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.
T-Mobile has expanded its Starlink-powered T-Satellite service to all carriers, offering satellite SMS and location sharing in areas with no cellular coverage. Compatible with over 60 devices—including newer iPhones, Samsung, and Google Pixel models—T-Satellite provides off-grid communication for just $10/month. Learn how to sign up and what features are coming next.
Perplexity’s new Comet browser blends AI search, summaries, and an integrated AI assistant to automate tasks like managing tabs and summarizing emails. Launched for its $200/month Max plan subscribers, Comet aims to rival Chrome and Edge by redefining how we browse and work online.
Nvidia’s Open Power AI Consortium is pioneering the integration of AI in energy management, collaborating with industry giants to enhance grid efficiency and sustainability. This initiative not only caters to the rising demands of data centers but also promotes the use of renewable energy, illustrating a significant shift towards environmentally sustainable practices. Discover how this synergy between technology and energy sectors is setting new benchmarks in innovative and sustainable energy solutions.
Oumi AI, founded by ex-Google and Apple engineers, is the first fully open-source AI platform offering unrestricted access to models, data, and training pipelines. Unlike Llama and DeepSeek-R1, Oumi eliminates AI silos by enabling seamless collaboration across researchers, universities, and enterprises. With backing from MIT, Stanford, and Oxford, Oumi is enabling AI development through transparency, decentralization, and scalable infrastructure—making AI truly accessible to all.
Direct-to-Device (D2D) satellite services are revolutionizing connectivity but face significant spectrum challenges. The Summit Ridge whitepaper explores how leveraging the 2 GHz band, innovative partnerships, and regulatory shifts can unlock the potential of D2D services worldwide.
India’s ambition to become a global smartphone manufacturing leader faces hurdles as nearly half of its production capacity remains underutilized. Despite significant investments and the government’s PLI scheme, weak domestic and global demand has impacted production. Industry leaders like Foxconn and Tata Electronics continue to expand, while smaller manufacturers struggle. Experts predict recovery as global demand for smartphones and advanced technologies grows by 2025.
When Apple declared that LLMs can’t reason, they forgot one crucial detail: a hammer isn’t meant to turn screws. In our groundbreaking study of Einstein’s classic logic puzzle, we discovered something fascinating. While language models initially stumbled with pure reasoning – making amusing claims like “Plumbers don’t drive Porsches” – they excelled at an unexpected task.
Apple is set to invest $1.1 billion in expanding satellite connectivity for iPhones through Globalstar, aiming to develop a new satellite constellation that enhances emergency services and connects users in remote locations. This expansion, including new satellites and infrastructure, highlights Apple’s commitment to uninterrupted mobile services, even in cellular dead zones.
In this episode of the 5G Guys podcast, hosts Wayne Smith and Dan McVaugh delve into the world of satellite connectivity with Tarun Gupta, co-founder of Skylo Technologies. Learn how Skylo is pioneering 5G and satellite integration to enhance IoT, SMS, and voice services globally. Discover the advantages of their standards-based approach and how it differentiates from other satellite services like Starlink and AST SpaceMobile.
