Ericsson deploys Neutral Host 5G Small Cells at 10 World Trade

Ericsson deploys Neutral Host 5G Small Cells at 10 World Trade
A new neutral host 5G deployment at 10 World Trade in Boston’s Seaport sets a practical blueprint for scalable, multi-operator indoor connectivity in Class A commercial real estate. Most mobile traffic is generated indoors, yet macro networks struggle to penetrate dense, energy-efficient buildings. The 10 World Trade deployment—delivered by Boston Global Investors (BGI) with Aspen Venue Partners and Ericsson - addresses all three pressures with a small-cell-based, neutral host design that multiple operators can share while also supporting private 5G and future network slicing. The model aligns with broader industry trends: 3GPP-based indoor systems, shared infrastructure economics, and spectrum agility that includes CBRS in the U.S.

SoftBank Sells Nvidia Stake to Fund AI Infrastructure Bets

SoftBank Sells Nvidia Stake to Fund AI Infrastructure Bets
SoftBank has exited Nvidia and is redirecting billions into AI platforms and infrastructure, signaling where it believes the next phase of value will concentrate. SoftBank sold its remaining 32.1 million Nvidia shares in October for approximately $5.83 billion, and also disclosed a separate $9.17 billion sale of T-Mobile US shares as part of a broader reallocation into artificial intelligence. The proceeds are earmarked for a significant expansion of SoftBank’s AI portfolio, including a major investment in OpenAI and potential participation in “Stargate,” a next-generation AI data center initiative co-developed by OpenAI and Oracle. Despite exiting Nvidia’s equity, SoftBank retains about 90% ownership of Arm.

Jio Prepaid Plans November 2025: AI, OTT, 5G Bundles

Jio 5G Nears 50% of Mobile Base
Reliance Jio’s six-plan lineup for November 2025 blends low entry pricing with AI, cloud, and OTT hooks, signaling how prepaid is evolving from pure connectivity to service-led bundles. Starting at Rs 189, Jio is segmenting prepaid users by usage intensity (voice-first, balanced data, and long-validity) while nudging them into its digital stack: JioTV for content, JioAICloud for storage, and on select offers, Google Gemini Pro for AI. As 5G coverage and usage expand, Jio’s add-ons are designed to create reasons to stay on-network and upgrade. AI benefits in prepaid are rare globally; anchoring them to eligibility criteria and higher-tier 5G plans suggests an upsell path that can improve monetization without headline tariff hikes.

SK Telecom executive cuts: 30% reduction

SK Telecom executive cuts: 30% reduction
Reports indicate SK Group will reduce executive ranks by up to 30%, a move that would reshape decision-making across affiliates including SK Telecom (SKT). For SKT, which sits at the nexus of the group’s AI, cloud, and connectivity ambitions, executive trims would concentrate authority and compress approval chains at a sensitive time for 5G monetization and AI platform bets. Executive consolidation at a Tier-1 operator tends to reset priorities, procurement rhythms, and partner engagement models.

BT and Starlink LEO Broadband for Rural UK Homes

BT and Starlink LEO Broadband for Rural UK Homes
BT Group and its consumer brand EE plan to offer a Starlink-powered home broadband product focused on underserved locations where fixed-line build is constrained by terrain, sparsity, or cost. The service targets “ultrafast” downlink performance, with Starlink capable of delivering up to roughly 280 Mbps and latency in the low tens of milliseconds. Commercial availability is slated for the second half of 2026, giving BT time to industrialise ordering, installation, support, and integration into its existing product catalogue and systems. LEO fills the last 1–5% gap where full fibre is slow or uneconomic to reach.

BT job cuts as Openreach loses broadband customers

BT job cuts as Openreach loses broadband customers
BT is pressing ahead with cost-cutting as it confronts sharper broadband competition, softer device demand, and structural declines in legacy services. BT reduced its total workforce by about 6% in the first half of its financial year, down to roughly 111,000 employees from 116,000 at the start of the period. The group reported around £250 million in additional annualized cost savings, bringing cumulative savings to about £1.2 billion across the first 18 months of the program and reaffirming a target of £3 billion in annual savings. Group revenue for the six months to September 30 declined about 3% year over year to £9.8 billion. Openreach’s broadband base contracted, with approximately 242,000 fewer broadband customers in Q2 FY25.

5G FWA for MDUs: New Broadband Forum Spec

5G FWA for MDUs: New Broadband Forum Spec
A fresh technical report from Broadband Forum details how a single outdoor 5G Fixed Wireless Access connection can deliver gigabit broadband to multiple apartments by reusing a building’s existing wiring. The document defines an architecture where one high-capacity 5G FWA modem—preferably operating on mmWave (3GPP FR2, roughly 24–40 GHz)—is installed on the roof or exterior of a multi‑dwelling unit (MDU) and then shared across many tenants. Instead of running new fiber to every unit, the approach leverages in‑place infrastructure such as coaxial cabling, twisted pair, or legacy telephone wiring to distribute service from a centralized point (attic, basement, or telecom closet) to apartments.
