Boingo scales private 5G with Globalstar XCOM RAN

Boingo scales private 5G with Globalstar XCOM RAN
Boingo Wireless is integrating Globalstar’s XCOM RAN to accelerate private 5G across airports, stadiums, hospitals, convention centers, transit hubs, and military bases. Globalstar said Boingo will add XCOM RAN, a software-defined private 5G platform built around the Supercell architecture, to its private network portfolio. A highlighted approach is overlaying XCOM RAN on existing distributed antenna system (DAS) infrastructure to preserve DAS coverage advantages while boosting capacity and performance. Enterprises are moving beyond pilot projects to operational private 5G in high-traffic, RF-challenged environments. This aligns with rising demand for low-latency, secure connectivity for IoT, video, automation, and mission-critical operations.

WISP vs Starlink Speeds: Ookla 2025

WISP vs Starlink Speeds: Ookla 2025
New performance data shows U.S. WISPs are getting faster, but low‑Earth orbit players like Starlink are advancing just as quickly—and the competitive gap in rural markets is narrowing. Based on Speedtest Intelligence data from Q1 2021 to Q2 2025, eight of the larger WISPs—Starry, Resound Networks, Nextlink, Wisper Internet, Unwired Broadband, GeoLinks, Etheric Networks, and Rise Broadband—improved speeds, with download gains outpacing uploads. Starry led by a wide margin with a 202 Mbps median download in Q2 2025, followed by Resound at 99 Mbps and Nextlink at 68 Mbps; GeoLinks trailed at 23 Mbps. Crucially, only a minority of WISP users consistently achieve the FCC’s 100/20 Mbps fixed broadband benchmark.

FCC Spectrum: Protect CBRS and 6 GHz

FCC Spectrum: Protect CBRS and 6 GHz
With the FCC under pressure to deliver 300 MHz of auctionable spectrum, a group of Senate Republicans is urging the agency to preserve the shared 3.5 GHz CBRS band and the unlicensed 6 GHz band that underpin private 5G and next‑gen Wi‑Fi. Ten Senate Republicans, including five members of the Senate Commerce Committee, sent a letter urging the FCC to ensure existing operations in the 6 GHz and Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) bands continue “without disruption.” NTIA Administrator Arielle Roth called for preserving 6 GHz for Wi‑Fi, a stance applauded by NCTA as a recognition that unlicensed spectrum is an economic engine.

AI in Government: How Culture and Technology Drive Productivity Gains

AI in Government: How Culture and Technology Drive Productivity Gains
A new Economist Impact report, sponsored by SAS, highlights that AI and digital transformation alone won’t drive government productivity gains. While AI-powered automation can improve efficiency, cybersecurity, and public services, the study underscores that employee engagement, adaptive structures, and cultural readiness are equally important. Based on a survey of 1,550+ public sector employees across 26 countries, the report explores key AI challenges, success stories, and policy recommendations to help governments balance technology and culture for sustainable productivity improvements.
