AT&T Details Forthcoming Updates to Mobile Network, Touts 5G, Small Cells, and IIoT Capabilities

AT&T revealed further elements of its plan to expand and innovate its US mobile network;  the wireless service provider is on track to test fixed broadband services using spectrum in the 15 GHz band and pre-5G technology this summer. It plans on adding 28 GHz band spectrum to its tests later this year, which are expected to have a mobility component in early 2017. Although the specifications and standards for 5G have yet to set (they are expected to be released by 3GPP in 2018), AT&T mentioned that it was important to conduct early testing of 5G components in order to gain familiarity with the technology and smooth the network’s transition into a 5G later down the line. Enhanced broadband wireless constitutes the first use case of the pre-5G standard technology. AT&T also spoke about re-architecting LTE in order to build a network capable of handling millions of connected devices (M2M connections) within a smart city, including connected cars, parking meters, and mobile healthcare services, which rely on extremely low power and low latency networks of less than one millisecond in the air interface.

Just a public-facing endpoint with no authentication. This wasn’t an isolated incident. From T-Mobile and Twitter (now X) to Kronos Research and the US Treasury, attackers have consistently used APIs as entry points. They […]
