Skyfora & LMT 5G GNSS Weather Sensor Grid in Latvia

5G GNSS Weather Sensor Grid in Latvia
Skyfora and LMT demonstrated a real-time, kilometer-scale GNSS meteorology grid running on LMT’s 5G network at NATO’s Digital Backbone Experimentation (DiBaX), signaling a new class of “network-as-a-sensor” capability for Europe. At DiBaX in Latvia, LMT’s 5G sites equipped with Skyfora’s Weather Engine streamed continuous atmospheric measurements derived from small, measurable delays in GNSS signals as they traverse humid air. The result was a rapid-update observation grid delivering near real-time insights into the evolution of storms, extreme rainfall, flood risk, and heat stress across large areas, without deploying new physical weather stations.

India 6 GHz Spectrum: Wi‑Fi vs IMT Showdown

SPECTRUM CONTROVERSY THE ROLE OF THE 6 GHZ BAND IN INDIA’S TELECOMMUNICATIONS FUTURE
A high-stakes policy fight has emerged in India over the 6 GHz band, pitting global device and cloud ecosystems against mobile operators over whether the band should power unlicensed Wi‑Fi or licensed mobile (IMT) networks. Apple, Amazon, Cisco, Meta, HP, and Intel have jointly urged India’s regulator, TRAI, to reserve the full 6 GHz range for Wi‑Fi, arguing the band is not technically or commercially ready for IMT and that unlicensed use will deliver immediate, widespread capacity benefits. Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel, and Vodafone Idea have countered that delicensing upper 6 GHz would permanently foreclose India’s option to deploy wide‑area licensed broadband in prime mid‑band spectrum.

Ericsson Mobility Report: differentiated 5G connectivity

Ericsson Mobility Report: differentiated 5G connectivity
Ericsson’s latest Mobility Report points to a clear shift: operators are turning 5G capabilities into differentiated, SLA-backed services rather than just selling more data at higher speeds. After years of building coverage and capacity, 5G networks are mature enough to commercialize features like guaranteed latency, uplink boosts, and application-aware prioritization. The catalysts are in place: more 5G Standalone (SA) cores, rising traffic from video creation and immersive apps, and enterprise demand for predictable performance across sites and clouds. The net result is momentum behind premium, differentiated connectivity that can be priced, assured, and exposed to partners.

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.

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.

NTT Docomo AI-AI Air Interface Trial Doubles 6G Throughput with Nokia Bell Labs and SK Telecom

AI-AI Air Interface Trial Doubles 6G Throughput
A consortium led by NTT DOCOMO, NTT, Nokia Bell Labs, and SK Telecom has shown that applying AI to both transmitter and receiver—“AI-AI”—can materially lift outdoor 6G performance, pointing to an AI-native air interface that adapts in real time to messy, real-world radio conditions. Using 5G New Radio as the baseline at 4.8 GHz, the AI-AI approach improved average throughput by roughly 18% across mixed environments and delivered up to a 100% gain in the most challenging sections of a curved public road. The net: AI at both ends consistently compensated for channel fluctuations outdoors, not just in controlled labs.

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.

5G net neutrality: Jio urges TRAI flexibility

Jio 5G Nears 50% of Mobile Base
5G standalone networks change the service model. Operators can carve the network into slices with distinct latency, reliability, and throughput characteristics validated by 3GPP standards. That enables ultra-reliable low-latency communications for factory automation, connected vehicles, remote operations, and mission-critical services. It also enables differentiated quality for cloud gaming, broadcast-like video, and IoT control loops when combined with edge computing and time-sensitive networking. Jio’s position is that treating all traffic identically under a single “internet access” umbrella can inhibit these new uses. A ruleset that preserves open internet principles for consumers yet explicitly allows specialized services with assured QoS for enterprises is what the company seeks.

Deutsche Telekom Q3: US growth, FTTH momentum, raised guidance

Deutsche Telekom Q3: US growth, FTTH momentum, raised guidance
Group revenue reached about €28.9 billion, up 3.3% on an organic basis, with service revenue and adjusted EBITDA AL growing despite currency pressure from a weaker U.S. dollar; adjusted EBITDA AL was roughly €11.1 billion on an organic basis, and full-year 2025 EBITDA AL guidance rose to around €45.3 billion alongside a stronger free cash flow after leases outlook near €20.1 billion. Adjusted net profit increased to approximately €2.7 billion (+14% year-on-year), while reported net profit was €2.4 billion (-18% year-on-year) due to lapping prior-year one-offs in financial activities—an accounting effect rather than a signal of operating weakness.
