Tampnet has rolled out the world’s first fully autonomous private 5G network with Edge Compute offshore for Aker BP’s Edvard Grieg platform. This digital backbone provides real-time data processing, robust wireless coverage, and supports advanced offshore operations like autonomous drones, robotics, and predictive maintenance, setting a new standard for offshore oil and gas connectivity.
India’s Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has relaunched its plan to directly allocate spectrum for private 5G networks. The new demand study invites large enterprises and system integrators to signal interest in dedicated spectrum for captive 5G setups. If approved, this policy could enable Indian industries to run secure, high-speed networks without fully relying on telecom operators.
2025 has seen major telecom and tech M&A activity, including billion-dollar deals in fiber, AI, cloud, and cybersecurity. This monthly tracker details key acquisitions, like AT&T buying Lumen’s fiber assets and Google’s $32B move for Wiz, highlighting how consolidation is shaping the competitive landscape.
Digital Catapult, a deep tech innovation organisation, has today announced its accreditation as the only European Open Testing and Integration Centre (OTIC) in the UK awarded by the O-RAN ALLIANCE. The accreditation recognises Digital Catapult’s world-class capabilities in testing, validating and integrating open and interoperable radio access network (Open RAN) technologies, and its aim to advance the development and deployment of open and future networks.
