Humanoid Robot Games: 5G-Advanced and AI in China

Humanoid Robot Games: 5G-Advanced and AI in China
Beijing’s first World Humanoid Robot Games is more than a spectacle. It is a live systems trial for embodied AI, connectivity, and edge operations at scale. Over three days at the Beijing National Speed Skating Oval, more than 500 humanoid robots from roughly 280 teams representing 16 countries are competing in 26 events that span athletics and applied tasks, from soccer and boxing to medicine sorting and venue cleanup. The games double as a staging ground for 5G-Advanced (5G-A) capabilities designed for uplink-intensive, low-latency, high-reliability robotics traffic. Indoors, a digital system with 300 MHz of spectrum delivers multi-Gbps peaks and sustains uplink above 100 Mbps.

CBRS Refarming: Why It Hurts Private Networks

What Is CBRS? How Shared Spectrum Is Reshaping Wireless in the U.S.
More than $14 billion has been invested across the CBRS stacklicenses, RAN, devices, infrastructure, sensors, and software. Over 420,000 CBRS radio nodes (CBSDs) are in service. The device ecosystem is broad: Apple and Samsung ship n48-capable handsets; industrial and FWA suppliers support n48 CPEs and routers; Ericsson, Nokia, Samsung, JMA Wireless and others provide radio and DAS. This is not a pilot; it is production infrastructure. Refarming would force replacement or retuning of hundreds of thousands of base stations and millions of end devices, plus upgrades to SAS integrations and enterprise control planes.

Korean Telecoms Launch 300B-Won AI & Semiconductor Fund
South Korea’s government and its three national carriers are aligning fresh capital to speed AI and semiconductor competitiveness and to anchor a private-led innovation flywheel. SK Telecom, KT, and LG Uplus will seed a new pool exceeding 300 billion won (about $219 million) via the Korea IT Fund (KIF) to back core and foundational AI, AI transformation (AX), and commercialization in ICT. KIF, formed in 2002 by the carriers, will receive 150 billion won in new commitments, matched by at least an equal amount from external fund managers. The platforms lifespan has been extended to 2040 to sustain long-cycle bets.

Rohde & Schwarz and Taiwan Space Agency deliver a dual-function satellite test chamber
A new joint solution from Rohde & Schwarz (R&S) and the Taiwan Space Agency (TASA) consolidates electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and antenna measurements into a single, production-grade test chamber, signaling a shift in how satellite payloads will be validated for Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) and mission-critical services. By integrating both disciplines in one chamber, TASA can validate RF performance, emissions, and immunity under consistent test conditions and configurations, improving time-to-launch and de-risking interoperability with terrestrial networks. The TASA deployment combines R&S hardware, software, and engineering with a locally built Compact Antenna Test Range (CATR) reflector to achieve dual-mode EMC and antenna measurements in one chamber.

COAI Opposes Direct Spectrum Allocation for Private 5G in India

India’s DoT Reopens Doors for Direct Spectrum Allocation for Private 5G Networks
The Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI), representing Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel, and Vodafone Idea, is pushing back against direct 5G spectrum allocation for enterprises. COAI argues that India’s urban coverage, revenue priorities, and national security risks make an operator-led model via spectrum leasing or network slicing, more viable. The Department of Telecommunications is reviewing TRAI’s recommendation, with the decision set to shape India’s private 5G market for years.
