Samsung and KT Revolutionize 6G with AI-Powered Network Breakthrough
Samsung Electronics and KT Corporation have validated AI-based Radio Access Network (AI-RAN) optimization on KT’s live commercial network, advancing 6G innovation. The AI-RAN leverages machine learning to customize network configurations per user in real time, improving connectivity in weak-signal or high-mobility areas. Field tests with around 18,000 users showed fewer dropped connections and enhanced overall service quality, proving AI can significantly elevate user experience.
AT&T Scores FCC Approval to Supercharge 5G with $1bn Spectrum Deal
The FCC has approved AT&T’s $1.02 billion acquisition of wireless spectrum licenses from UScellular, marking a strategic investment to expand network capacity, coverage, and performance, improving customer experience. This deal is part of AT&T’s broader efforts to bolster its 5G network and remain competitive in advanced connectivity services. Regulatory approval was contingent on AT&T ending its DEI programs, reflecting current FCC policy trends.
Restoring Connectivity in Aceh: Satellites Bridge the Flood-Damaged Networks
The Indonesian Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs is prioritizing the restoration of telecommunications in Aceh after devastating floods and landslides disrupted networks across Aceh, North Sumatra, and West Sumatra. Only about 40 percent of Base Transceiver Stations (BTS) in Aceh are operational, but the ministry aims to raise this to 75 percent once electricity stabilizes, showing adaptive planning amid infrastructure challenges. To innovate connectivity, satellite technologies like SATRIA‑1 and Starlink are being deployed to provide emergency internet access in isolated areas, expanding coverage where ground networks are down and ensuring affected communities can communicate and access critical information.
