The Infrastructure Imperative at Airports: 5G, Wi-Fi 6, Private Networks & Edge

Airports are shifting from physical-first to connectivity-first infrastructure. Legacy systems are no longer enough to manage modern expectations for speed, safety, and digital experience. Leading airports are deploying Wi-Fi 6, 5G, private mobile networks, and edge computing — not as standalone upgrades but as a hybrid network foundation. Each technology serves a purpose: Wi-Fi 6 supports high-density passenger areas; public 5G offers mobile bandwidth for travelers; private networks ensure operational reliability; and edge computing enables real-time decision-making. Together, they form a resilient architecture built for scalability, cybersecurity, and future growth. Airports like Heathrow, Changi, and DFW are already implementing these layers, proving that connectivity is now core infrastructure, just like runways or terminals.

Secret Service Stops SIM‑Farm Telecom Security Threat Near UNGA

Secret Service Stops SIM‑Farm Telecom Security Threat Near UNGA
As the U.N. General Assembly convened, U.S. authorities quietly removed a dense cluster of SIM servers and cards that investigators say could have overloaded mobile networks and disrupted emergency communications across the New York metro area. Investigators seized more than 300 SIM servers and roughly 100,000 SIM cards distributed across multiple sites within 35 miles of the United Nations complex. Mass device farms can generate signaling storms that overwhelm cell sites and the mobile core, similar in effect to a distributed denial-of-service attack.

T-Mobile Names Srini Gopalan CEO to Drive 5G and AI

T-Mobile Names Srini Gopalan CEO to Drive 5G and AI
T-Mobile has set a clear handover plan that pairs continuity with a sharpened focus on digital, AI, and new growth vectors. Srini Gopalan, currently Chief Operating Officer, will become CEO of T-Mobile US, succeeding Mike Sievert. Sievert moves to a newly created Vice Chairman role, remaining on the management team and Board to advise on strategy, innovation, talent, and external relations. The structure signals operational continuity and a deliberate next phase for the Un-carrier playbook across wireless, broadband, and adjacent services. Expect Gopalan to intensify investments in AI across care, sales, and network operations.

AI $800B Revenue Gap: Compute, Power, and ROI: Bain Report

AI 0B Revenue Gap: Compute, Power, and ROI: Bain Report
New analysis from Bain & Company puts a stark number on AI’s economics: by 2030 the industry may face an $800 billion annual revenue shortfall against what it needs to fund compute growth. Bain estimates AI providers will require roughly $2 trillion in yearly revenue by 2030 to sustain data center capex, energy, and supply chain costs, yet current monetization trajectories leave a large gap. The report projects global incremental AI compute demand could reach 200 GW by 2030, colliding with grid interconnect queues, multiyear lead times for transformers, and rising energy prices.

VodafoneThree taps Ericsson and Nokia for UK 5G SA rollout

VodafoneThree taps Ericsson and Nokia for UK 5G SA rollout
Fresh off its merger, VodafoneThree has locked in eight-year vendor deals with Ericsson and Nokia to underpin a £11 billion UK network build that is front-loaded for rapid 5G Standalone coverage gains. VodafoneThree selected Ericsson and Nokia as primary technology partners for one of the largest privately funded mobile infrastructure programs in Europe, with contracts collectively valued at over £2 billion. In year one, close to three quarters of the population are targeted for access to its fastest 5G services, rising to about 90% population coverage on 5G Standalone by year three and reaching roughly 99.95% by 2034 under a regulated, fully funded build plan.

Verizon Launches 6G Innovation Forum

Verizon Launches 6G Innovation Forum
Verizon has launched a 6G Innovation Forum to accelerate research, trials, and standards alignment for the next generation of wireless. The forum convenes major RAN suppliers, including Ericsson, Samsung Electronics, and Nokia – alongside platform and device ecosystem players such as Meta and Qualcomm Technologies. The stated goal is an open, diversified, and resilient 6G ecosystem with global alignment from the outset. Verizon will back the forum with hands-on environments, starting with a dedicated 6G Lab in Los Angeles. Early priorities include testing new spectrum bands and bandwidths, and validating interoperability with mainstream standards bodies.

Australia telecom overhaul after Optus Triple Zero failure

Australia telecom overhaul after Optus Triple Zero failure
Canberra is signaling an industry shake-up after hundreds of emergency calls failed to reach Triple Zero, with four incidents linked to fatalities. Optus, Australia’s second-largest operator and a subsidiary of Singtel, reported a technical failure that prevented 624 calls from connecting to emergency services (000), affecting customers across Western Australia, South Australia, New South Wales, and the Northern Territory. The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has opened an investigation into compliance with the Emergency Call Service rules, which require carriers to ensure 000/112 calls connect regardless of network status.

KDDI Starlink on iPhone: Direct-to-Cell Satellite Data

KDDI Starlink on iPhone: Direct-to-Cell Satellite Data
KDDI’s move to enable satellite data on recent iPhones via “au Starlink Direct” is a meaningful step toward resilient, nationwide connectivity that blends terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks. KDDI now supports satellite data communication on all models of iPhone 13 through iPhone 17, plus iPhone Air—21 models in total, so consumers and field teams can use essential apps when they are outside cellular coverage. The satellite layer augments KDDI’s 5G/4G LTE footprint; combined, the operator aims to cover virtually all of Japan’s geography, not just its population centers. Notably, the service is available to au subscribers and customers of other carriers.

SoftBank 5G HAPS payload delivers 6-cell coverage

SoftBank 5G HAPS payload delivers 6-cell coverage
SoftBank has validated a multi‑cell, end‑to‑end 5G link via a high‑altitude platform payload, marking a concrete step toward stratospheric coverage that works with standard smartphones. In a June field trial over Hachijō Island, Japan, SoftBank mounted a newly developed payload on a light aircraft at 3,000 meters to emulate a High Altitude Platform Station (HAPS) operating around 20 kilometers. The system stitched a millimeter‑wave feeder link at 26 GHz from a ground gateway to the aircraft with a sub‑2 GHz service link at 1.7 GHz from the aircraft to handsets, completing an end‑to‑end path through the 5G core.

Malaysia 5G and AI Upskilling for Government by DNB and Ericsson

Malaysia 5G and AI Upskilling for Government by DNB and Ericsson
Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB) and Ericsson have launched a national upskilling program to train 40,000 municipal and government employees in 5G, AI, IoT and automation, signaling a shift from network build to service delivery readiness. Malaysia’s 5G footprint is expanding and the country is positioning for AI-led growth by 2030. Infrastructure alone will not unlock outcomes. Cities and agencies need people who can specify, procure, secure and operate digital services at scale. This initiative targets the execution gap by training frontline staff and policy makers on how to translate connectivity into citizen services, operational efficiency and data-driven decisions.
