ベライゾンは、6Gイノベーションフォーラムの拡大を発表し、新たに9社が参加するとともに、統合センシング・通信(ISAC)の標準化前のフィールド実証実験とAIスポーツコンパニオンのプロトタイプが成功したと報告した。アマゾン・ウェブ・サービス、シスコ、インテル、キーサイト・テクノロジーズ、メディアテック、エヌビディア、パロアルト・ネットワークス、ローデ・シュワルツ、VIAVIソリューションズが正式にフォーラムに加わった。このフォーラムは昨年発足し、すでに創設メンバーとしてエリクソン、サムスン、ノキア、メタ、クアルコム・テクノロジーズが参加している。テキサス州ダラスで開催された大規模な国際サッカー祭典で実施された最初の実証実験では、ベライゾンとサムスンが単一の5G基地局と40MHzのCBRS周波数帯を使用し、6台のサムスン・ギャラクシー・スマートフォンからの電波変動を追跡した。サムスンのAI RANとエッジAIプラットフォーム「Network in a Server」が、商用スマートフォンとタブレット上でリアルタイムの群衆密度ヒートマップを生成した。クアルコムのサンディエゴキャンパスで行われた2回目の実証実験では、両社は100~400MHzのミリ波周波数帯と4つの同期送受信ポイントを使用し、飛行中のドローンと移動する地上車両を追跡しながら、地上のスマートフォンユーザーへの5Gスタンドアロン通信を途切れることなく維持した。ベライゾンはまた、ベライゾン・エッジ・ネットワーク上で動作するAIスポーツコンパニオンアプリのプロトタイプを披露した。これはメタAIグラス、ローカルに最適化された小型言語モデル、エヌビディアDGX Spark、SportsDataIOの統計データを組み合わせたもので、ユーザーは音声でリアルタイムの選手統計、ライブスコアの解釈、勝利確率を尋ねることができる。ベライゾンによると、フォーラムのメンバーはISAC、デジタルツイン、ロボティクス、AI、先進ウェアラブルを含む今後のデモンストレーションから得られた知見を引き続き共有していく。同社は、2028年ロサンゼルス夏季オリンピックを、商用6G展開に向けた最終的な中間実証の場と位置付けており、開催都市にすでに設立した専用の6Gラボがこれを支援する。
