A new pilot in Spain shows that the upper 6 GHz band can deliver 5G-class coverage with far higher capacity, positioning it as a prime spectrum option for 5G-Advanced and 6G. The 6.425โ7.125 GHz range (3GPP Band n104) is the last sizable mid-band window that is not tied to legacy mobile use in Europe. The trial found that with higher-order massive MIMO and active antennas, the upper 6 GHz layer can match the practical coverage of 3.5 GHz from existing macro sites. European regulatory clarity, device support and refined coexistence rules are the next critical catalysts for scale.

Ooklaโs new handheld analyzer targets the in-building WiโFi blind spot that drives churn, repeat truck rolls, and enterprise downtime. Across fiber, DOCSIS 4.0, fixed wireless access, and emerging LEO satellite, access speeds to the premises keep rising, but customer satisfaction is slipping because the experience is now judged over WiโFi inside the site. Households run dozens of wireless devices, ethernet ports are disappearing, and enterprises are shifting to wirelessโfirst architectures on WiโFi 6/6E today and WiโFi 7 (802.11be) next. Surveys show most households faced WiโFi issues in the past year, a large share required a truck roll, and a meaningful portion of those visits did not resolve the issue on the first attemptโfueling churn and avoidable Opex.

Mint Mobile is expanding from prepaid wireless into fixed wireless access, introducing a 5G home internet offer that targets price-sensitive households and small offices with unlimited data and headline speeds up to 415 Mbps for as low as $30 per month. The companyโs โMINTernetโ is a self-install 5G home internet service that rides on T-Mobileโs nationwide 5G network, following T-Mobileโs acquisition of Mintโs parent Kaโena Corporation in 2024. At a starting price of $30 per month, Mint undercuts many cable and fiber entry tiers and lands below other national 5G FWA offers, which typically range from $35 to $60 depending on mobile bundle eligibility.

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, โall-in-oneโ 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.

Verizon and AST SpaceMobile have advanced their partnership into a definitive commercial agreement to deliver space-based cellular coverage in the United States starting in 2026. The agreement enables Verizon subscribers to connect โwhen neededโ to AST SpaceMobileโs low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites using standard, unmodified phones. AST says service will focus on coverage gaps across the continental U.S., and will extend Verizonโs premium 850 MHz low-band spectrum into remote areas. AST highlights successful space tests as proof points and positions the network for both commercial and government use.

Alibaba Cloud is integrating Nvidiaโs Physical AI toolchain into its Cloud Platform for AI, bringing robotics-grade simulation, training, and deployment capabilities to customers. Alibaba and Nvidia unveiled a partnership that embeds Nvidiaโs embodied AI development tools directly into Alibabaโs machine learning platform. The integration targets robotics, autonomous driving, and โconnected spacesโ such as warehouses and factories. Physical AI refers to software that models the real world in 3D, generates synthetic data, and trains control policies with reinforcement learning before deploying to physical systems. Developers on Alibaba Cloud gain access to toolchains for data processing, simulation-based training, and real-world reinforcement learning.

OpenAI and NVIDIA unveiled a multiโyear plan to deploy 10 gigawatts of NVIDIA systems, marking one of the largest single commitments to AI compute to date. The partners outlined an ambition to stand up AI โfactoriesโ totaling roughly 10GW of power, equating to several million GPUs across multiple sites and phases as capacity and supply chains mature. NVIDIA plans to invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI, with tranches released as milestones are met; the first $10 billion aligns to completion of the initial 1GW. The first waves will use NVIDIAโs nextโgeneration Vera Rubin systems beginning in the second half of 2026.

Argentinaโs regulator ENACOM has created a new licensing framework and reserved spectrum to let enterprises run stand-alone private mobile networks across critical industries. ENACOM has designated the 2300โ2400 MHz band for Private Wireless Broadband Systems, a category designed for on-premise, non-public LTE/5G networks serving operational technology and enterprise applications rather than consumer subscribers. The framework supports high-throughput, low-latency, and massive IoT use cases, enabling enhanced video, automation, and machine communications across industrial campuses and field operations; 2.3 GHz maps to widely supported 3GPP Band 40 (LTE TDD) and NR n40, giving enterprises access to a mature device and radio ecosystem.

African AI Compute Is Moving Local. Telecom operators and digital infrastructure players are racing to stand up AI-grade capacity on the continent as demand, latency, and data-sovereignty pressures converge. MTN Group is negotiating with US and European partners to co-invest in AI-ready facilities and offer capacity to enterprises across multiple African markets. Cassava Technologies is accelerating its sovereign cloud strategy with five AI-focused facilities slated across key African markets in the next 12 months. Earlier this year, Cassava partnered with Nvidia to launch an AI data centre in South Africa powered by the chipmakerโs GPUs, establishing a reference for accelerated infrastructure on the continent.
