Transforming Connectivity: Singtel Enhances 5G Enterprise Services with NVIDIA AI Enterprise

Singtel developed their MEC platform so their customers can innovate with business-critical AI applications, including real-time video analytics, AR/VR, and chatbots. These workloads require very low-latency performance and high bandwidth. MEC allows customers to run their compute-intensive AI applications at the edge to provide the necessary experience to the end user.

Singtel’s MEC platform includes NVIDIA T4 Tensor Core and A40 GPUs, and NVIDIA AI Enterprise, the end-to-end software layer of NVIDIA’s AI platform, to provide the performance and reliability needed to enable AI applications across their 5G network.

To support mission-critical applications on the edge, Singtel collaborated with NVIDIA to leverage the power of NVIDIA GPUs to run AI workloads and graphics processing on the MEC. To handle multiple concurrent users, Singtel turned to GPU virtualization with NVIDIA AI Enterprise to effectively share GPU resources across a broad range of AI applications.

With over 100 frameworks, pretrained models, and development tools, NVIDIA AI Enterprise enabled Singtel to quickly develop and test a broad range of AI applications and use cases across their 5G network. As Singtel was evaluating NVIDIA AI Enterprise, they leveraged NVIDIA Riva, a fully customizable, multilingual speech and translation AI SDK, and NeMo to create an AI chatbot demo. As Singtel’s customers move from pilot to production, the collaboration between Singtel and NVIDIA becomes critical because it allows customers to utilize NVIDIA’s AI Enterprise software and AI expertise, and Singtel’s 5G network and Paragon Platform.
