Private 5G and Wi-Fi Convergence at Airports and Large Venues

Private 5G and Wi-Fi Convergence at Airports and Large Venues
Airports and large venues are running private 5G alongside Wi-Fi rather than choosing between them. This analysis examines deployments at Minneapolis-St. Paul, Frankfurt and the Paris airports, sets out how operators divide workloads between the two technologies, and explains the identity, interworking, spectrum and governance building blocks of a converged connectivity estate.

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.

Telecom Becomes an AI Vendor: AI & Automation Insights, August 2026

Telecom Becomes an AI Vendor: AI & Automation Insights, August 2026
August 2026's roundup: operators from SK Telecom to Ooredoo built or monetized AI infrastructure directly, AI-RAN validation reached the device and per-user level, agentic AI moved deeper into live network operations, and governance caught up with a watermarking mandate, an incident-reporting coalition, and a hard look at why AI inference costs keep rising even as token prices fall.

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.

Telecom and Wireless Insights, July 2026: Satellite’s Extremes and AI-RAN’s Deployment Gap

Telecom and Wireless Insights, July 2026: Satellite's Extremes and AI-RAN's Deployment Gap
July 2026's roundup: Hughes Network Systems nears bankruptcy as SpaceX files to launch 100,000 satellites, Nokia's AI-RAN commercial deployments trail Ericsson's 15+ by a full order of magnitude, the FCC finalizes a $6.3B C-band incentive package and closes AT&T's $23B EchoStar spectrum deal, and fiber capital and industrial 5G both keep expanding globally.

Deutsche Telekom–T-Mobile US holdco merger plan

Meta ordered to pay €30M to Deutsche Telekom
Deutsche Telekom is weighing a structural overhaul that would collapse its 53% ownership of T-Mobile US into a single, unified company spanning both sides of the Atlantic. Reports indicate Deutsche Telekom is exploring an all-stock transaction in which a new holding company would acquire both Deutsche Telekom and T-Mobile US, with current shareholders of each ending up as owners of the combined entity. The new group could pursue dual listings in the U.S. and Europe, eliminating today’s parent–subsidiary setup and aligning governance, strategy, and capital allocation under one roof.
