Supply chain disruption isn’t a distant threat—it’s already hitting mobile networks. You may not see it yet, but mobile operators face multiplying risks: semiconductor shortages, sudden tariff shifts, hostile state actors, raw material shocks, and increasingly erratic weather are quietly eroding your ability to build, maintain, and scale your infrastructure. For Mobile Network Operators (MNOs),

How can you successfully operate, plan, and fund a broadband network? Most project owners focus on building the network, but they often forget a critical component – running and operating the network after deployment. So for that, we created something called a Board-Ready Study (BRS), which enables any project owner to successfully develop an actionable

Tribal communities across America are working hard to close the digital divide. According to Davida Delmar, a Navajo serving as Digital Inclusion Manager at AMERIND Critical Infrastructure, “There is a gap in Indian Country that prevents communities from fully participating online. This gap, or problem, is the digital divide.” She’s right. The US Census Bureau

Part 2: Who are the Heroes? In Part 1, I introduced a new approach to broadband, where a group of independent players team up to deliver a disaggregated broadband project by combining the unique abilities of each. Let’s do a walkthrough of the supers in our disaggregated broadband league and summarize how they interrelate, what

One of the most critical roles played by network operations teams in an enterprise environment is ensuring minimal downtime and maintaining optimal performance. As networks become more complex, these large-scale, multivendor enterprise infrastructures become correspondingly more challenging to manage. Under constant pressures to maintain service availability, address performance issues, and improve troubleshooting efficiency, operations teams
