Emerging data center hubs fuel massive fiber demand

2 days ago | rcrwireless.com | Catherine Sbeglia

A surge in data usage driven by the rise of AI, remote connectivity and digital transformation is pushing global bandwidth needs to record levels — and experts say a massive investment in fiber infrastructure is essential to prevent a bandwidth shortage. According to third-party data shared by the company, an estimated 120 million long‑haul fiber miles and 70 million metro fiber miles must be deployed by the end of the decade — or risk creating capacity bottlenecks.
API ambitions actualized: GSMA Open Gateway hits 80% market share

Launched at MWC 2023 as a “paradigm shift” for the telecom industry, the GSMA Open Gateway initiative set out to deliver universal network application programming interface (API) access for developers, backed by 21 operators at its debut in Barcelona. Just two years later, the GSMA’s H1 2025 report highlights material progress: Nearly 80% of the global mobile market share is now covered. As operator participation stabilizes, the focus is shifting to API monetization and enterprise adoption.
Slicing is not a replacement for spectrum sharing (Analyst Angle)

3 days ago | rcrwireless.com | Dean Bubley

Some wireless industry commentators have suggested that “” is a viable alternative to either spectrum-sharing or the deployment of private (dedicated) networks by enterprises or other organizations. Network slicing, so the misconceived argument goes, should therefore allow for more high-power, wide-area spectrum to be cleared of its current users and made available for mobile carriers via auction. In reality, 5G slicing has severe constraints related to its capabilities, maturity and usefulness.
5 reasons cloud-native means greener, leaner

4 days ago | rcrwireless.com | Catherine Sbeglia

Cloud-native architectures are reshaping telecom networks, often spotlighted for their agility, speed to market and operational flexibility. But they also deliver another vital, often overlooked benefit: Cloud-native networks help operators build greener, leaner infrastructures that minimize energy use, reduce carbon footprints and lower costs. Here’s why.
5G Testing Challenge: Private networks
