Nokia demos AI‑powered 6G receiver at Brooklyn 6G Summit, promising 10–25% uplink gains and reuse of existing 5G sites

On the final day of the Brooklyn 6G Summit—co‑hosted by Nokia and NYU WIRELESS—Nokia highlighted HybridDeepRx, an AI‑enabled receiver designed to improve 6G coverage without a wholesale rebuild of cell sites.

Those improvements, if carried into products, could allow 6G to ride on existing 5G sites, cutting coverage‑driven capex. Telecom Review Asia
