Telephony is a bit of a mixed bag. On the one hand, being able to talk to people in far off places is kind of neat, at least in theory. On the other hand, you’re usually reliant on a centralized network, which isn’t ideal to the mindset of most hackers.[Gautam]’s MeshLive project deals with that…

As telecom networks become increasingly intelligent, distributed and autonomous, AI-driven networking is moving from experimentation toward real-world deployment. But simply adding AI to network operations is not enough. Reliable data, end-to-end visibility, rigorous testing and continuous assurance will be critical to building networks that can make increasingly autonomous decisions

If you’ve either recently upgraded, or are considering upgrading to, one of the fastest NBN plans, then you’ll understandably want to make the most of the improved speeds. That’s where the best mesh Wi-Fi systems come in, as they’re designed to deal with dead zones and slow internet, to ensure you get top performance throughout…

Cats are famously good at getting into places humans cannot easily reach. Now, in Kazakhstan, some are putting that talent to work helping find missing pets. A project called GdeKotBot has recruited free-roaming cats as four-legged search volunteers, equipping them with tiny cameras and GPS trackers while artificial intelligence scans their footage for missing animals.

Following a number of complaints about network issues affecting iPhone 18 Pro Max devices, Apple has now confirmed that there is indeed a problem. It appears that the issue has only affected AT&T users in the US, and an iOS update is already available to fix it. That said, the update won’t work for those…

Agentic AI holds the promise of making networks smarter and staying steps ahead of impairments, all while taking stress off the people tasked with running them. But as companies begin handing over control of network operations to AI, the amount of responsibility to cede to digital teammates remains a question of trust.

Nokia is extending its longstanding partnership with Microsoft to accelerate network automation, announcing the development of an agentic, unified data foundation that supports faster, more reliable AI-driven operations for telecommunication providers.
