Boldyn and Apeiroon fast-track portable private 5G modules

Boldyn and Apeiroon fast-track portable private 5G modules
Defense, public safety, transport, and critical infrastructure need deterministic connectivity that moves with the mission. Traditional rollouts struggle with time-to-service, power, and backhaul constraints. Portable, “all-in-one” 5G modules help bridge that gap by putting the radio, core, and management closer to the edge, enabling local breakout, resilience, and consistent QoS. With 3GPP Release 16/17 features maturing and SA-first private networks becoming standard, demand is shifting from pilots to field-ready systems that can be mounted in vehicles, worn as backpacks, or staged in temporary zones.

Apple M5: The Next Leap in On‑Device AI

Apple M5: The Next Leap in On‑Device AI
Apple’s new M5 chip is a material step in local AI compute that will ripple into enterprise IT, developer tooling, and edge networking strategies. M5 is built on a third‑generation 3‑nanometer process and reworks Apple’s GPU as the center of gravity for AI. The 10‑core GPU adds a dedicated Neural Accelerator in every core, pushing peak GPU compute for AI to more than four times M4. Unified memory bandwidth jumps to 153 GB/s, and configurations with up to 32 GB allow more and larger models to remain entirely on device. On‑device inference is moving from nice‑to‑have to default, driven by privacy, latency, and cost.

AI-Driven Microwave Backhaul 2025: Fiber Split & 20 Gbps

AI-Driven Microwave Backhaul 2025: Fiber Split & 20 Gbps
Ericsson’s Microwave Outlook 2025 points to a backhaul market that will be almost evenly split between microwave and fiber by 2030, reshaping transport decisions for dense 5G and future 6G builds. Microwave already carries traffic for most live 5G networks worldwide, and a rising mix of E-band and emerging higher bands is closing the capacity gap with fiber for short- to medium-range links. For operators facing site densification, fiber lead times, and rising build costs, microwave provides a fast, resilient, and cost-optimized path to scale. E-band deployments are accelerating and overtaking legacy 38 GHz usage in several markets.

COAI defends India mobile tariff hike amid OTT traffic

COAI defends India mobile tariff hike amid OTT traffic
India’s mobile industry lobby is pushing for tariff corrections as network spending rises faster than service revenues. The Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) says operators face a growing mismatch between capital outlays and tariff-led returns. By its estimate, the cumulative gap up to 2024 was already around Rs 10,000 crore and is widening in 2025 as data consumption accelerates. COAI argues that a handful of large traffic generators (LTGs) are responsible for most network load without directly contributing to network build costs. Expect a mix of tariff rationalization, plan redesign, and targeted capex as operators chase sustainable returns.
