Quanta Cloud Technology (QCT) has announced the QuantaEdge EGN77C-2U at Mobile World Congress 2026 in Barcelona, positioning it as an AI-RAN server that combines the NVIDIA Aerial RAN Computer Pro (NVIDIA ARC-Pro) platform with Nokia’s anyRAN approach. QCT says the goal is to run AI and radio access network (RAN) functions on software-defined infrastructure to support AI-native 5G and future 6G deployments.
The QuantaEdge EGN77C-2U is a 2U2N platform. Per node, QCT says it integrates one 72-core NVIDIA Grace CPU, up to 512 GB LPDDR5X memory, NVIDIA ConnectX-8 Ethernet SuperNICs, and network I/O of 16 × 25 GbE plus two × 400 GbE, along with one NVIDIA RTX PRO GPU.
QCT says the system aligns with the NVIDIA AI Aerial reference architecture, with NVIDIA ARC-Pro supporting inline GPU-accelerated RAN processing. QCT claims this enables “improved spectral efficiency” and “lower latency,” and targets “real-world cell-site deployments” in a compact, telco-grade form factor. QCT also reports that Nokia will accelerate availability of its five G and six G RAN software on the NVIDIA CUDA platform, with NVIDIA ARC-Pro as the core of its AI-RAN solution.
QCT also detailed additional NVIDIA-accelerated systems it is showing at the event: a QCT AI-RAN Solution “delivered using QCT servers” powered by NVIDIA Aerial RAN Computers (ARC) for enterprise deployment; an AI-on-RAN Orchestration demo focused on AI inference on RAN infrastructure accelerated by the NVIDIA GH200 Grace Hopper platform; and QCT AI POD, a pre-configured cluster-level platform with compute, storage, networking, and management that supports NVIDIA Quantum InfiniBand and NVIDIA Spectrum Ethernet networking with NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPUs, and integrates with NVIDIA AI Enterprise.
“The future of wireless connectivity requires a clear path to software-defined, AI-native networks that can efficiently handle the exponential growth of data and AI workloads,” said Soma Velayutham, VP of AI and Telecoms, NVIDIA. “Industry leaders like QCT and Nokia are leveraging the NVIDIA ARC-Pro platform to provide operators with a powerful, flexible architecture to accelerate their transition to 6G.”
