Aarna & Supermicro: Reference Architecture for AI-RAN Distributed Inference

The telecom industry is undergoing a rapid transformation, driven by the convergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI), cloud-native technologies, and the accelerating demands of 5G and emerging 6G networks.  

RAN sites constitute the biggest CAPEX of a 5G rollout. Sadly, the average hardware utilization of RAN sites is only 20-30%. So the most expensive part of a 5G rollout is sitting idle 70-80% of the time. How does this make any sense?

This joint whitepaper by Supermicro and Aarna.ml introduces a comprehensive Reference Architecture for AI RAN Distributed Inference, built on the powerful NVIDIA GH200 Grace Hopper Platform and a flexible multi-tenant cloud management layer. Designed to help Communication Service Providers (CSPs) unlock new monetization streams, optimize RAN performance, and scale AI applications at the network edge, this future-proof architecture brings together high-performance hardware, intelligent software orchestration, and dynamic resource allocation.  

The result: a scalable, low-latency, secure, and efficient solution for distributed telco edge environments – serving both RAN and AI workloads.
