Good morning from Incheon! Going to be an interesting full week of discussion around what 6G will be! @deepsignl's first major #3GPP #6G contributions around AI in the air interface! We're highlighting some of the same technologies demonstrated with @nvidia last week and highlighted by light reading lightreading.com/ai-machine-… – at Ongjin-gun, Republic of Korea

Every @nokia gNB, a sensor. At #NokiaRadioWorld in Oulu this week, DeepSig showed #OmniSIG running as a dApp inside the Nokia AI-RAN DU, turning the radio network into a nationwide sensor for drones, jammers, GNSS spoofers, and rogue emitters. Governments are asking operators a simple question: what can your network see? The gNB is the best-placed RF sensor ever deployed. It just never ran sensing software. #OmniSIG changes that by using the fronthaul IQ the DU already receives, with unmodified radios and no changes to L1/L2. Because it sees the full RU passband, it also catches threats next to the carrier, not just inside it. A huge thank you to the Nokia team for hosting us in Oulu and for the partnership that made this demo possible. Working alongside your engineers to bring sensing into the AI-RAN DU has been a real privilege, and we're grateful for your openness, collaboration, and shared vision for what the network can do. If you missed the demo in Oulu, reach out at [email protected] to learn more. #AIRAN #5G #6G #SpectrumAwareness #CounterUAS

19 operators signed up for initial deployments starting later this year. 20% downlink spectral efficiency demonstrated Multiple AI-native app partners including @pulsone, @ZaiNarTech, and @deepsignl Radio Networks that can sense, plan, and, act. AI is here for radio networks and @Nokia and @Nvidia are bringing it to the world first.
AI-RAN momentum is accelerating. Operators including @TA_Group, @ChunghwaTelecom, @dutweets, @eAndGroup, @Mobily, @stc_ksa, @TPG_Telecom, and @ZainKSA are advancing AI-RAN initiatives with Nokia and @nvidia as the industry moves toward AI-native 6G. While trials with operators previously announced, including @docomo, continue to progress steadily 🚀 Read the full Press Release: nokia.ly/4rciDSq #AIRAN #AI #6G

The fastest part of the 5G radio, now open to #AI. 🚀 Thousands of times a second, a base station decides how to decode signals, share capacity, and adapt to changing conditions. Until now, those real-time decisions have been locked inside each vendor's system. The #OCUDU AI-RAN Working Group released an open-source preview of the OCUDU dApp platform. Any developer can now bring AI directly into those decisions, safely and in real time. Why it matters: -Smarter, more reliable networks driven by AI where it counts most -Built-in safeguards, so the network keeps running even if an AI app fails -An open, multi-vendor ecosystem for AI-RAN innovation This isn't just a simulation. We ran it on a live 5G cell with commercial phones. It's all open source. Build on it, test it, and help shape where AI and the radio meet.

We spent the #SuperBowl on the ground alongside the FCC and local authorities, supporting safety and spectrum awareness in one of the year’s most complex RF environments. From identifying sources of interference to providing real-time visibility into RF activity, #OmniSIG helped bring clarity and context to a highly congested setting where public safety operations depend on reliable communications.

IEEE 802.11 is the global standards body behind Wi-Fi. DeepSig’s Jim Lansford chairs the Wireless Next Generation (WNG) Standing Committee, the incubator for future Wi-Fi standards. At last week’s IEEE 802.11 meeting in Victoria, BC, WNG reviewed 11 technical presentations on the challenges shaping next-gen WLAN, often referred to as Wi-Fi 9. Dr. Lansford and CTO @oshtim presented how AI-Native techniques already used in 5G/6G can be applied to Wi-Fi to improve robustness and throughput in high-interference, congested environments. WNG work continues through 2026, with a formal study group expected in the second half of the year and Wi-Fi 9 development starting in 2027. DeepSig is proud to help lead AI-Native innovation for the future of Wi-Fi and #6G.

Our latest blog, authored by Co-Founder and CTO @oshtim explores a fundamental redesign of how #wireless systems operate. For decades, air interfaces have been constrained by fixed modulation schemes and reference structures that cannot fully adapt to the complexity of real-world environments. The future is different.
