Private 5G for Croatia’s Smart Airports | Hrvatski Telekom
Hrvatski Telekom will deploy dedicated private 5G networks at Zagreb, Zadar, and Pula airports under a €5.6 million “NextGen 5G Airports” program co-financed by the European Commission’s CEF Digital initiative. The project was selected in a competitive CEF Digital call focused on 5G and edge for smart communities, with €3.09 million in EU grant funding and the remainder financed by Hrvatski Telekom and partners. The program targets operational efficiency, safety, and a better passenger experience through dedicated, configurable, and SLA-backed wireless infrastructure. Edge computing on or near the airport premises will enable low-latency processing for video, safety systems, and time-sensitive control.

Vodafone boosts power resilience at 10,000+ emergency mobile sites

Vodafone boosts power resilience at 10,000+ emergency mobile sites
Vodafone is accelerating a multi-year resilience programme to keep emergency and critical services online during grid failures, an issue that is moving from rare-event planning to board-level risk management. In response, Vodafone fast-tracked its Enhanced Power initiative to harden more than 10,000 critical mobile access sites across Europe over the next two years, starting in Portugal. The system uses AI to predict outages, throttle non-essential loads, and place selected radio elements into low-energy modes, preserving channels for emergency calls, SMS, and priority users. More than 400 core and backbone facilities in the EU are provisioned with batteries and diesel generators for at least 72 hours of backup or guaranteed refueling within 48 hours.

Skyfora & LMT 5G GNSS Weather Sensor Grid in Latvia

5G GNSS Weather Sensor Grid in Latvia
Skyfora and LMT demonstrated a real-time, kilometer-scale GNSS meteorology grid running on LMT’s 5G network at NATO’s Digital Backbone Experimentation (DiBaX), signaling a new class of “network-as-a-sensor” capability for Europe. At DiBaX in Latvia, LMT’s 5G sites equipped with Skyfora’s Weather Engine streamed continuous atmospheric measurements derived from small, measurable delays in GNSS signals as they traverse humid air. The result was a rapid-update observation grid delivering near real-time insights into the evolution of storms, extreme rainfall, flood risk, and heat stress across large areas, without deploying new physical weather stations.

Nvidia open AI models for autonomous driving

Nvidia open AI models for autonomous driving
Nvidia used NeurIPS to expand an open toolkit for digital and physical AI, with a flagship reasoning model for autonomous driving and a broader stack that targets speech, safety, and reinforcement learning. Nvidia introduced DRIVE Alpamayo-R1 (AR1), an open vision-language-action model that fuses multimodal perception with chain-of-thought reasoning and path planning, aiming to push toward Level 4 autonomy in constrained domains. To lower adoption friction, Nvidia published the Cosmos Cookbook with step-by-step recipes for data curation, synthetic data generation, inference, and post-training workflows, enabling customization for diverse physical AI use cases.

Deutsche Telekom & Schwarz plan EU-backed AI data centre in Germany

Deutsche Telekom & Schwarz plan EU-backed AI data centre in Germany
Two German heavyweights are in advanced discussions to co-build large-scale AI data centre capacity in Germany, a move that would tap European Union funding and accelerate sovereign AI infrastructure. Deutsche Telekom and the Schwarz Group are exploring a joint bid to develop EU-supported “AI Gigafactory” facilities, data centres purpose-built for high-density AI training and inference. According to multiple reports, the talks are well progressed but not yet final. Infrastructure investor Brookfield has been flagged as a potential financial partner alongside EU capital, adding balance-sheet depth and construction expertise to the consortium.

The Future of Telecom B2B: From Connectivity Providers to Intelligent Digital Ecosystem Enablers

The global telecom B2B landscape is undergoing a fundamental shift driven by AI, automation, private 5G networks, and cloud-native architectures.

AWS invests $50B in federal AI infrastructure

AWS invests $50B in federal AI infrastructure
Amazon Web Services plans a sweeping expansion of classified and government cloud capacity to accelerate AI and high‑performance computing for U.S. agencies. AWS will invest up to $50 billion starting in 2026 to deliver purpose‑built AI and HPC infrastructure for federal customers. The buildout spans AWS Top Secret, AWS Secret, and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. The expansion is designed to compress analysis timelines and enable AI‑assisted workflows across national security and civil missions. AWS is making a generational bet that AI and HPC, delivered inside accredited government regions at massive scale, will redefine how federal missions operate.

India 6 GHz Spectrum: Wi‑Fi vs IMT Showdown

SPECTRUM CONTROVERSY THE ROLE OF THE 6 GHZ BAND IN INDIA’S TELECOMMUNICATIONS FUTURE
A high-stakes policy fight has emerged in India over the 6 GHz band, pitting global device and cloud ecosystems against mobile operators over whether the band should power unlicensed Wi‑Fi or licensed mobile (IMT) networks. Apple, Amazon, Cisco, Meta, HP, and Intel have jointly urged India’s regulator, TRAI, to reserve the full 6 GHz range for Wi‑Fi, arguing the band is not technically or commercially ready for IMT and that unlicensed use will deliver immediate, widespread capacity benefits. Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel, and Vodafone Idea have countered that delicensing upper 6 GHz would permanently foreclose India’s option to deploy wide‑area licensed broadband in prime mid‑band spectrum.

Nokia invests $4B in AI-ready US networks

Nokia Shifts Focus to AI and Network Infrastructure
Nokia is making a multi‑year, $4 billion push to expand US R&D and manufacturing as it pivots to AI‑native networks under CEO Justin Hotard. The company will invest roughly $3.5 billion in US‑based R&D spanning networking technologies, defense applications, automation, quantum‑safe networking, and semiconductor development. A further $500 million targets manufacturing and R&D expansion in Texas, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, strengthening domestic supply chains for critical telecom gear. The plan follows Nokia’s strategy revamp and creation of a Mobile Infrastructure unit to advance an AI‑native network portfolio across RAN, transport, IP, and cloud.

6G Spectrum: Why Mid-Band Decisions Can’t Wait

6G Spectrum: Why Mid-Band Decisions Can’t Wait
Policy choices over the next two years will set the capacity ceiling for 6G-era services through the 2030s. Mobile traffic is overwhelmingly urban, concentrated in a small fraction of national land areas and rising fastest in very dense zones. The GSMA’s new Vision 2040 analysis concludes these levers will not keep pace with demand growth on their own. The modeling indicates countries will need, on average, 2–3 GHz of total mid-band assigned for mobile by 2035–2040 to meet peak urban demand; higher-demand markets trend toward 2.5–4 GHz. Crucially, about 2 GHz needs to be operational by 2030 to avoid early congestion as 6G arrives.

Ericsson Mobility Report: differentiated 5G connectivity

Ericsson Mobility Report: differentiated 5G connectivity
Ericsson’s latest Mobility Report points to a clear shift: operators are turning 5G capabilities into differentiated, SLA-backed services rather than just selling more data at higher speeds. After years of building coverage and capacity, 5G networks are mature enough to commercialize features like guaranteed latency, uplink boosts, and application-aware prioritization. The catalysts are in place: more 5G Standalone (SA) cores, rising traffic from video creation and immersive apps, and enterprise demand for predictable performance across sites and clouds. The net result is momentum behind premium, differentiated connectivity that can be priced, assured, and exposed to partners.
