Boldyn brings neutral host 5G to Silverstone Circuit

Boldyn brings neutral host 5G to Silverstone Circuit

Hema Kadia February 17, 2026

Boldyn Networks is rolling out a neutral host 5G upgrade at Silverstone that shifts the circuit from seasonal stopgaps to a year-round, high-capacity mobile platform for fans, teams, and broadcasters. The architecture spans 25 locations, with 57 sectors engineered across 87 DAS zones to handle concentrated traffic and maintain performance under crowd pressure. The design anticipates surges in uplink and signaling, supports concurrent sessions at scale, and smooths throughput across hotspots. A permanent, multi-operator 5G foundation unlocks new revenue, better service metrics, and more efficient event delivery. When connectivity works, dwell time, spend, and satisfaction rise.

India AI infrastructure investment: $200B bid by 2028

India AI infrastructure investment: $200B bid by 2028

Hema Kadia February 17, 2026

India is moving to anchor a larger slice of global AI compute by pairing policy incentives with large-scale private capital and renewable power. New Delhi has outlined plans to attract more than $200 billion for AI infrastructure over the next two years, positioning the country as a production base for compute, data, and advanced applications rather than a pure consumer market. The policy stack aims to reduce friction for export-oriented AI services while widening access to shared compute for startups and enterprises. Adani Group plans to invest $100 billion through 2035 to build renewable-powered, AI-optimized data centers across India.

Ericsson AI rApp on AWS Accelerates Autonomous Networks

Ericsson AI rApp on AWS Accelerates Autonomous Networks

Hema Kadia February 17, 2026

Ericsson has introduced an agentic rApp delivered as a cloud service on Amazon Web Services (AWS), aiming to speed operators’ shift from manual automation toward truly autonomous networks. By offering an “Agentic rApp as a Service” on AWS, Ericsson is packaging policy-driven and AI-assisted RAN optimization as a managed, cloud-delivered capability. Agentic capabilities bring reasoning, planning, and action-taking to operations. Running rApps on AWS offers elasticity, global reach, and faster release cadence. The goal: faster onboarding, lower integration friction, and a more repeatable path to closed-loop assurance across multi-vendor 4G/5G networks.

LMT Group partners with the European Space Agency to develop global dual-mode satellite IoT

Aiva Strelca February 17, 2026

Latvian tech company LMT Group will develop a dual-mode satellite IoT module in the next 12 months in partnership with the European Space Agency. This will enable devices to remain connected almost anywhere, addressing the “dead zones” – oceans, deep forests, and rural farmland – of global connectivity.
The module will allow IoT devices to autonomously switch between terrestrial cellular and satellite networks (NTNs) without data loss or user intervention.

SpaceX IPO: Starlink NTN Threat to AT&T and Verizon

SpaceX IPO: Starlink NTN Threat to AT&T and Verizon

Hema Kadia February 16, 2026

SpaceX’s anticipated 2026 IPO is not just a space-launch story; it is a capital and scale inflection that could reorder parts of the mobile and broadband value chain. Market chatter pegs SpaceX’s IPO valuation around the trillion-plus mark with a potential multibillion-dollar primary raise, a war chest that would dwarf most rivals’ balance sheets. For telecom, the same cash advantage accelerates Starlink’s network deployment, ground infrastructure, and device partnerships—compressing the window for incumbents to respond. Starlink reports more than 9,000 satellites in orbit, 9.2 million paying customers, and over $10 billion in annual revenue.

Trusted Tech Alliance Launches Global Trust Framework

Trusted Tech Alliance Launches Global Trust Framework

Hema Kadia February 16, 2026

A new cross-industry consortium is forming to codify how trusted technology should be built, operated, and governed across borders. On February 13, 2026, fifteen companies spanning cloud, networks, semiconductors, software, and AI launched the Trusted Tech Alliance during the Munich Security Conference. The goal: define verifiable, provider-agnostic practices for a trustworthy technology stack—from connectivity and cloud infrastructure to chips, software, and AI—so customers and governments can rely on secure, resilient services regardless of where solutions are developed or deployed. Trust, sovereignty, and resilience are now gating factors for growth as AI scales and geopolitical risk reshapes supply chains.

Deutsche Telekom multi‑orbit IoT roaming

Deutsche Telekom multi‑orbit IoT roaming

Hema Kadia February 16, 2026

Deutsche Telekom’s launch of seamless IoT roaming across terrestrial, GEO, and LEO networks signals a practical turning point for standards‑based satellite IoT at global scale. Multi‑orbit roaming blends the strengths of geostationary (always‑on footprint, predictable links) with low‑earth orbit (lower latency, better high‑latitude reach) and terrestrial cellular to keep devices online where traditional networks fall short. The service has been validated on Nordic Semiconductor’s nRF9151—billed as the first 3GPP‑compliant cellular IoT module to support terrestrial NB‑IoT/LTE‑M and NB‑NTN over both GEO and LEO—which matters for total cost of ownership and speed to scale.
