New York: Cloudera, the only true hybrid platform for data, analytics, and AI, today announced it has joined the AI-RAN Alliance, a global consortium committed to integrating AI into telecommunications infrastructure. Cloudera joins a pioneering group of telecommunication providers collaborating with data and AI companies to drive the AI-RAN agenda and transform telecommunication networks into intelligent, revenue-generating platforms with real-time data and AI.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, as telecommunication providers race to optimize the cost of network operations through virtualization and next-generation infrastructure and architectures, AI provides a unique opportunity. AI enhances network service efficiency and opens up significant opportunities for service innovation. The complexity of deploying AI across distributed edge environments is challenging, and telecommunication providers must drive strategic enterprise-wide efforts to operationalize AI at scale across the radio access network (RAN) to unlock its full commercial potential.
