WNC Joins AI-RAN Ecosystem Built on NVIDIA AI Aerial, Accelerating AI-native 
5G-Advanced and 6G Innovations
To meet the demands of next-generation AI-driven mobile communications, WNC is developing AI RAN, 5G Advanced and 6G technologies. Debuting at MWC 2026, WNC’s AI-optimized indoor/outdoor O-RU—certified to Taiwan TAICS and designed to meet U.S. FIPS 140-3 Level 2 security standards—is integrated with NVIDIA Aerial Testbed (ARC-OTA) Release 1.7. Built to O-RAN specifications and engineered for high compatibility and flexible deployment, the O-RU supports 5G-Advanced/6G Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) use cases and is optimized for NVIDIA CUDA-based AI-RAN architecture. Going forward, WNC will continue to implement CUDA-based RAN architecture in compact edge AI server platforms. WNC is working with NVIDIA to accelerate 6G innovations through power-efficient, software-defined AI-RAN, enabled by NVIDIA AI Aerial.
 

AI-driven Smart Home Upgrades — Creating a Safe and Convenient Living Experience 
WNC has developed Wi-Fi 8 routers, gateways, and extenders, and was the first company to introduce a 5G Release 18 FWA solution that incorporates Wi-Fi 8 technology, helping provide a smooth experience when using applications that require high speed networks. Edge AI is a key focus for WNC, and the company has developed a proprietary AI Engine for broadband routers that can identify client devices and network packets, analyze network status for end users, and intelligently allocate bandwidth resources in real time to ensure smooth and reliable connectivity. In addition, by using AIoT technologies, large language models can be integrated into the AI Engine to unlock more possibilities for smart home and communications applications.
For smart home solutions, WNC has rolled out an AI STB and AI IP camera. The STB is capable of translating multi-language audio into subtitles in real time, and its offline voice assistant enables users to conduct device setup and troubleshooting through voice commands without requiring internet access. Engineered for incident detection and instant alerts, the AI IP camera elevates both home safety and convenience.

Optical Switches and PQC Modules Designed for AI Data Centers and Information Security 
To meet the high-speed computing needs of AI data centers, WNC has introduced an optical circuit switch solution. By bypassing optical-to-electrical conversion, this solution reduces power consumption by over 95% while delivering ultra-low latency and synchronization among GPUs. In addition, it significantly reduces equipment upgrade costs, enabling businesses to establish high performance and low power consumption infrastructure for next-generation AI. Additionally, WNC has collaborated with strategic partners to roll out an industry-leading PQC solution. By leveraging the truly random quantum properties of photons along with WNC’s proprietary acceleration technologies, this NIST-certified encryption and decryption solution is ideal for high-speed, high-capacity data centers, cloud services, and telecom/enterprise servers. The solution empowers businesses to future-proof their infrastructure against fast emerging quantum compute threats while meeting the performance demands of large-scale deployments.
