On September 12, 2025, AsiaInfo Technologies, in collaboration with Intel, Institute for AI Industry Research Tsinghua University (AIR), Poly U Academy for Artificial Intelligence and IEEE, officially released the Chinese and English versions of the White Paper on AI-RAN Commercial Outlook for Vertical Industries (hereinafter referred to as the "White Paper")! This White Paper has been included in the academic website arXiv.
As the world's first report to systematically comb the commercial feasibility of Private AI-RAN, the White Paper not only comprehensively elaborates on the strategic value of Private AI-RAN as the optimal path for enterprise network modernization, but also focuses on typical scenarios of vertical industries. Through pioneering quantitative modeling and cost-benefit analysis, its commercial feasibility is scientifically validated, providing critical references for the development of vertical industries.

Why now?
Currently, AI technology is accelerating its integration into enterprise business scenarios. Enterprises' demands for network have now far exceeded the traditional standard of "low latency, high bandwidth, and massive connectivity," shifting toward a rigid need for "native data, computing power and intelligent collaboration". The traditional RAN architecture is difficult to support this shift in demands. The emergence of AI-RAN (Artificial Intelligence for Radio Access Network) represents not merely a technological upgrade, but a fundamental transformation that integrates AI capabilities throughout the entire radio access network process. This convergence of "communication + sensing + computing power + intelligence" has become an important direction for the restructuring of global network infrastructure.
Three highlights of the White Paper
Clear strategic positioning: AI-RAN integrates communication, sensing, computing power and intelligence, serving as the core evolution path for 6G and highly aligning with the trends of "new infrastructure initiatives" and "green and low-carbon development".
Quantitative validation for commercial feasibility: A pioneering scenario-driven quantitative modeling approach is adopted to conduct measurements across multiple dimensions, including CapEx (Capital Expenditure), OpEx (Operational Expenditure) and TCO (Total Cost of Ownership). In typical scenarios, Private AI-RAN deployment demonstrates significant TCO advantages, substantially reducing both investment and operation/maintenance costs compared to Legacy 3GPP RAN solution.
Focusing on vertical industry scenarios: It focuses on five typical scenarios—Intelligent Park, Intelligent Mine, Intelligent Nuclear Power, Intelligent Photovoltaic, and Intelligent Factory—leveraging real project cases, authoritative data, and expert calibration to demonstrate the unique value and commercial feasibility after the in-depth integration of communication, sensing, computing power and intelligence.
Strategic significance: Core foundation of enterprises' digital intelligence upgrading
It is worth mentioning that as early as January 10, 2025, AsiaInfo Technologies had formally joined the AI-RAN Alliance, assisting the alliance in building more intelligent, efficient, and flexible network infrastructure. The White Paper further highlights that Private AI-RAN is not only a solution for reducing cost and improving efficiency, but also a strategic cornerstone for enterprises to build differentiated competitiveness during their digital intelligence transformation. It promotes network from being "connectivity infrastructure" to evolving into an "intelligent foundation", enabling enterprises to achieve breakthrough in automation, intelligent upgrade and the exploration of new business model, thereby providing momentum for advancing into the AI-powered 6G era. The White Paper not only reflects AsiaInfo Technologies' deep insight into industry trends, but also represents a significant move to lead the evolution of future digital intelligence infrastructure.
AsiaInfo Technologies' AI-RAN product solution integrating communication, sensing, computing and intelligence
The "Combined Solution Integrating Communication, Sensing, Computing and Intelligence" first unveiled by AsiaInfo Technologies in the industry focuses on the deep integration between communication connectivity, target sensing, basic computing, and native AI, with the aim to promote the development of 5G-A/6G network and meet the business demands of customers. This solution is innovatively featured by lossless network communication, virtualization of base station computing power, lightweight edge-specific LLM, and unified scheduling of communication and computing resources, providing the customers with comprehensive capabilities integrating connectivity, sensing, computing and artificial intelligence.
