Morse Micro says Wi‑Fi HaLow occupies an unusually useful middle ground – delivering more bandwidth than conventional low-power IoT technologies, much greater reach than standard Wi‑Fi, and low enough power consumption for battery- and solar-powered devices.

For years, the enterprise wireless industry has debated the relative merits of Wi-Fi and private 5G. The more important question may now be whether enterprises should be choosing between them at all. A new generation of converged networking platforms proposes that Wi-Fi, private 5G, public cellular, and even satellite should instead become complementary components of a common enterprise connectivity fabric.

SPARK calls its approach Low Energy Ultra-Wideband (LE-UWB) and positions the technology as a foundation for what it calls Deterministic Wireless™: Short-range wireless connectivity designed to approach wired performance in latency, synchronisation, robustness, and predictability while consuming very little power.

Every few weeks another announcement suggests that satellites are about to transform mobile communications – or perhaps even replace cellular networks altogether. According to independent telecom analyst and author William Webb, that isn’t going to happen.

The transition to Wi-Fi 7 is underway, but Ookla’s latest global research shows that adoption remains highly uneven across the world. Drawing on millions of Speedtest measurements collected from Android devices, the company’s Global State of Wi-Fi report offers one of the clearest pictures yet of how broadband subscribers are actually connecting to Wi-Fi networks today.

MediaTek VP James Chen explains how the company is applying AI to solve very specific Wi-Fi problems – not by creating another AI assistant, but by making wireless networks faster, more reliable, easier to operate, and significantly more energy efficient. The vision is disarmingly pragmatic.

Convention centres. Stadiums. Hotel atriums. Warehouses. These are some of the most challenging environments in enterprise Wi-Fi, where traditional ceiling-mounted omnidirectional access points often struggle to deliver both capacity and coverage. Cambium Networks believes it has the answer.

Modern stadiums have evolved into some of the world’s most demanding wireless environments. Supporting tens of thousands of simultaneous users while enabling broadcasting, ticketing, payments, security, operations, and immersive fan experiences requires a new generation of high-density Wi-Fi networks.

Artificial intelligence is transforming cybersecurity—but perhaps not in the way many expect. Contrary to popular belief, AI is not inventing entirely new forms of attack. Instead, it is dramatically increasing the speed, scale, and affordability of attacks that have existed for years.

For years Wi-Fi HaLow has been described as “the future of long-range Wi-Fi.” The industry’s focus is no longer simply proving that Wi-Fi HaLow works – It is now demonstrating where it delivers unique value.

Europe’s debate over the future of the upper 6 GHz band is often framed as a choice between Wi-Fi and future mobile services. According to Alex Roytblat, Vice President of Regulatory Affairs at the Wi-Fi Alliance, that framing misses the real issue.

Modern enterprise networks have become the digital nervous system of organisations. Europe’s decisions on the future of the upper 6 GHz band will help determine how quickly enterprises can embrace the next generation of digital innovation.

Europe is approaching one of the most consequential wireless policy decisions of the decade. The debate surrounding the upper half of the 6 GHz band (6425–7125 MHz) is no longer simply about spectrum allocation. It is about how Europe intends to build its digital infrastructure of the future.

Ultra-Wideband has entered a new phase of maturity. The discussion has shifted away from whether UWB works and towards how rapidly it will become embedded into enterprise Wi-Fi infrastructure, smartphones, industrial automation, and intelligent AI systems.

The wireless industry has spent more than two decades measuring progress in terms of faster Wi-Fi. According to Qualcomm, that era is coming to an end. Wi-Fi 8 represents something fundamentally different: The emergence of networking infrastructure designed specifically for the AI era.

The 2026 OpenWiFi/OpenLan Global Summit 2026 marked an important milestone in the evolution of the Telecom Infra Project’s OpenWiFi initiative. What began several years ago as an open-source Wi-Fi access point project has now expanded into a much broader vision encompassing complete enterprise networking.
