Kyocera Develops AI-powered 5G Virtualized Base Station for the Telecommunication Infrastructure Market
February 18, 2025 | BUSINESS WIREEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Kyocera Corporation announced that it has officially begun the full-scale development of an AI-powered 5G virtualized base station, with plans to commercialize the technology.
As digital transformation (DX) accelerates globally, 5G mobile networks have become a critical societal infrastructure. Kyocera is leveraging its proprietary, globally developed telecommunications and virtualization technologies to bring base station functionality to general-purpose servers using the NVIDIA GH200 Grace HopperTM Superchip. Using AI, Kyocera’s 5G virtualized base stations will enhance performance, reduce power consumption, and streamline both operations and maintenance. By offering these 5G virtualized base stations as an optimized solution to customers worldwide, Kyocera will support the advancement of 5G systems and help create a prosperous and connected society.
Features of Kyocera’s 5G Virtualized Base Station
1. AI-Powered Base Station Functionality
Using AI, the system dynamically manages traffic congestion and optimizes frequency allocation, enabling higher upload/download speeds and improved quality. AI also monitors traffic to optimize base station power consumption, enhancing energy efficiency. Additionally, AI automates and optimizes various settings needed for operation and maintenance, allowing more efficient network management.
2. Dual Connectivity Functionality
Leveraging its advanced antenna technology, Kyocera has developed O-RAN-compliant CU/DU/RU (O-CU/O-DU/O-RU) capable of handling two distinct frequency bands: Sub-6-GHz and millimeter-wave. The system can accommodate rapid traffic increases by controlling traffic data from both frequency bands on a general-purpose accelerated computing server. Future next-generation frequency bands are supported through software upgrades.
3. Base Station Sharing Functionality
Kyocera’s innovation allows multiple telecommunications operators to share a single base station (CU/DU or O-RU) to process communication data. This functionality reduces the number of base stations required, minimizing operators' capital expenditures and electricity costs, while contributing to more efficient expansion of 5G wireless network coverage.
4. Extended Coverage Area and Reduced Power Consumption
With Kyocera’s expertise in software implementation, the system can extend fronthaul distance to more than 40 kilometers, enabling broader coverage areas. Additionally, consolidating CU/DU functions on a single server reduces power consumption.
