What the current evidence supports
Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28
Proceed with caution
- Why
- Genuinely commercial (Q2 2026, software-only on existing AI-ready radios, 15+ deployments validated by SoftBank/Bell/SK Telecom/Rogers) and avoids GPU capex, but the load-bearing numbers are vendor 'up to' figures and pricing is undisclosed, so ROI is not yet independently establishable
- Next
- If operating Ericsson RAN, request a scoped trial with measured before/after on your own traffic and demand per-site pricing; otherwise treat as competitive intelligence on the software-only AI-RAN path
