| 8/29/26 | Qualcomm’s 6G Leadership Day, AI-Native Networks, ISAC Demos, FWA Performance, Starlink’s Terrestrial Ambitions, and Apple Foldable Rumors | Anshel Sag and Mike Dano return for episode 257 of the 6G Podcast and recap Sag’s visit to Qualcomm’s 6G event, highlighting Qualcomm’s view that 6G standards will remain global, real ISAC drone/car sensing demos, Giga-MIMO results (up to 16 Gbps downlink), a push for 400 MHz bandwidth, and an “AI-native” 6G approach including a compute card for the RAN while arguing GPUs aren’t required. Dano summarizes Ookla’s fixed wireless access report showing U.S. FWA holding up well with T-Mobile’s median downloads over 200 Mbps and seasonal foliage effects, plus AT&T speed gains tied to EchoStar mid-band spectrum. They discuss MobileX being mostly acquired by Charlie Ergen’s Connex, Starlink’s stated plan to build a U.S. terrestrial network, Lockheed Martin’s Verizon 5G-powered drone detection service Netsense launching next year, and expectations around a possible foldable iPhone at Apple’s September 9 event.00:00 Welcome Back and Catch Up01:01 Qualcomm 6G Vision02:58 ISAC and Giga MIMO Demos04:41 AI Native 6G and GPU Debate11:06 Fixed Wireless Performance Report15:16 MobileX Acquisition and MVNOs18:44 Starlink Terrestrial Network Plans25:50 Lockheed Netsense Drone Detection29:37 Apple Event Foldable iPhone Buzz31:30 Foldables Demand and Tradeoffs39:58 Wrap Up and Where to Follow | 40m 23s | ||||||
| 8/29/26 | Samsung Fold8 Unpacked, Starlink Brazil Data, Nokia AI-RAN, and 5G Earnings Season | In episode 256 of the 6G Podcast, Anshel Sag and Mike Dano discuss Samsung Unpacked in London, including the Fold8 and Fold8 Ultra on Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, the Watch9’s first use of a non-Samsung chip, improved Gemini performance, silicon-carbon battery gains, and Samsung’s expanded three-tier foldable lineup. Dano summarizes an Ookla report on Starlink in Brazil, where Starlink is the 13th-largest fixed broadband provider (~1.4% share), has more urban than rural customers, shows improving daily load effects since Q4 2025, and sees over 12% of customers changing locations in H1. They cover Nokia’s NVIDIA-based, O-RAN-compliant AI RAN platform claiming 50% spectral-efficiency gains by 2027 and 100% by 2028 with a 5G-to-6G upgrade path. They review an NTIA-led 6G “call to action” emphasizing open, interoperable, secure standards among allied countries, discuss EU Huawei rip-and-replace cost debates, and recap carrier/cable earnings trends: softer but solid growth, cable MVNO gains, broadband subscriber losses, reduced device subsidies, and limited concern about satellite/D2D. 00:00 Welcome and Travel Banter 01:03 Samsung Unpacked Hands On 04:40 Foldables Versus Cameras 05:59 Starlink Brazil Deep Dive 12:25 Nokia NVIDIA AI RAN 15:38 White House 6G Call 19:11 EU Huawei Rip Replace 23:28 Earnings Season Rundown 28:27 Wrap Up and Next Show | 29m 15s | ||||||
