The deal builds heavily on Qualcomm’s recent acquisition of Cellwize Wireless Technologies.

The move boosts T-Mobile US’ 5G SA core with access to mid-band spectrum the carrier acquired when it purchased Sprint.

The 5G and Edge Accelerate Coalition is being led by General Dynamics Information Technology.

The latest expansion places the Wavelength access point in Manchester running on Vodafone's 4G LTE and 5G network.

The Core SaaS for 5G service will be offered on-demand through a subscription service managed by Nokia.

Rakuten's Tareq Amin said this will allow operators to push quickly beyond the initial integration challenges of setting up an open telecom system.

A test beamed a 5G signal 6.2 miles using spectrum in the 28 GHz band that produced an average downlink speed of 1.75 Gb/s.

The blueprint comes from a trial led by the Telecom Infra Project's 5G Private Networks group, which is itself chaired by telecom giant Telefónica.

The disaggregated cell site gateway routers are based on open architectures and standard APIs and link cell sites to a network core.

The group will develop scalable and modular end-to-end infrastructure that can be used to test extended reality applications.

The integrated deployment resulted in lower power consumption than separate standalone deployments without impacting performance.

The latest push continues what has been aggressive moves by European countries and operators to secure domestic networks and expand the vendor base.

The Device Edge platform is the vendor’s enterprise-focused and supported distribution of its previously unveiled MicroShift project.

“Our results from the third quarter were not yet where we would like them to be,” Verizon CFO Matt Ellis bluntly stated.

“We haven't made a big splash about standalone core, but we have a standalone core deployed," AT&T's Chris Sambar said.

The deal comes as analyst firms continue to pump up the private 5G network opportunity.

The carrier has 10 of these edge zones up and running across the U.S., with plans to add at least two more before the end of the year.

The carrier also plans to deploy 30,000 Symware edge appliances across 23,000 of its cell site locations in Japan over the next 10 months.

The cable giant signed a deal with Samsung to provide 5G radio access network equipment.

The move allows users to deploy Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service-managed clusters completely on the Outposts platform.

The carrier was far-and-away the biggest winner in the latest 2.5 GHz spectrum auction, picking up more than 89% of the total licenses up for bid.

The latest moves come just months after it named Sowmyanarayan Sampath as CEO replacing long-time company exec Tami Erwin.

The fine is tied to a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation into the vendor’s public filings for its 2019 and 2020 fiscal years.

The move will see Nokia add its operating support system, business support system, and security software applications under the AVA brand.
