NEC cuts 5G radio power draw with compact amplifier module

NEC has engineered a compact Power Amplifier Module (PAM) designed to cut energy draw in 5G base station Radio Units. Telcos currently face rising operational expenditures associated with 5G densification. Because 5G networks utilise higher frequency b…

Single-server vRAN proves viable for commercial networks

Samsung and Intel have demonstrated single-server vRAN viability for commercial networks—a pivotal step in reducing hardware sprawl for operators. The challenge for telecoms leaders lies in balancing network performance with the need to reduce Total Co…

How AI-RAN delivers operational ROI for telcos

AI-RAN delivers operational ROI for telcos by moving beyond theoretical concepts into practical energy and spectral efficiency gains. As operators face flatlining revenues and spiralling complexity, the focus has shifted from technological novelty to b…

6 GHz spectrum to be split between mobile and Wi-Fi services

Telecoms regulator Ofcom aims to split the 6 GHz band between mobile and Wi-Fi services to enable the first shared spectrum model in Europe. The regulator’s publication offers a roadmap for managing increasingly dense wireless environments. By adopting…

Samsung and KT validate AI-RAN optimisation on live networks

Samsung and telecoms operator KT have demonstrated the benefits of AI-RAN optimisation on live commercial networks. The partners confirmed that AI can maintain stable service quality on a live network, even as users move through challenging environment…

Global connectivity slows as enterprise infrastructure gaps widen

As global connectivity growth slows and enterprise infrastructure gaps widen, the latest data from the ITU presents a reality check. Released alongside the conclusion of the World Telecommunication Development Conference (WTDC-25) in Baku, the Global C…

How fragmented regulation stifles mobile security innovation

Fragmented security regulation costs mobile operators billions, diverting resources from threat mitigation toward administrative compliance. For security execs in the telecoms sector, the remit has expanded well beyond securing network perimeters. A ne…

Samsung and SK Telecom partner on AI-RAN for 6G infrastructure

Samsung and SK Telecom (SKT) are partnering to build core 6G infrastructure, betting heavily on AI radio access network (AI-RAN) technology. The deal focuses on integrating AI directly into the network’s edge rather than just the core. To counter incre…
