Samsung Electronics on the 13th (local time) hosted the Silicon Valley Future Networks Summit 2025 in Mountain View, Silicon Valley, United States.
At the event, held under the theme "New possibilities unlocked by artificial intelligence (AI) networks," the company shared results from developing "AI-Native" technologies applied to communications systems and showcased sixth-generation (6G) communications technology. About 100 communications experts attended, including leaders from major global mobile carriers, manufacturers, government agencies, and academia.
The event featured sessions on ▲ AI-based new services ▲ AI wireless technology innovation ▲ AI network innovation. In the "AI-based new services" session, participants discussed the feasibility of new wireless network services using AI technologies such as ▲ Augmented Reality (AR) · Extended Reality (XR) ▲ integrated sensing and communications (ISAC).
The "AI wireless technology innovation" session covered the latest developments in AI-RAN—an AI-native wireless network (a technology that combines AI with the radio access network), a core technology for 6G Network—as well as optimization of wireless network performance through AI.
The "AI network innovation" session discussed the various impacts of AI-native communications technologies on fixed and mobile networks and servers. It also shared cases where AI is used for ▲ network automation ▲ resource management optimization ▲ predictive maintenance, maximizing the efficiency of network operations. In addition, Samsung Electronics and its partners conducted demonstrations of AI-RAN technology jointly developed and validated.
Samsung Electronics is expanding cooperation on communications technologies based on 6G and AI with a range of global partners, including mobile carriers, research institutes, and industry consortia. Early this year, to improve the quality of future communications networks such as 6G, it began collaborating with domestic mobile carriers as well as SoftBank and KDDI Research in Japan. It is also participating in the global consortium "Verizon Communications Inc. 6G Innovation Forum."
Jeong Jin-guk, head of the Next-Generation Communications Research Center at Samsung Research, Samsung Electronics (executive vice president), said, "Samsung Electronics is focused on integrating AI into communications systems to maximize user experience and network operational efficiency," adding, "We will continue to expand cooperation with the communications industry and make ongoing efforts to advance next-generation communications technologies."
