Join us for RCRTech Industrial Wireless Forum for the panel "From Blueprint to Scale: Integrating Private 5G into Industrial Networks" with speakers Mario Schwarz from Lufthansa Cargo, David O'Byrne from Druid Software, Puneet Shetty from Celona and Bruno Tomas from Wireless Broadband Alliance Inc. and myself as the moderator. The panel will explore the progress of private 5G adoption across industrial sectors, how are enterprises integrating private 5G into brownfield environments. Some of the questions I’ll be putting to the speakers, alongside hearing about their valuable hands-on experience: 🔹 How does P5G complement existing technologies such as Wi-Fi, wired networks and IoT connectivity? 🔹 What will it take to turn industrial early private 5G deployments into scaled business? 🔹 Is AI opening up new investment budgets and creating fresh demand for advanced networks?

Toshiba launches new Quantum-Safe Networking Platform aiming to help operators, data centres and enterprises prepare for post-quantum security threats, integrating with existing network infrastructure rather than requiring a greenfield build. Tim Hatt discusses why this matters for the industry, particularly when only around 12–15% of networks have deployed post-quantum defences.

#GSMAIntelligence #FixedBroadband - Excited to announce that we have just published our first Chart of the Week, which replaces the Chart of the Month! As implied by the name, this means that our clients now get an insightful chart once a week, rather than just once a month. In another first, this Chart of the Week features fixed broadband data from our latest Global Consumer Survey - this is the first time that fixed broadband has been included as a topic within the survey. Based on responses from consumers across 12 countries*, the leading cause of dissatisfaction with fixed broadband is unreliable connections. GSMA Intelligence clients can see the top 3 causes of dissatisfaction by country at: https://lnkd.in/egENwfx5 In mature markets where growth from first-time fixed broadband subscribers has slowed down to a trickle, ISPs need to address these issues to retain their subscribers, ensuring that those who are dissatisfied do not vote with their feet, thus benefiting their competitors. *: The 12 countries included in our survey are: Australia, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Poland, South Korea, Spain, UAE, UK and USA.

We publish more than 200 reports every year. Now you can get the answers inside them in seconds. I’ve loved working on bringing the new GSMA Intelligence Insights Assistant to our platform. Users can ask questions naturally and get clear, defensible answers, grounded in our published research and linked back to the source. Meaning our customers can spend less time searching, greater self-service and faster access to trusted intelligence, while keeping the rigour behind the answer. Take a look at the new experience in action below.

Deutsche Telekom, Orange, Telefónica, and Vodafone have signed a Letter of Intent to explore a joint bid for future Mobile Satellite Services (#MSS) spectrum in the 2 GHz band. The ⁠goal is to meet customer demand for universal coverage, strengthen public networks and protect critical communications by building a European-led Direct-to-Device (#D2D) satellite connectivity model that connects mobile phones to satellites in remote or underserved areas. The four operators plan to jointly manage ground network infrastructure, monitoring and control functions across Europe. Rather than building or owning their own #satellite constellation, they intend to partner with an external satellite operator, such as AST SpaceMobile. Let us know your thoughts on the joint bid in the comments. Find out Tim Hatt and Peter Jarich's take on the development in episode 22 of the Intelligence and Noise podcast: https://lnkd.in/e9gwRsgX
