Cargill Makes Private 5G the Manufacturing Connectivity Standard

After a three-year evaluation, Cargill made private 5G its manufacturing connectivity standard, turning up more than 50 sites across the US, Europe, and Latin America in roughly 10 months with Celona's 5G LAN platform, at a fraction of the cost of comparable Wi-Fi deployments.

Private 5G vs Public 5G vs Wi-Fi 7 – Where Each Model Actually Fits

private 5G vs public 5G vs Wi-Fi 7 which is right for your site
Public 5G, private 5G, and Wi-Fi 7 each fit a genuinely different set of connectivity needs, and the right choice depends on the specific application's mobility, density, and reliability requirements rather than organisational habit. This guide sets out a practical decision framework for choosing between the three, and where many real deployments end up using all three together.

Private 5G Providers and Vendor Categories – Who Does What Across RAN, Core, Edge and Integration

Private 5G Vendors 2026: RAN, Core, Edge and Integration
Private 5G deployments are built from four distinct vendor layers — RAN, core, edge, and systems integration — each with its own specialist vendor landscape and evaluation criteria. This guide breaks down what each layer covers and who operates in it, as a foundation for structured, comparable vendor evaluation rather than an unstructured single-vendor comparison.

Private 5G Network Deployment: Architecture, Spectrum, Costs and Rollout in 2026

Private 5G Network Deployment: Architecture, Spectrum, Costs
Private 5G has become mainstream industrial infrastructure, but the decisions behind a deployment — architecture ownership, spectrum access, vendor selection, cost modelling, and rollout planning — are still frequently evaluated in isolation. This pillar guide lays out how the five core decisions fit together, giving enterprises a starting framework before going deeper into any single decision area.

Carriers Are Quietly Replacing SMS Passcodes With the SIM Itself

SIM-Based Authentication: Why Carriers Are Replacing SMS OTPs
Glide.id's MagicalAuth, launched in public beta with AT&T, T-Mobile US, and Verizon, replaces SMS one-time passcodes with hardware-rooted authentication anchored in the SIM or eSIM itself, verified through open network APIs. TeckNexus examines how this differs structurally from SMS OTP, why the three-carrier coverage threshold matters, and why the underlying infrastructure is likely to become directly relevant to enterprise IoT and OT device identity verification, even though today's launch is consumer-facing.
