Congratulations to AT&T ... AT&T Fiber the fastest & most consistent fixed internet service provider This report reflects one of the key focus areas for AT&T ... "Everything we do is with the customer in mind" ...  "the results are driven by the consumers themselves. The wins are based on nationwide test results that come from millions of real people taking tests daily with Speedtest" https://lnkd.in/eENJA668

Are you relying solely on fiber for your mission-critical applications? Think again. The risk of a single-point-of-failure is too great. That's where wireless redundancy comes in. MW and mmW solutions offer fiber-like capacity with lower latency. Our teams at Ceragon Networks and Siklu are here to support your network. Don't leave your mission-critical applications vulnerable. #wirelessredundancy #missioncritical #networksupport

"The age-old wisdom of a Native American proverb, “You can’t wake a person who is pretending to be asleep”, resonates strongly with the current malaise pervading the telecoms industry. It is a fitting metaphor for the industry’s collective denial of its own flawed 5G gambits, which is costing it dearly in capital and, more deeply, compromising its long-term viability." Credit: Luke Kehoe, "5G: telcoms’ denial of its flaws and failures is costing them dearly" Short term the industry needs to get back to basics - customers, efficiency, 101 running a good business Long term... #6G cannot be the next #5G https://lnkd.in/eQDy-vj6

Nextivity is back on the road and in Illinois. Chicago represented today. Lots of in-depth discussion around how to fix cellular coverage for customers. A very impressive group of partners and potential partners. Groups like this energize me. #cellular #5g #lte #cbrs #education #schools #sales #salesenablement #retail

Some big announcements this week related to the use of #AI in Telco Mobile Networks. Timing couldn't be better as Spectrum Effect was just this week awarded the patent for the use of AI and Machine Learning Models for classifying interference types in Mobile Operator RAN networks. I have strong conviction on AI's ability to drive more efficient and effective operations of mobility networks and ultimately better outcomes for consumers of the services that mobile networks enable. We are in fantastic company to be joined on this journey with the NVIDIA, Ericsson, Nokia, and T-Mobile announcing their intentions to invest in this space. https://lnkd.in/ebB4BM9X

We delivered another solid quarter of financial and operational results, thanks to the builders of Gigabit America. Here are a few highlights: 🎯 We passed a record number of homes and businesses with fiber. 👋 We grew fiber broadband customers by double digits – proving that we have the very best product in the market. 🌐 We grew ARPU because our customers are increasingly choosing Gig speeds and value-added services – like YouTube TV and whole-home WiFi – to enhance their internet experience. 💗 We continued to lead the industry in customer satisfaction. Our NPS scores are the highest of any fixed internet provider and 6X higher than our nearest legacy cable competitor. 📈 We hit our second quarter in a row of revenue growth, which positions us to deliver full-year revenue growth in 2024. I'm proud of what we've achieved and confident in the power of our fiber technology to transform lives, communities and the way we connect. Read our full earnings results. https://lnkd.in/gfSftzNy #BuildingGigabitAmerica Frontier Internet

A must read by our own Gerry COLLINS. Behind the buzz words of NT, NTN, 5G, Ku band, release 19, 3GPP... this is a major step that will make terrestrial and satellite networks interoperable and that you should care about as this is properly transformative. https://lnkd.in/dcWxWFWQ

Boost Mobile and Wind River collaborate on the largest CaaS vendor changeover on an Open RAN network! Another great win for #WindRiver, and a moment of reflection. My takes from this success are three. Never give up. My colleagues had a dream (sound familiar?) and pursued it despite headwinds/adversities and delays. Perseverance and constancy gave them (and the client) the sense of being the right choice. Reputation is like a bee; it can fly but can sting you. An incumbent position is not a fixed status, it is not granted, and you need to maintain it and gain it every time. Challenge yourself. You can be Goliath tomorrow so, don’t forget you were David. Focus on what’s next, your client, be grounded, and don’t let the other determine who you are. Well done team! #WeAreWindRiver #StarlingX #CoreToEdge 🔗Learn more: https://ow.ly/iVMl30sIwTn

​Wi-Fi needs to be faster, stronger, and more reliable to meet increased demands and the boom in IoT. Wi-Fi 7 technology answers those challenges and offers higher speeds, wider channels, and improved coverage. Watch this short video to find out how Wi-Fi 7 works and can support your operations.: https://lnkd.in/gFGmdEtu #WhereEverythingConnects #Innovation #WiFi7

Telecom vendor selection isn't the same as other procurement. So if your vendor selection process tries to: - Only factor in price, - Rely on outdated information, - Overlook location-specific coverage... ...expect it to create sub-optimal connectivity at best, business disruption at worst. This one-size-fits-all approach might work in centralized procurement but in telecom - it falls short. Which is why I'm equal parts surprised & not surprised it's so common. Surprised because it's clearly the wrong approach. But also not surprised because it's easy to see how we got here... Telecom used to be very centralized. And, at that time, this made perfect sense. The carriers were limited. The options were standardized. Most services didn't leave the bounds of the office. These stakeholders needed to be able to control costs. The process supported that. It was only when remote work did end-users start having sway over connectivity decisions. In response, telecom procurement corrected course. But it over-corrected. And now the correction needs correcting. I'm not saying throw out procurement best practices. But I am saying that it should enable productivity as quickly & efficiently as possible. Eliminate the guesswork. Keep the oversight.

The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India(TRAI)'s recent recommendation to introduce experimental authorization for spectrum in the 95 Gigahertz to 3 Terahertz range could spark innovation among entrepreneurs. This move may lead to the development of new technologies and services utilizing the Terahertz range, such as vehicle radars that significantly enhance road safety. This is especially crucial for India, which has the highest number of road fatalities in the world. #TechForGood #Entrepreneurship

Scaling networks to keep up with bandwidth demand is a significant challenge, especially as advances in spectral efficiency diminish. A cost-effective option is to simply expand the available spectrum in the existing C-band – Super C. Learn more in Infinera’s new video: #SuperC #OpticalNetworking #Capacity
