as the first live customer for AI Aerial, cementing its status as a major hub for wireless innovation.
In just a few weeks, thousands of people will converge on Las Vegas for Mobile World Congress (MWC), where the city will not only host the world’s top telecom innovators but also showcase its pioneering role in bringing AI-enabled wireless networks to life. This is more than just a tech showcase—Las Vegas is setting the standard for what the future of connectivity will look like for cities around the world.
What is AI Aerial, and Why Does it Matter?
At its core, NVIDIA’s AI Aerial is an advanced platform designed to enable AI-powered radio access networks (AI-RAN). This is the technology that will drive the next generation of wireless networks, making them faster, smarter, and more efficient. The collaboration with Vapor IO is key, as their Zero Gap AI edge infrastructure makes it possible to bring AI-driven compute power right to the network’s edge.
By leveraging Vapor IO’s infrastructure, Las Vegas will be able to provide ultra-low latency services, supporting everything from generative AI to autonomous vehicles and smart cities. The city’s wireless network will be capable of handling some of the most demanding applications, enabling a wide range of new revenue streams for telecom providers.
Las Vegas Leads the Charge
Las Vegas’ role as the first live customer for NVIDIA AI Aerial isn’t just about prestige—it’s about leadership in technology innovation. The city’s commitment to deploying this platform highlights its ambition to be a leader in 5G, AI, and edge computing. With the AI-RAN Innovation Center backing this initiative, Las Vegas is now at the forefront of next-generation telecommunications.
This platform will allow Las Vegas to dynamically shift workloads between edge data centers and optimize performance in real-time. Whether it’s enabling AR/VR experiences, powering autonomous drones, or supporting smart infrastructure, AI Aerial ensures that the city’s network can meet any demand.
I am excited to support this groundbreaking initiative. Leveraging AI to optimize our city’s infrastructure aligns perfectly with our vision of becoming a global leader in smart city innovation. The integration of advanced technology into the fabric of Las Vegas will not only enhance our connectivity but also drive efficiency, safety, and the overall experience for residents and visitors alike.”
