Today’s telecom news includes announcements on InCoax Networks, LF Networking, Hubble Network, InPlay, among others.
InCoax Secures First US Order to Power Scalable Broadband Expansion
InCoax Networks AB has won its first US deployment order through CTIconnect for a rollout with Underline, marking a significant milestone in its North American growth strategy. The deployment includes building broadband solutions and customer premises equipment to support Underline’s fiber network expansion, which targets more than 100,000 planned connections. InCoax’s MoCA based technology enables operators to reuse existing coax infrastructure, helping extend fiber and fixed wireless access networks indoors while reducing capital expenditure and installation complexity. The solution supports multi gigabit speeds with low latency, allowing faster and more cost-efficient broadband delivery.
Open RAN Momentum Surges as LF Networking Formalizes O-RAN Software Community
LF Networking has elevated the O-RAN Software Community to a formal project, reinforcing collaboration across the growing open RAN ecosystem. This move strengthens alignment between open source innovation and industry standards, with continued coordination alongside the O-RAN Alliance. By bringing the community under its structured governance, LF Networking aims to accelerate development of interoperable, intelligent, and scalable radio access network solutions. The initiative enhances cooperation among telecom operators, vendors, and developers, enabling faster testing, integration, and deployment of open RAN technologies. It also reflects rising global momentum as operators increasingly invest in flexible and cost-efficient network architectures that reduce vendor dependency and support next generation connectivity advancements.
Hubble and InPlay Unlock Ultra-Low-Cost Global Tracking Revolution
Hubble Network has partnered with InPlay to deliver global asset tracking at a cost below $1 per device, challenging traditional RFID and cellular solutions. The collaboration combines InPlay’s ultra-low power IN100 NanoBeacon chip with Hubble’s satellite powered Bluetooth network of over 95 million gateways, enabling real time tracking without requiring new infrastructure. Devices can be embedded into smart labels, wearables, and IoT trackers, transmitting location and sensor data instantly. The solution addresses major supply chain visibility gaps, where companies struggle to track assets beyond limited ranges. By offering global coverage at RFID like pricing, the partnership aims to make large scale, item level tracking more accessible and efficient.
