Jeff Bezos Returns as Co-CEO of Project Prometheus AI

Jeff Bezos Returns as Co-CEO of Project Prometheus AI
Jeff Bezos is stepping back into day-to-day operations as co-CEO of Project Prometheus, a new AI company reportedly funded with $6.2 billion to build “AI for the physical economy.” Project Prometheus will be co-led by Bezos and Vik Bajaj, an operator-scientist with leadership experience at Google X, Verily, and Foresite Labs. Early reports indicate the company is targeting engineering and manufacturing tasks across sectors such as aerospace, automotive, and computing hardware. Headcount is already near 100, drawing researchers from OpenAI, Google DeepMind, and Meta, signaling an aggressive push for top-tier AI talent.

Bharti Airtel S&P Upgrade on Strong Q2, ARPU and 5G

Bharti Airtel S&P Upgrade on Strong Q2, ARPU and 5G
S&P Global Ratings has upgraded Bharti Airtel on the back of stronger earnings quality, healthier free cash flow, and a clearer deleveraging path, signaling a maturing Indian mobile market. The action reflects rising confidence that India’s tariff repair is sticking after mid-2024 hikes, with average revenue per user moving up and a larger share of premium 4G/5G subscribers. Airtel’s fiscal Q2 (India) showed operating momentum and cash discipline—key ingredients behind the rating move. Tariff increases and a richer subscriber mix pushed ARPU above the psychologically important INR 200 threshold, aided by postpaid gains, 4G/5G migration, and bundled content.

T-Mobile 5G Network Slicing at Las Vegas Grand Prix

T-Mobile 5G Network Slicing at Las Vegas Grand Prix
The Las Vegas Grand Prix is more than a spectacle this year—it’s a real-world benchmark for what 5G Standalone can deliver under extreme density, with T-Mobile integrating slicing, private 5G and edge video into broadcast, venue ops and public safety workflows. Broadcast teams are ingesting 360-degree and drone feeds over 5G with edge processing, venue commerce runs on a dedicated slice, and police leverage a 5G-connected drone for situational awareness. These deployments illustrate a practical blueprint for monetizing 5G SA and edge in venues, media, public safety and large events.

Verizon layoffs: 15,000 cuts, store franchising

Verizon layoffs: 15,000 cuts, store franchising
Multiple media reports say Verizon plans to cut roughly 15,000 jobs and shift about 180–200 company-owned stores to franchise operators, marking its most significant restructuring to date. According to reports citing unnamed sources, Verizon is preparing layoffs equal to about 15% of its workforce, with some estimates suggesting cuts could reach up to 20,000 roles when store conversions are included. Verizon ended 2024 with roughly 100,000 U.S. employees after several years of incremental reductions. Leadership has signaled the need to simplify operations and reset the expense base following heavy 5G investment and a more promotional market.

Top Testing Challenges CSPs face in Delivering Private 5G Services

Communication service providers face three major challenges in delivering private 5G: staying competitive, ensuring SLA performance, and maintaining operational efficiency. With enterprise use cases ranging from healthcare to manufacturing, the complexity is significant. Spirent supports CSPs by enabling automated testing and assurance to address these issues.

How Spirent Helps CSPs Solve Private 5G Testing & Automation Challenges

Spirent empowers CSPs to tackle private 5G deployment challenges by automating SLA testing, streamlining multi-vendor integration, and enabling real-world performance validation. Through collaborations like Telefónica’s CI/CD/CT platform, Spirent delivers scalable, vendor-agnostic assurance frameworks critical for enterprise-grade 5G.

Private 5G Network Security: 4 Pillars for Securing Private 5G, LTE & CBRS

Private 5G Network Security: 4 Pillars for Securing Private 5G, LTE & CBRS
Private cellular networks are transforming industrial operations, but securing private 5G, LTE, and CBRS infrastructure requires more than legacy IT/OT tools. This whitepaper by TeckNexus and sponsored by OneLayer outlines a 4-pillar framework to protect critical systems, offering clear guidance for evaluating security vendors, deploying zero trust, and integrating IT, OT, and IoT under a unified, secure-by-design architecture.

Private 5G CBTC Validation: CAF and Cellnex

Private 5G CBTC Validation: CAF and Cellnex
CAF’s signalling division and Cellnex demonstrated that OPTIO, a modular and multi-bearer CBTC platform, operates reliably on a private 5G network in both lab and field conditions, including challenging scenarios such as tunnels. The system already supports Wi‑Fi and LTE; adding 5G confirms a multi-access design that lets operators choose the right bearer per line, phase, or location. Private 5G brings ultra-low latency, higher capacity, stronger QoS control, and end-to-end security under the operator’s domain. The project received European co-financing via the Recovery and Resilience Facility under Spain’s UNICO Sectorial 2023 program, underscoring public support for digital rail modernization.

Ericsson deploys Neutral Host 5G Small Cells at 10 World Trade

Ericsson deploys Neutral Host 5G Small Cells at 10 World Trade
A new neutral host 5G deployment at 10 World Trade in Boston’s Seaport sets a practical blueprint for scalable, multi-operator indoor connectivity in Class A commercial real estate. Most mobile traffic is generated indoors, yet macro networks struggle to penetrate dense, energy-efficient buildings. The 10 World Trade deployment—delivered by Boston Global Investors (BGI) with Aspen Venue Partners and Ericsson – addresses all three pressures with a small-cell-based, neutral host design that multiple operators can share while also supporting private 5G and future network slicing. The model aligns with broader industry trends: 3GPP-based indoor systems, shared infrastructure economics, and spectrum agility that includes CBRS in the U.S.

Nokia and LMT advance tactical 5G in the Baltics

Nokia and LMT advance tactical 5G in the Baltics
Nokia and Latvia’s LMT are aligning 5G radio and defense capabilities to deliver a field-ready, private tactical communications system for Baltic and coalition forces. Nokia will integrate its 5G radio portfolio with LMT’s defense solutions to build a secure, high-capacity, and resilient tactical network tailored to Baltic military needs. The joint system is designed for dedicated use cases, enabling real-time data exchange across uncrewed platforms, sensors, and dismounted teams. The goal is improved situational awareness, faster decision cycles, and assured interoperability for collective defense.

SK Telecom executive cuts: 30% reduction

SK Telecom executive cuts: 30% reduction
Reports indicate SK Group will reduce executive ranks by up to 30%, a move that would reshape decision-making across affiliates including SK Telecom (SKT). For SKT, which sits at the nexus of the group’s AI, cloud, and connectivity ambitions, executive trims would concentrate authority and compress approval chains at a sensitive time for 5G monetization and AI platform bets. Executive consolidation at a Tier-1 operator tends to reset priorities, procurement rhythms, and partner engagement models.

LMT Launches Latvia’s First Private 5G Network at Freeport of Riga

LMT, in partnership with Druid Software, launched Latvia’s first private 5G network at the Freeport of Riga. Replacing outdated Wi-Fi, the new 5G solution enhances port operations with improved automation, real-time data transfer, and reduced downtime. This milestone marks a major step in Latvia’s industrial digitalization and sets the stage for 5G adoption across sectors like manufacturing and agriculture.
