## Summary

NVIDIA says researchers are using its open-source Aerial and Sionna tools to build 6G-ready networks, with developer adoption up 10x and over 1 million downloads of its 5G/6G tools. The projects include a King's College London setup that cut robot task completion time by up to 52.6% and a University of Leeds system that reported a 45.6% reduction in RAN power consumption.
