Huawei 5G-A, enterprise automation, and security updates - Week of June 30, 2025
Companies mentioned
Overview of Recent Activity
Recent reporting covered telecom and AI service monetization efforts around Huawei’s 5G-Advanced (5G-A) work at Mobile World Congress Shanghai, enterprise network automation using Itential and Aviz Networks, and storage and security updates from Micron, Akamai, Embed Security, and Netskope. Cyber incidents involving fake software installers also appeared, alongside ecosystem and open standards activity from Apache Software Foundation, Yocto Project, OpenSTX, and CNCF.
Key Themes and Developments
Technology Releases & Product Enhancements
Micron launched the Micron 2600 NVMe SSD for OEMs, using “the first 9th-generation QLC NAND technology” and Adaptive Write Technology, and reported “up to 63% faster sequential write speeds and 49% faster random write speeds” versus value QLC SSDs, according to Micron.
Embed Security introduced an agentic security platform intended to triage and investigate alerts, reducing false positives by “90 percent,” and reported that “This has enabled our team to tackle more pressing issues, rather than chasing false positives,” said Allen Darrah of Spencer Fane.
Partnerships & Ecosystem Engagement
Blackfoot Communications partnered with Itential to modernize operations, cutting provisioning timelines “from weeks to minutes,” as described in the Blackfoot update. Actelis Networks also received an order from a major U.S. telecommunications carrier for its GigaLine solutions for gigabit connectivity in multi-dwelling units, with the company calling it “an important milestone in our MDU market strategy,” said Tuvia Barlev.
KLOG Transport Solutions partnered with ORBCOMM to improve cargo visibility in Europe using satellite IoT solutions, and KLOG’s Marta Cardoso said, “We were looking for a solution that could overcome the visibility gaps we experienced when transporting our customers’ cargo across rail corridors with no cellular coverage.”
Infrastructure, Platform, or Deployment Updates
Huawei reported progress on multiple 5G-A monetization and AI application projects with China’s major carriers, including its “AI Ultra-Broadband (AI UBB) solution,” and introduced its GigaBand portfolio to support evolving 5G-A networks for new AI applications.
Netskope Threat Labs identified a campaign using fake software installers to deploy the Sainbox remote access tool and Hidden rootkit, attributing the observed tactics and targeted demographics to the Silver Fox group with “medium confidence,” according to Netskope’s report.
