HFR Begins Full Development of GPU Based AI-RAN for 6G with ETRI

May 08, 2026
HFR has started full development of GPU based AI-RAN technology for 6G in collaboration with South Korea's ETRI, focusing on integrating AI and radio access network functions for improved efficiency and latency.

HFR has begun full development of its GPU based AI-RAN technology for 6G communications in collaboration with ETRI, according to a press release. The company is participating in the AI-RAN Global Leading Project led by ETRI, which aims to build an integrated research platform connecting virtual and real network environments.

The platform will include AI-RAN software, a virtual network system, and a test network with real base stations. HFR is developing GPU based AI-RAN software that can process both radio access network functions and AI workloads simultaneously, improving network efficiency and reducing latency.

This approach replaces traditional communication specific chips with GPU architectures to handle large volumes of telecom signals and AI inference directly at the base station. The technology is designed to support real time AI training and inference, manage high frequency 6G environments, and enable distributed edge computing closer to users.

HFR stated that through cooperation with research institutes and global telecom partners, it plans to strengthen its capabilities in core 6G services such as connected vehicle communications and expand its position in the telecommunications equipment market.
