🔴 eSIM Reality Check and Privacy Leak Researchers exposed that many travel eSIMs silently route traffic through foreign carriers and grant unverified resellers carrier-grade privileges. 📡 It arises from eSIM’s remote-provisioning model, shifting trust to cloud resellers and routing paths, where nontransparent intermediaries operate with fewer safeguards, leaving users vulnerable to potential data leaks. Key findings: 🔻 Cross-border routing. Many travel eSIMs send traffic via foreign networks (ex. Holafly via China Mobile), exposing data to other jurisdictions. 🔻 Third-party access. Unverified resellers can view IDs, track location, assign static IPs, revoke profiles etc - without oversight. 🔻 Silent activity. Some eSIMs quietly open data sessions or receive SMS without user notification. 25 travel eSIMs were tested 🔸 Nearly all routed traffic through foreign networks. 🔸 2 showed silent “phone-home” activity. 🔸 2 reseller platforms exposed carrier-level controls to unverified users. Does the eSIM standard itself have security flaws? No, the standard is technically secure. ⚠️ But actual security depends on all ecosystem parties (SM-DP+, eUICC, MNOs, resellers) acting correctly. The risks come from how controls are redistributed in real-world deployments, where governance and enforcement lag. 🙌 Kudos to researchers from Northeastern University - Maryam Motallebighomi, Jason Veara, Evangelos Bitsikas and Aanjhan Ranganathan. #eSIM #TelecomSecurity #MobileSecurity #Privacy #GSMA #CyberSecurity

🚀 Building the Future of Radio Access Network Operations with AI The telecommunications industry is experiencing unprecedented complexity with 5G deployments, Open RAN architectures, the emergence of AI-RAN and 6G research. RAN engineers are at the frontlines, managing thousands of base stations, analyzing massive datasets, and ensuring network performance 24/7. 🚀 The Challenge Today's RAN engineers face: ✔️ Multi-vendor environments with diverse management interfaces ✔️ Data overload from thousands of KPI metrics and alarms ✔️ Complex troubleshooting across multiple network layers ✔️ Rapid technology evolution requiring continuous learning 🤖The Solution: Intelligent RAN Copilot Here is a comprehensive framework for building an Instruction-Following Transformer Copilot specifically designed for RAN engineers. This isn't just another chatbot—it's a domain-expert AI assistant that: ✅ Understands telecom terminology (RSRP, SINR, eNB, gNB, etc.) ✅ Generates executable commands (SQL queries, API calls, CLI scripts) ✅ Provides role-based responses for NOC, Field, and Planning engineers ✅ Validates outputs to prevent network disruptions ✅ Grounds responses in real-time network data 🔧Key Technical Innovations 🎯 Role-Based Personas: Different response styles for NOC engineers (concise, action-oriented) vs. Field engineers (detailed procedures with safety considerations) 🛡️ Hallucination Prevention: Multi-layer validation system with real-time fact-checking against OSS data 📊 Real-Time Grounding: Integration with streaming KPI data, alarms, and configuration changes via Kafka pipelines 🔍 RAG Architecture: Vector-based knowledge retrieval from technical documentation, procedures, and best practices 📈Real-World Impact Reduction in problem resolution time Automation of repetitive tasks Decrease in training time for new engineers System availability with <3 second response times The telecommunications industry is at an inflection point. By combining domain expertise with cutting-edge AI, we can empower RAN engineers to build and operate the networks that will power our digital future.

Iridium Communications and Deutsche Telekom are teaming up to deliver global Iridium NTN Direct connectivity service under the terms of a partnership agreement the companies announced September 16. The partnership will see Deutsche Telekom gain roaming access to Iridium’s upcoming 3GPP standards-based 5G service, which includes NB-IoT direct-to-device (D2D) connectivity from pole to pole. The two companies will then collaborate to integrate Iridium NTN Direct with Deutsche Telekom’s terrestrial global IoT network. The partners confirmed that the new services will launch in commercial markets sometime in 2026. Iridium and Deutsche Telekom said they plan to execute a roaming agreement to support full commercial service launch after they complete integration and testing. #DirectToDevice #D2D #d2c #5G #6G #UbiquitousConnectivity #NTN #NonTerrestrialNetworks #SatelliteCommunications  #apple  #iPhone #samsung  #connectivity  #connectivitymatters #communications  #newspace #newspaceeconomy #constellations #satellite #space #satelliteoperatos #satcoms #satellitesystems  #telecommunications #spaceindustry #LowEarthOrbit  #megaconstellations #esa  #eu #europe #resilience #oneweb #starlink #spacex #telesat #globalstar #iridium #qualcomm #att #huawei #ASTSpacemobile #lynk #internetofthings #development #emergencyresponse  #5gnetworks  #iris2 #iridium #directtodevice #autonomousvehicles #SES #viasat #ses #tmobile #verizon #vodafone #echostar #lynk #amazon #regulatory #spectrum #spectrumsharing #3gpp #5gaa #MNO #MSSA #GSMA #mwc25 #europeanspaceagency #space42 #equatys #iridium #dt #MichaelHadjitheodosiou https://lnkd.in/eeT-x76H

What happens when your BSS doesn’t just process data… but actually thinks? Imagine a platform where: • Customer interactions can be predicted, recommendations are highly tailored and explainable, • Campaigns can be simulated and tested before launch, • AI agents work around the clock, taking safe, autonomous actions across domains, • New AI capabilities can be built in minutes without coding. This isn’t a concept. It’s here! Read our latest article on Developing Telecoms to discover how Agentic AI and Digital Twins are redefining customer engagement for the AI-native era!
