IT giant Tech Mahindra signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with SynaXG for the development of AI radio access network (AI-RAN) solutions.

The partnership will see Tech Mahindra's services portfolio leverage SynaXG's RAN software stack, AI-RAN intelligence suite, and hyperconverged wireless architecture to usher in enterprise transition toward AI-native 5G-Advanced and 6G networks. The two firms will collaborate on co-innovation, integration, and commercialization of AI-driven RAN solutions designed to enhance network performance, spectrum efficiency, and energy usage, while enabling real-time intelligence and closed-loop automation throughout the network lifecycle.

The deal also aims to accelerate the adoption of open, modular, and interoperable wireless architectures across both public and private network environments.

SynaXG will add Tech Mahindra to a growing partner list, which includes Red Hat and Orex Sai. Last month saw the Singapore-based RAN firm partner with both companies on implementations of unified cloud-native platform AI-RAN. The deployment was part of the so-called Aura project, where SynaXG claimed a significant milestone in the evolution toward AI-native, 6G-ready networks.

"AI-RAN represents a fundamental shift in how wireless networks are designed, deployed, and operated," SynaXG Chief Business Officer Mantosh Malhotra, explained in a statement. "Working with Tech Mahindra allows us to bring AI-native RAN technology to market through a globally proven integration and deployment ecosystem. Together, we aim to accelerate the transition to intelligent, energy-efficient, and open wireless networks across both operator and enterprise environments."
