Malaysia 5G and AI Upskilling for Government by DNB and Ericsson

Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB) and Ericsson have launched a national upskilling program to train 40,000 municipal and government employees in 5G, AI, IoT and automation, signaling a shift from network build to service delivery readiness. Malaysia’s 5G footprint is expanding and the country is positioning for AI-led growth by 2030. Infrastructure alone will not unlock outcomes. Cities and agencies need people who can specify, procure, secure and operate digital services at scale. This initiative targets the execution gap by training frontline staff and policy makers on how to translate connectivity into citizen services, operational efficiency and data-driven decisions.

Touch-Free Wearables: AI-Driven Gesture Devices

Touch-Free Wearables: AI-Driven Gesture Devices
The global wearables market has more than doubled since 2021 and is entering a new cycle driven by AI-enabled, gesture-first devices. After a post-pandemic correction, volumes are stabilizing as value rises, helped by richer sensing, better compute and broader use cases. The next leg of growth centers on “intent-based” interaction—reading minute muscle or motion signals to control devices without touching a screen or speaking a command. The appeal is clear: faster command throughput, fewer errors in noisy environments, and safer operation in motion or sterile settings.

Private 5G Manufacturing Modernization in America

Private 5G Manufacturing Modernization in America
Manufacturers and wireless providers are shifting 5G from promising pilots to scaled, revenue‑relevant deployments across American factories. A joint report from the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) and CTIA underscores a clear inflection point: commercial 5G, industrial AI and edge computing are maturing together. With 3GPP Release 16/17 capabilities such as URLLC, time‑sensitive networking integration, network slicing and non‑public networks, 5G is increasingly able to support time‑critical control, quality inspection and safety systems at scale. Production use cases are expanding and delivering measurable benefits. The message is consistent: companies that operationalize 5G alongside AI and automation will capture disproportionate productivity and resiliency advantages.

Thailand NBTC frees 4.8 GHz for private 5G in factories

What Are Private 5G Networks? Benefits, Use Cases & How They Work
Thailand’s National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) plans to allocate 100 MHz in the 4.8 GHz range to factories and industrial estate operators to deploy non-public 5G networks under a private network operator (PNO) framework. The spectrum is to be granted on request and used solely for internal, non-commercial operations. Mobile operators may bid for PNO rights but cannot use this spectrum for public mobile service. The 4.8 GHz range sits within 3GPP Band n79, which means a relatively deep device and radio ecosystem that can lower total cost of ownership and accelerate time-to-deploy.
