Finland has just released its National 6G Roadmap, setting a clear direction for how next-generation mobile technologies will be developed and adopted. This approach highlights the importance of long-term planning, public–private collaboration, and aligning research with national priorities.

Thailand is making a bold move to accelerate private 5G adoption. The telecom regulator plans to allocate 100M Hz of 4.8G Hz spectrum to businesses for free, aiming to help factories and industries deploy private networks that enhance operations and unlock new use cases. With adoption of existing 2.6G Hz 5G still limited, this new initiative could be a game-changer, encouraging partnerships between factories, equipment vendors, and operators to build tailored, high-performance networks. It’s a clear signal that Thailand is betting on enterprise 5G to drive innovation and efficiency across vertical industries. 🔗 Read more: https://hubs.ly/Q03KXGdY0 #Private5G #5Gadoption

🚀 5G Migration Path: From 4G LTE to Standalone 5G The journey from 4G to 5G is not just an upgrade—it’s a transformation. Follow our WhatsApp Channel for More Learning https://lnkd.in/eAdcDsXF This roadmap shows how operators can progressively evolve: ✅ 4G LTE (Baseline) → Stable foundation with EPC core. ✅ Option 3 (NSA EN-DC) → Quick 5G deployment with dual connectivity (4G anchor + 5G boost). ✅ Option 7 (NG-RAN) → Dual core operation (EPC + 5GC), preparing for full 5G. ✅ Option 2 (SA) → Pure 5G with ultra-low latency, network slicing, URLLC, and mMTC. 📊 Migration Benefits by Stage: Option 3 NSA → Quick 5G launch, reuse 4G core. Option 7 → Flexible dual core, path for advanced services. Option 2 SA → Full 5G capabilities unlocked (URLLC, mMTC, slicing).

As 2G and 3G networks are gradually decommissioned, mobile operators across Africa, Asia, and other emerging markets who still depend on USSD face a critical turning point. Experts from Adapt IT Telecoms explore this shift in our latest white paper, examining the rise of USSI — the IP-based successor set to redefine mobile value-added services for the 4G and 5G era. This is why you need it:  → Future-proofs your mobile offerings as older networks retire  → Delivers faster, more engaging user experiences  → Eases pressure on core network infrastructure  → Unlocks enhanced, more secure service capabilities Now’s the time to rethink how you deliver mobile services.  📥 Get the whitepaper here: https://lnkd.in/dPjwHcF4 #AdaptIT #Telecoms #AdaptITTelecoms #NGVAS

China has reportedly imposed new restrictions on the use of Nokia and Ericsson equipment in its telecommunications networks, requiring the European vendors to undergo opaque “black box” national security reviews by the Cyberspace Administration of China. The policy also mandates that suppliers disclose detailed component information and the share of locally sourced materials in their products. These measures, viewed as part of China’s broader effort to strengthen control over its telecom infrastructure and favor domestic suppliers like Huawei and ZTE, could sharply limit Nokia’s and Ericsson’s access to one of the world’s largest telecom markets and deepen ongoing technology tensions between China and Europe.

Today we’ve shared our ambition to be the first mobile operator to deliver a nationwide 5G standalone network with 99% population coverage – unlocking up to £230 billion in growth for the UK economy and providing the most reliable, high-quality, and secure mobile connectivity for millions of EE and BT Group customers. Some operators say the UK will have to wait until 2034 for this to happen. We will deliver it by Spring 2030. Underpinned by breakthrough rollouts of cutting-edge network technologies like ARC (Advanced RAN Coordination) and FDD Massive MIMO, millions of people and businesses are already reaping the benefits of our higher quality 5G connectivity. To make it easier for more customers to understand the benefits of this advanced network, from now on we’ll be using the term 5G+ in our marketing. It’s a new name but the same game-changing network, and one that delivers more for our customers, communities, and the country.

Post 2 – The Highways: Fiber Optic & Submarine Cables When you send a WhatsApp message in Malaysia to someone in the US, how does it travel? 🔹 It leaves your phone, enters your ISP’s network. 🔹 From there, it rides through fiber optic cables — the “highways of the Internet.” 🔹 Most international traffic goes through submarine cables, hidden deep under oceans 🌊. 🔹 To boost data speed, ISPs use DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) — turning one fiber into multiple “lanes” of data. That’s why the Internet feels instant, even across thousands of kilometers. 🔜 Next, I’ll explain who controls the traffic — the routers and protocols that guide the data. #Internet #FiberOptics #Telecom

Although the 5G network is the general trend, the 5G technology and base station construction are not mature enough in plenty of areas. According to the research, quite a few regions including India, Indonesia, Chile, etc. are using the 4G network. Some countries like Yemen have not started adopting 4G. Even some undeveloped regions are still using 2G. Therefore,the 3G/4G network market is potential at present. The demand in the 4G equipment market for high-quality and low-cost 4G routers will increase in the following years. According to the customer’s procurement situation and market research, the market for 4G CPE can’t be ignored. Every year, many operators bid for 4G LTE routers. The number of operators bidding is large and a project often requires hundreds of thousands or millions of units. 🙂

China Opens Satellite Market to Big Three Carriers in Push for Global Edge China Mobile Ltd. has received a license to operate satellite mobile communication services, ending China Telecom Corp. Ltd.’s monopoly and opening a three-way contest among the country’s state-owned carriers. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced the approval on Monday, just over 20 days after it granted a similar license to China United Network Communications Group Co. Ltd. (China Unicom) on Sept. 8. For years, China Telecom had been the sole licensed provider of such services. https://lnkd.in/d_5gkc6n
