Taipei, June 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LITEON Technology announced a major milestone in AI-RAN innovation at COMPUTEX 2026 through collaboration with Singapore University of Technology (SUTD) and SUTD spin-off company NeuroRAN. The joint demonstration will show how AI can be natively integrated into 5G radio access networks (RANs), enabling real-time, privacy-preserving, and energy-efficient edge AI applications.
At the core of the solution is dynamic AI model segmentation. LITEON will provide high-performance O-RUs (radio units) integrated with AI-RAN infrastructure, while SUTD will develop AI applications leveraging advanced deep learning models such as Swin Transformer for real-time video object detection. The solution runs on NVIDIA AI Infrastructure and integrates NVIDIA AI Aerial software with high-performance computing to tightly integrate AI with 5G networks.
A key innovation is the use of AI-driven spectrum sensing to inform decisions to dynamically distribute AI workloads between user equipment (UE) and edge/cloud environments based on real-time network conditions. Compared to traditional fixed partitioning, this approach significantly reduces latency, optimizes energy consumption, and ensures that sensitive data remains on-device, enhancing both privacy and performance.
The demonstration also integrates distributed UPF (dUPF) and 5G core networks to further reduce end-to-end latency and enhance edge AI deployment capabilities for real-world applications such as smart cities, intelligent surveillance, and industrial automation.
Richard Chiang, general manager of LITEON’s Smart Life Application Strategy Business Unit, said: “Through our collaboration with SUTD and NeuroRAN, we are accelerating AI-RAN from our vision. to Commercialization. By combining LITEON’s expertise in O-RAN and wireless infrastructure with advanced NVIDIA AI platforms and applications, we aim to provide carriers and enterprises with more flexible and efficient network architectures. ”
Chen Bin Bin, Associate Professor at SUTD and Deputy Director of the Future Communications Research and Development Program (FCP), said, “SUTD and our spin-off company NeuroRAN are excited to partner with LITEON in the development of this cutting-edge AI-RAN demonstration. This shows how intelligent 5G networks can play a key role in enabling new physical AI use cases.”
LITEON continues to expand its AI-RAN ecosystem partnerships to accelerate the deployment of real-time AI applications. In addition to commercializing AI-RAN, LITEON plans to provide carriers with a flexible AI development environment powered by the NVIDIA DGX Spark platform, enabling carriers to accelerate research, validation, and deployment of next-generation edge AI applications and services. By leveraging DGX Spark for AI model development and small-scale testing, carriers can quickly prototype innovative AI-powered use cases before scaling across commercial 5G and future network infrastructure.
