    Samsung signs AI-RAN contracts with KT and SK Telecom (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Samsung Electronics has signed contracts with both KT and SK Telecom to participate in South Korea’s government-backed Hyper AI Network program, a two-year initiative designed to test whether private 5G networks and edge AI can support robots doing real industrial work. Samsung says it will serve as the sole global vendor for KT’s project and a main vendor for SKT’s, with field pilots slated to begin in October 2026. To be clear, this is a supplier-selection and deployment-contract step, not th

    RAN market flat through 2030 as Dell'Oro sees the mix shift (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The radio access network market will stay essentially flat through 2030, but there will still be a real shift in what operators are buying, according to Dell’Oro Group. Stefan Pongratz of Dell’Oro opened the Intelligent RAN Forum with a two-part message: the post-5G inventory correction is over, and the growth that remains is concentrated in a handful of segments rather than spread across the market.

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Microsoft and AWS have jointly launched a managed multicloud interconnect designed to create private, high-speed connectivity between Azure and AWS. The collaboration merges AWS Interconnect – multicloud and Azure Multicloud Interconnect into what the companies describe as a single logical resource, exposed through a standardized OpenAPI specification.

    SK Telecom's Topdda turns vans into AI inspectors (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    SK Telecom has commercialized “Topdda,” an AI-powered inspection system that turns the company’s ordinary work vehicles into a rolling survey fleet for South Korea’s wireline infrastructure. The pitch is essentially to mount AI cameras, a GPS antenna, and a neural processing unit on the vans technicians already drive, and let the system inspect everything they pass while they go about their normal work. The footage gets captured and pre-processed continuously as crews handle customer complaints

    AT&T runs OTel 2.0 on AMD and Dell hardware (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    AT&T has taken OTel 2.0, the open-source telecom AI model developed under the GSMA-led Open Telco AI initiative, and pushed it into full production deployment — with Dell and AMD supplying the hardware muscle. The model is built on Google’s Gemma 4 31B-IT base and post-trained specifically for telecom workloads. It’s a 31 billion parameter model, which is far lower than what you’d find in a frontier model — but that’s intentional. Keeping it well below frontier scale means it can run on right-si
